I ended up using the approximation that on the ZS EV LR, 10% is roughly 7.3 kWh, and my wife topped up about 11% so let's call it 8kWh!

Is there a way to see how many kWh for a charge? My wife is away for the weekend, and the hotel she is staying at have said she can use the Granny charger, and to just pay for what she puts in the car. However, I've only ever seen battery% in the car and app, not the actual kWh...

Other than by trying, how do you know if your car has the "Tesla update"? Is there a software version to look for?

This might be a silly question, but ... I have the slow charger that came with the car, but I don't have any sockets close enough to plug it into. Can I use my Type 2 cable as an "extension lead" between the charger and the car? (Id rather use some excess solar to charge the car, than to give...

What is the name of the Tesla app? (I can find several tesla-related ones, but none that seem to be for the Superchargers) This is for Android phones... Thanks

Well, 600ish miles later, and guess what... Yep, "Maintain vehicle soon!" So, this is the third failed attempt by a main dealer to fix this software issue. We (forum members/car owners) seem to know more about the cars than the factory-trained technicians! I think I'll take the easy option of a...

So, it looks like they just pressed the service reset again... So, I think that as we do less than 15k per year, I'll just do the same every 500 miles and get the car serviced annually. At least they did fix the rear screen washer that was not working... A pipe had become disconnected. I don't...

Yes, but I want it to actually work, and count down the service interval, not just tell me it's 500 miles since it was last reset...

I have a 72 plate ZS Trophy Connect LR. On Monday, it is due to go back to the dealers for the 3rd time to get the recurring "Maintain vehicle soon" warning fixed. It's the usual thing... They reset it, and about 500 miles later, it reappears. Any advise on what I have to say to them to...

So, I have finally persuaded my energy provider to move onto an EV tariff with 5 hours of cheap electricity overnight. This means it's now in my interest to set a schedule for the car charging. I have a Podpoint charger, and ZS Trophy Connect LR - so should I use the schedule feature on the...

It's just updated on my Android, and doesn't get past the MG logo... I had to delete cache and storage to get it working again...

Well, much to my surprise and delight, I got a call from Perry's MG this morning, saying they've fix the spring, and to come collect the car.... So, under a week between the spring breaking, and Being back on the road?

Surely, a broken spring is an MOT failure, which makes the car unfit/unsafe to drive?

How long did it take to repair? I'm currently awaiting the AA flatbed to collect the car and take it to the dealers...

Yet another ZSTC EV to add to the broken spring list. (Rear passenger side). It happened tonight, very close to home. My wife nursed it back home, and took our other car. I'm now waiting for MG Assist/AA to turn up. In anyone is interested, car is a 72 plate, not yet a year old, with 9k on the...
