Where did data come from. I ask because elsewhere on this site it references that MG have hard coded the SOH into the diagnostics. Mine when battery is completely flat to fully charged takes 32kwh. Not 44.5kwh capacity. 73%! Computer says 92%!

Interesting- I tried like hell to get MG to accept fault but they would not. HV failures and battery capacity. Their diagnostics are really bad. AA and this forum know more about MGs than MG.

The AA are excellent- my zs ev has had this fault countless times. AA fix each time and mg say nothing wrong. I now avoid motorways because this happened to my son on a smart motorway. Very dangerous.

95%. My learned colleagues on this site have told me that MG have hardwired the SOH and it bears no relation to the actual health. Computer says it’s ok so it must be despite PPP.! Also, charging speed not covered by warranty so they can dial it back as much as they like with a software reset...

MG need to work out how to put an interlock on the charging connector. They tell me that charge port un locks when you unlock the car because it stop people driving off with the cable attached. Stupid logic - then connector is still in the hole!

Poor design - pipe freezes and pops off. Mine has been in the garage for repair for a week now - I must check rear washer before I take it away after the cold weather.

It may be cosmetic but driving in rain with the flap flapping will cause many more problems.

No idea. It goes into service every year and the dealer kick the tyres and charges me ~£100. Other symptoms suggest to me it knackered. I hope my meter is accurate. Ps I use a Zappi and I have verified it with Zappi, independent CTs and meter readings. I has become irrelevant because it goes...

Mine failed in 1st year. MG said not covered by warranty.

MG did - 95% at 40k miles. Ties with 32kWh. Energy in and out balance give or take some losses.

My charge flap has stopped latching closed and does not lock. It just stays open. MG want to charge me £450 for a replacement. Car still under warranty - why is this not covered? Warranty is incredibly POOR?

At the end of every full charge my ZS takes at least a 4 hour balancing charge at 0.3kW. Sometimes 6 hours. This is in addition to the very poor fast charging and very low battery capacity compared to specification. Max charge rate ever has been 36kW. Spec 76kW. Max charge from zero to full...

Keep being a grump if it means maintaining high expectations.

For the most part Lone Ranger life is good with an EV. Here in the little country one can get the edge and back in a day and sometimes on one charge. EVs are here to stay and the only solution for road transportation. Today I have done Somerset and back - 320 miles with only momentary pauses to...

Les. I said the charger does not know what car is plugged in, neither should it or can it. Several dealer visits have been made about both battery capacity and max charge rates - the dealer does not have the wit or equipment to diagnose and MG don’t care - they say charge rate is not covered...
