    Am I lucky? - My MG ZS EV Trophy LR experience

    Had my Gen2 Long range for 18 months and only real issues I have are the interior plastic creaks and rattles - they are just too annoying for me and doesn’t feel solid build. The dealer have had a couple of goes at fixing them but it keeps coming back so no good. Anyone else experiencing this...

    AC 7KW Charging speed

    Just an update on my issue. All pushing Podpoint multiple times over a 2-3 week period, this has now confirmed to be a podpoint issue and they have done some remote software updates / tweaks to our workplace charger to get it fixed (which I have confirmed to be worked so all great).

    Journey planning and charging

    I have been looking to get one of these full Android boxes but the prices have gone quiet a bit up in recent months. I have seen people buying the 4+64GB latest specs for as low as £75 here but now nothing less than £150. So waiting for them to come back down in price. It’s just a small android...

    Very interesting indeed! I have raised the issue with podpoint. Let’s see!

    AC 7KW Charging speed

    Thanks for this. Exactly my issue! So kind of relieved it’s not my car or cable on the face of it. But still very strange issue indeed. In my case, like I said, the Leaf on adjacent socket happily charged at 7KW all the way through and so did my previous leaf. My guess is some charging...

    AC 7KW Charging speed

    Waiting for the home 7KW wallbox to get installed so cannot test that yet. I agree.. was thinking of checking with another cable. Need to find someone to lend me one to test!

    AC 7KW Charging speed

    Unfortunately nope. I have checked at different charge levels (50% to 70%+ and same behaviour).

    AC 7KW Charging speed

    Alright then folks.. help me out with my first real issue! Only got the car few days ago (new ZS LR Trophy) but when charging on AC 7KW (normal podpoint charger as work or supermarket), the charging speed seems to start at 7KW (6.2-6.5KW shown on the app) but then slows down to half the speed...

    Wireless CarPlay - and some other features.

    Looks like the price has gone up quite a bit now on these. Any idea where can I get this or a similar one at a good price? Anyone else bought one of these 4G Android boxes recently at a decent price?

    Charging Stoppping due to heat?

    Got a similar charging issue today at work wherein the Podpoint 7KW charger; AC Type 2 (32A cable) charge rate started with 6.4 KW rate and then dropped to around 3.2-3.3 KW for the remainder of the session. Tried stop/start charging few times but didn't go above 3.x KW. My Leaf used to...

    New Car Day - Initial questions

    Thanks for your response. HVAC - My point was having a way to have fan still blowing fresh air with heater switched off (which is what I could easily do with my previous electric cars like Leaf or Ioniq). KERS - Not sure why MG haven't improved this part or do a software update to remember...

    New Car Day - Initial questions

    Thanks. I understand that but my question was is there a separate heater button (like AC one) that I am missing. Sounds like we don’t have a dedicated heater button / control on this car so the car basically decides when to switch heater on/off even in manual mode - not great but ok. I am...

    New Car Day - Initial questions

    Well yes probably! But having no direct control over using heater or not (which is very heavy on battery usage) is strange. My previous cars Leaf, Ioniq etc clearly had it very visible on the dashboard.
