My 2023 ZS EV Trophy SR doesn't have it, nor has the panoramic roof due to chip shortages I was told.

Getting in & out of a car has topped the list for our vehicle requirements. One of the joys of getting old, I suppose:rolleyes: An SUV/crossover are the only vehicles that fit the bill, so I'll be having a look at the new MG SE EV & BYD Atto 3 when the time comes. We've had two MG ZS's, a Gen 1...

I could live with, but I read that the new Atto 3 will have an updated interior. When the time comes, I'll nip over to BYD's sales location in Bury to have a closer look.

If I can't get a good deal on the new upcoming MG S5 EV when the time comes, I wouldn't mind the new BYD Atto 3, I got talking to the guy who parked next to me in one at Aldi & had a sit in it. I quite like it.

LOL For a Lancashire lad, 27C is unbearable, it's like being on the surface of the sun :D how are you supposed to sleep in this heat when UK is in the dark ages concerning A/C. I sent this YT video link to my mate in SE Australia, which explains why it feels hotter in the UK in Summer.

The Home Winter CrowdFlex trials finished at the end of April & I received £75 in gift vouchers just for leaving the car plugged whilst parked in the garage not necessarily charging, I open the HOME app & set the energy provider (British Gas) tariff to how much I need & when, then they do the...

The battery on mine died completely a couple of weeks ago, luckily it was in the garage at home when it died, My wife mentioned something about a message on the dash, but I completely forgot about it.:rolleyes: I had a Varta battery I took off a car a while ago & it was still charged, so I put...

400V on my gen ll ZSEV 2023 SR Trophy.

It was quite a long-drawn-out affair de-looping our power supply & upgrading from 60A to 100A. Getting in touch with north-west DNO wasn't a problem but getting the job done took from early November & finished at the end of February the next year. The guys said they're so busy doing these...

I've tried three on my gen 2 trophy SR zs ev & none of them work, I had no trouble at all with my gen 1 zs ev, they just worked straight off the bat with the paid Cars canner version. I've been told that it's a problem with PID files, apparently. I've only recently looked into it, but it...

I'm getting 143 miles in normal mode in my 23 plate SR trophy in this cold weather. Edit: I should add it hasn't been used since Christmas day & it's been -3C overnight temps here, with just 1-2C daytime temps the last few days.

Ah! Thanks for that, I'll turn my attention to other apps & have a read up on them.

Well after having zero trouble with a OBD-II reader on my Gen 1 ZS EV excite model I've now tried three OBD-II readers on my Gen 2 ZS EV Trophy SR with no luck, They have no problem connecting up to the OBD readers but will not show any data regarding an EV except for the 12V battery. I imputed...
