    Sometimes when i press the button to start the car it says HV battery shut off, what does that mean

    Hi, from what I know it's High Voltage battery shut off.... Most likely as it's not in use its turned off to conserve power. You need to turn off ignition completely and restart the process. I always press the brake when I get in. It's not a fault, just the system. Advise, put foot on the brake...

    Radio

    The radio and Android on my 2020 AS EV are random at least once\twice a week, seem to have a glitch.... Sometimes resets itself.... If not I just hold the power button for about 10 secs and it reboots.

    2nd service average cost?

    Just got an anniversary letter from the dealership, the ZS EV is now 4years old. I popped into SERE Belfast for a price - £184.00, sounds like a normal inspection service and includes pollen filter... 40k equivalent, seemed reasonable.. But I've no idea what checks are covered.

    Reduced range in winter (merged)

    Same here, 2020 MG ZS EV... I'm getting 126 miles on a full charge, really shocked by the depletion of it in the cold weather. I drove from Belfast to Dublin on a full charge, literally 0miles left in Dublin, lucky to be arriving at a friend's and its 100 miles by Google, so didn't even go the...

    Interesting/worrying story from Scotland - ZS with no brakes.

    I read this story first and thought the MG pilot stuck on, as one other user mentioned the brakes are mechanical... if the brake light switch failed would the car know the pedal is pressed?! Could have been a very simple fault causing a bigger issue, the car wouldn't just drive itself!? Surely...

    Charging my Gen 1 2020 Mg ZS it normally charges up to somewhere between 185 and 198 miles

    I'll always check on eco mode with the air con/blower switched off, shows maximum capacity. My range is 3.4kw per mile. It's showing 170 miles full charge at the minute 5-10 degrees outside in Belfast. I only charge on slow charger at home, use rapid chargers on longer trips

    Charging my Gen 1 2020 Mg ZS it normally charges up to somewhere between 185 and 198 miles

    I got my MK1 in April, 32000 miles was giving full charge 189 miles, now dropped to 159 miles in the colder days. I reset the kw per hour (was 3.4kw) then it jumped slightly to 165 miles.... Still handles as Belfast to Dublin motorway trip with 40 mile left when you arrive.. (sticking to the...

    So do you like your MG ZS EV?

    A follow up on the m/kwh. Mine is showing 3.4 miles per kilowatt hour, which is really good, I did a run from Belfast to Dublin at the weekend monitoring the tripz I would have got into Dublin City centre on a full charge, but not knowing the EV charging points I didn't want to risk it, stopped...

    Thanks for you response Susanna, I understand the driving style piece, in fairness I do alot of city driving, however live in Belfast and do a Belfast to Dublin drive, once a month. So it is possible the next run to Dublin will average out the balance, seems a long time for it to balance feom i...
