Did you get it fixed?

Saw that too, but was concerned it had lost 3% in just one year, so could potentially lose 20% before I get rid of it in 5 years, assuming the rest of the car lasts that long 😆

Hi. Thanks for this. Really good to know, as my use seems almost identical to yours. Likewise I use the Pod home charger almost all the time, charging to 80% and never going below 20%, with only occasional high speed charging when doing a 500 mile journey there and back, travelled twice per...

Hi everyone. Just had the second service on my ZS EV 2023 plate, and having had 100% HV battery recorded after the first service, I was shocked to see it had dropped to 97% in the second year, with similar mileage, about 8000 miles per year, 16500 at the time of the service. Should I be...

Wow! That's good to know, as some local dealers wanted to charge me over £200 when I checked last year!

Hi. I could do with some advice please. I purchased my ZS EV LR in September 2023, and when it was serviced last September, the dealer refused to update any of the software, "as there have been no major improvements". I have a few issues including the terrible Lane Assist function, and the Auto...

To be clear, it's not a nudge of the lever up, as that increases the speed. You need to pull the lever towards you to re-enable ACC.

My experience of the ZS is it definitely has a few software hiccups. I always set the ACC when going to Sainsbury's as it's a 20mph limit all the way. Yesterday, on turning into Sainsbury's I pushed the ACC lever forward to stop the cruise control, it kept going, nothing in front of me...

Looks like the redesign is already released in China with a UK release date of April 2025. https://www.motorpoint.co.uk/car-news/new-2025-mg-zs-ev-replacement

Totally agree! When will it end?! 🤬😡🤬

Just spotted this news report. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/31258637/moment-ev-electric-traumatised-car-crash-car-driver/ Sounds like a case of user error? Coincidence that the first reaction again is "I'll never step in another EV car"?!

Wait. The ZS has a heated steering wheel? I've never found that! How do you turn it on?

As well as battery chemistry, it's a lot about the heating in Winter. If you do journeys driving slowly, stuck in traffic, with the heater on, or you sit outside the supermarket waiting for your other half, then it will use considerably more energy, and the range will drop significantly. Nothing...

What do you mean by a 40 second delay? You have to wait 40 seconds for it to connect? Sounds a lot more of a faff than connecting instantly with a wire 🤔

I know somebody who drove a brand new BMW EV, with less than 200 miles on the clock, through a ford. The car was written off. I certainly wouldn't drive an MG through one after that story, and avoided the recent floods because of it.
