    First edition MG ZS EV flat battery - Help !!!!

    Yes, I have had two main services at the MG dealer in St Albans, but have no card. Should I just call the AA and see if I'm covered ? I'd like to get this sorted for any future issues.

    First edition MG ZS EV flat battery - Help !!!!

    Good evening everyone, I last used my first edition MG ZS EV on Wednesday and came to the car tonight, but the car was not responding to my key at all.

    Cost of 15,000 mile service ?

    My MG ZS EV which we have used since Aug 2021 now needs its first service as it is close to 15,000 miles. I have a couple of issues that need to be sorted out via the warranty, but one MG dealer has quoted me just short of £160 for the service. I was under the impression that EV servicing was...

    Very impressive, but not sure I want to fall into that wormhole !!!! After last night's charge meter is showing a much more accurate expenditure, so not sure if they have managed to update the software on the smart meter.

    Which wall charger?

    I just wanted to provide an update on my Hypervolt install. After feeling that my first quote from the recommended installer of just shy of £835, I was contacted by Hypervolt themselves to see how the process was going and I mentioned that I thought the price was a bit high compared to others...

    Which wall charger?

    Thanks for the replies everyone, really amazing how quick you people are at helping out. In reply to some questions, I'm not really a Facebook fan to be honest, not a member and don't really want to join. The quote is from Hypervolt's recommended installer. I was just drawn by the enthusiasm on...
