Morning,
I'm a fleet manager and we have recently added an MG ZS EV Lux to our fleet.
The driver is reporting range issues, so I have taken the car to trial it.
I usually drive a Hyundai Ioniq EV and have averaged 4.2 miles/kW over the 31k miles I have driven it.
The MG appears to struggle to reach to 2.5 miles/kW on the same journeys, being driven in the same manner by myself.
On a full charge, the car is stating a range of 160 miles at present.
It is supposed to be a Long Range, but I'm not sure how to check if it is or not.
Scrolling through the menu, I found under vehicle information that the car is noted as ZS EV LUX, with VIN of LSJW74099PZ222360.
Is there anyone who have a Long Range who can check what the vehicle information shows their car as ?
Should the Long Range be noted on there ?
Is there a way of checking the VIN to see if the car is actually a Long Range ?
Given that the range of 160 miles could be accurate for this time of year for a "normal" battery vehicle, I'm wondering if perhaps the vehicle we have been supplied is not actually a Long Range.
We have the car booked into the local dealer next month for a health check, but I like to do my own fact finding rather than rely upon often ill-informed service departments.
Any assistance would be appreciated, Bob.
