    Miles/kWh

    It’s more likely that you 1; have a heavy left foot, 2: are using the HVAC constantly. 3: do most of your miles from cold on open roads where little or no regen is being created. This is not a criticism of any driving style, just a list of things that increase energy consumption. Shorter trips...

    Miles/kWh

    If you are driving in city traffic in the summer it is quite possible to achieve up to 5mi per kWh. In winter on open roads that could easily drop to under 2. Best way to judge is to look at the long term average.It is all dependent on your driving style and the routes you regularly use coupled...

    Hive EO mini 3 & MG4 charging issues

    Avoid EO chargers. There is virtually no product support. The devices become obsolete when software support is withdrawn. You will be offered a derisory discount on an updated device. Only remedy is to sue via the County Courts. Took me over a year to get adequate resolution. Please read reviews...

    MG ZS EV Steaming up windows

    This is quite common on all electric cars. Sounds as if you are driving in ECO mode with HVAC turned off to gain as many miles as possible. Try driving in NORMAL mode with the air circulation button set to open and the HVAC on. You’ll lose a few miles but the car won’t steam up. (Or drive with...

    Failed first MOT

    Sound advice. However, if you drive anywhere on the roads in Kent, potholes appear like measles spots and in wet weather, are not always apparent. Springs should not fail on cars of this age. My suggestion as before is to examine the failed springs for metal fatigue and ask for them to be...

    Failed first MOT

    I’ve had both rear springs break at separate times on my MGZSEV TROPHY CONNECT. Both replaced under warranty. It is a known fault with a batch of springs in 72 plate cars. If they refuse. Ask for the old springs back and have them tested for porosity. Make sure that it is your springs you get...

    I have an MG ZS EV registered Dec 2019. It's battery has now failed at under 22,000 miles . It had no service in 2021.

    I note that you said there have been no recent collisions. Have there been any previous collisions which may have resulted in battery damage?

    Hive EO mini 3 & MG4 charging issues

    I had an EO Mini Pro1 charger for my first MG ZSEV. It failed catastrophically after three years. There is NO support from EO and I was advised that it was now obsolete and irreparable. I took them to the small claims court and they settled the day before the case was due to be heard. Avoid EO...

    Are you in ECO MODE. If so, try in N. Might make a difference.
