Anyone else having a really poor experience with the MG service team? The latest for me is that they have ticked that they have checked the HV state of charge & state of health but not written it down (they have done the same for the previous 2 years). I called to find out what it was and they...

Having to replace my battery, any idea if a 027 will work? All of the sites (Euro car parts/ Halfords etc) are saying it needs a 027 but everyone on here seems to be saying it's 096 so unsure which I need. I have a 2019 MG ZS EV. And is it AGM or EFB that I need? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I need to replace the 12V battery in my 2019 MG ZS EV but no one seems to know which type I need, can anyone help out, please? Am I right in thinking this one will work? (AGM027)...

It was 8c, cold but not very cold so would have thought it'd be ok. I'll try again in summer, might have been a dodgy charger.

Yep, kept checking and only managed 31-42kw.

I made the mistake of charging with Ionity. I was in a rush and thought a 350kw charger would be faster than a 50kw charger so paid 69p/kwh instead of 39p/kwh with Gridserve. Got exactly the same speed as I usually do with 50kw chargers, charged 29kwh and it cost £20 rather than £11.30 with...

I've put together all of my rapid charges since I bought my car and I've noticed the following: Min charge rate: 15.95 kw Max charge rate: 45.42 kw (Only 3 out of the 14 charges were in the 40s, with the maximum being 45.42) Average: 34.94 kw Most of the charges were on a 50kw charger, but...

Thanks for your advice and info. I've had a right time since getting the car. Evans Halshaw didn't have a clue about anything when I bought the car and then the MG dealership didn't know anything either so it's been a case of 'figure it out by yourself', unfortunately.

Going for my service next week and I want to be clued up as when I originally called them they had no idea that the EV needed software updates (this is a main MG dealer too!). I've since found out they have a new team so 'hopefully' better trained, however, they couldn't tell me if my car has...

Yeah, I was looking at it and wondering if I can get there and back in one charge, not sure what 'day trips' my mother-in-law has planned from there so we'll see. I'm adamant to show them that an electric car isn't an inconvenience. I'm thinking I'll top up at Pickering on my way up to give an...

You don't need to apologise for Jedburgh, the actual place was lovely! Almost didn't mind being stuck there, definitely worse places to be stranded! (The only complaint is that the public toilets close early, it's almost as if they don't realise people may need the toilet after a certain time lol)

Lots of great points, it's definitely been a learning curve and I'm hoping my next long journey will be better, just hoping the government get things sorted sooner rather than later as I have noticed a lot of electric cars on the road this year, as other's have said, it's becoming unmanageable...

So I bought my ZS EV end of May and it has been amazing for doing my 60-mile round trip to work. However, I recently went on my first long road trip from Hull to Newcastle and then on to Edinburgh and back. Every journey was a disaster. So I planned my route, had plenty of stops so that I...

Hi, I'm from Yorkshire and planning a trip up to Scotland soon. I have my route planned which includes some Charge Place Scotland chargers, am I able to just turn up to the chargers and use them as a 'guest' or do I need to get a card in advance? (If so, any idea how long this usually takes...

So with it all being electronic, how does a buyer know that it has full service history? For example, all I know is next service is due in around 9000 miles according to the display (im currently on just over 13,000 miles on a Nov 2019 MG), I have no idea if the previous owner serviced it at the...
