    MG ZS EV - Vehicle to Load - adapter not recognised

    Thanks, I spotted those threads, though it isn't clear if there is a way to identify if V2L works without trying an adapter that you know is reliable. I've sent a message to the eBay seller, but will probably go ahead and buy, and if it doesn't work hope that the dealer can sort it for me - we...

    MG ZS EV - Vehicle to Load - adapter not recognised

    I can't be certain looking at the socket, and I would have expected an image of a UK plug as they display a range of accepted plugs. But if you have this actual item and have plugged in a UK plug, then I'll take your word for it. Thanks elkay62

    MG ZS EV - Vehicle to Load - adapter not recognised

    I've looked at it and can't see any UK plug in the examples displayed.

    MG ZS EV - Vehicle to Load - adapter not recognised

    The one you have linked to does not appear to take a UK plug. Do you use an additional adapter?

    Rapid charging only 22kW on Mk2 MG ZS EV SR

    Hi all, Thanks for the comments, and my experiences tie in with what you are saying. I ran the battery down to 25%, then turned on battery heating before visiting a rapid charger (BP Pulse 150). This time it started around 37kW and rose to 45kW. Temperature was c. 10°C, and the charger was...

    Rapid charging only 22kW on Mk2 MG ZS EV SR

    I didn't expect the factors mentioned (low temp, highish starting point) would make so much of a difference, But I'll find out tomorrow, and let let you know the result :-)

    Rapid charging only 22kW on Mk2 MG ZS EV SR

    No, it's a standard range (SR). I considered the 70% a factor, but reading loads of threads about rapid charging, I see no mention of it charging at such a low number before getting into the 80's, which is why I have asked in a new thread.

    Rapid charging only 22kW on Mk2 MG ZS EV SR

    I typically get around 2kW, so 8 hours overnight gets me about 16kWh, c. 55 miles, which is my typical weekly mileage. Which is why I'm happy with the granny charger for now. It's the 2 of 3 trips a year where I need to use public chargers is the problem.

    Rapid charging only 22kW on Mk2 MG ZS EV SR

    HI, New owner of a Dec 2024 ZS which I believe was manufactured in 2023, I've had the car for about a month, and only charged on the granny charger up until now. I have been preparing a few questions/comments to post in its own thread as a newbie, but a sudden requirement for a 250 mile round...

    Which is best to use the built in MG Navigation or Android Auto

    Just a note to clarify, you do not need mobile data for Google Maps. In the app on your phone, tap the icon representing your account on the right of the search bar, and you will see the option for offline maps. When you tap this, there is an option to select your own map area, which you can...

    High petrol consumption & high revs

    I've heard that it runs more on the combustion engine on start up when ambient temperature is in single figures. I put off purchasing one due to this, as average temperature where I am is less than 10°C for 6 months of the year, and I only do short trips. Any owners have any feedback on mpg in...

    Mpg

    It was the post from Evor on this thread that raised some concern for me: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/thinking-of-buying-one.18502/post-318570 Of course, the engine always on for the 3 mile trip doesn't mean the EV hasn't kicked in, but the 30mpg is worrying.

    Mpg

    I'm thinking about getting an MG3, and mpg like you guys are getting would be fine. My dealer told me I could expect >60mpg based on my typical driving - mainly short journeys around town. However, one of the other threads mentions that the MG3 will run on ICE when the ambient temp is <10°C...
