I'm left wondering if there is a software difference that prevents equalisation on the ZS MK2 later models happening at any state of charge? Mine is NMC too yet no equalisation unless I get the low battery warning first before charging to 100%. Do you have to take your battery down to the low...

Hello Chris, yes to all of that. Am aware of what the book says regarding regen & equalisation etc but so many folks on here are telling me that their cars equalise at more or less any soc. This I had never heard of (at any state of charge) & my dealer was somewhat skeptical of this. Yet some...

Indeed, but the previous equalisation & BMS calibration that I did where I took the soc down to 17% produced a 'proper' equalisation lasting almost 12mins (quite a short time still) & no regen available afterwards until the soc dropped a little. That charge was carried out 3 months after getting...

Fred, what soc did you start from? Is yours an NMC battery pack? Interestingly, I don't think my car equalised the battery cells at all. I set out on my journey this morning & found my regen (set to 3) was fully operational. Virtually one pedal driving just as usual right from the word go! Not...

It's kinda what I expected too Chris. But nothing really happened.

Thanks, but I don't actually worry about it. But I do want to keep the battery in its very best condition for a very long life. I know the battery will last a very long time even if I don't equalise regularly but my thinking is to do my best for the way I use the car to look after the battery...

Ok, further to my post above. Last night, having carried out a battery equalisation charge as per advice from the forum, I charged the car from 31% soc to 100%. Out of interest this morning the GOM showed 300 miles of range at 100% (483kms) in normal mode. Pretty good. But here's the thing...

Thanks guys. Yes, I should have mentioned the bit about BMS calibration happening also. The dealer mentioned that too. I want to do the whole thing as the car is 5 months old & has only ever been charged to 100% once in that time. I'm only covering about 6-7k miles per year so probably doesn't...

Ok, so this is an older thread but still very relevant. My late MK2 2024 ZS EV LR Trophy bought new Jan 2025 displays the 'low battery warning' at the 20% SOC. That also comes with a verbal warning from a very nice lady that lives in the dashboard of my car!! I took the battery down to 17% then...

Yes, I just don't know when the R27 came out for our cars but it's pretty new so I'm told by the tech that sorted my car. My car also came with the R25. But it's the other module updates to the car that came with it that interest me. R25 cannot see the other updates apparently. So it won't be...

I think I read that we have a couple of 1 mega watt chargers already somewhere over here. There was a video about them iirc.

Thanks Hmadsen. I supposedly got my ota update after I did a hard reset of the car to try to solve a software issue caused by the body shop where my car had warranty work carried out to its paintwork. This map update was waiting for me the next day. So at that point my car was running the same...

Yes, we do mix our measurements Pete. We still use miles per hour for speed & miles for distance. Yet most other measurements are metric!

No negotiation unfortunately. Also if yours is the same or similar to everyone else's plans there in the small print are management fees in addition to the cancellation fee that will apply. These can be considerable. Mine was £130 plus a cancellation fee of ££37 or there abouts. It was a really...

Yes, but that's what Toyota are saying. This was announced around 9 months ago. From memory it was 1000 miles not kilometres. In reality Toyota will likely produce just one luxury ultra high range car with most of the new range of cars having 4-500 mile ranges. The charging networks are already...
