Thank you so much for the feedback. I am starting to believe this is ECU/software related. Today I have made a 75 mile trip over to the east coast. On the motorway cruising at 70mph. My car was behaving exactly as you describe above. After 30 miles the engine increased to 3800rpm, still...

Quick update. The below is a email response from MG UK. I would love to know if anyone else experiences this, so I can put my mind at rest. Once the EV battery has been depleted past 90% the engine can decide to put power back into the EV battery to extend the range and so the revs can jump...

Hi guys. A quick update. After 3 days of emails back and forth to MG Uk. They insist that my car even though fully charged will intermittently rev at up to 4000rpm to recharge the almost fully charged battery for over 30 minutes. I find this hard to believe. What I have noticed is that at 70mph...

Hi I have now been the owner of the HS PHEV for 4 weeks. There is something I find really strange that MG are insisting is normal. I charge the car up to 100% every day. When i take it on the motorway cruising at 70 it usually sits at 2200 rpm in HEV. But alot of the time, particularly when...

Hi. Thanks for the info. I understand the theory of how the engine is supposed to work. The trouble is mine is over revving while not demanding an up hill acceleration or an overtake. My battery is at 80% I know the car has two gears. It seems to me for some reason after the car is warmed up it...

Mine too has been in the garage twice. Software issues where the right hand display square freezes. Air bag warning light fault coming through on my app. Emissions engine light fault. The main one, and I still cant find out if this is normal. From the garage or MG UK. When i accelerate in HEV up...

Thanks. I have done a bit of research on Parallel and Series Hybrid set ups. I agree, very clever. But do other HS PHEV owners experience such high RPM's at cruising speeds? I could live with the engine firing up at 2000rpm to charge the battery, which would be far less intrusive than thrashing...

I believe that is the case with the ZS, not in the HS PHEV. I can not possibly accept that in HEV mode on a motorway cruising at 70mph, the engine should be screaming at 4000rpm to charge a battery. This is constant and my fuel economy drops to 18mpg. This is neither economical or effective...

Hi. I bought my MG HS PHEV 4 weeks ago. I started to have trouble when driving on a flat or slight decline where the engine in HEV mode would sit a 3000rpm. Even when letting go of the accelerator the engine would not change gear. I have since taken the car back to the main dealer who...
