Fellow MG ZS EV owners, I’m writing this to raise awareness about a potential issue with our cars that could indicate battery defects. If your 2019-2020 MG ZS EV is experiencing any of the following: Reduced DC charging speed – originally 75 kW, now stuck at 35 kW or lower Reduced AC charging...

MG seems to have a big problem with first gen ZS EV HV batteries down throttling DC charging because of cell voltage mismatches. These issues indicate a warranty claim on the HV battery. Collect evidence by reading the OBD error codes, saving data on the battery cell mismatch with Android apps...

Hi everyone, My late 2020 ZS EV (60.000 km/37.200 miles and 8.8% battery degradation) has started to charge with erratic charging speeds on my three-phase 22 kW home charger, starting off with 6.7 kW and then suddenly going down to 2.3-2.0 kW. I tried various cables and other cars like my...

I got this one for $59. It works like a charm, DVD quality audio, can automatically detect different users, and receives updates from the Chinese manufacturer. https://www.banggood.com/Wireless-Carplay-Adapter-Wired-to-Wireless-Conversion-for-OEM-Car-Stereo-with-...

Hi everyone, Since we are living through extraordinary times, I wanted to ask whether anyone has an idea how to use the 1st Gen MG ZS EV HV battery as an emergency energy source for a house. Of course, anything short of voiding the warranty or ruining the car would be great. Thank you! Best...

Hi everyone, I would like to install a marten alarm in the engine bay and my installation manual asks to connect the alarm to a terminal 15 contact (starter relay in the engine bay box), so the alarm doesn’t run while the car is in use. Does anyone know where to find it? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, My MG ZS EV makes a squealing noise from time to time when I put the car into reverse. I assume this is related to the breaks, but is it common and should I get it fixed at the dealership? Or is it just a normal issue that some cars can have if you rarely use the breaks. Thanks!

Issue resolved: the car always uses the battery pack according to my MG dealer.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know whether the AC uses the 12V battery or the car's battery pack during a DC fast charging session? Thanks! Best, Strudel

I suppose right behind the steering column (RHD)

Hello fellow MG ZS EV owners, First-time poster here! I recently noticed that my MG emits a very faint "snoring" noise in the cabin from time to time. It's not a nuisance, but I wonder whether that's the battery cooling in action. Does anyone know what that is? Thank you and Happy Easter...
