Thanks @JodyS21 l have the OBD2 port permanently in the car and an old Samsung phone with the Mobile App v1.2.1 As for voltage, l was concerned when we picked the car up as other new owners in Aus complained about their voltage and mileage falling the more they drove. After the update, and...

Hi @JodyS21 (and thanks for doing this) Data for the MG ZS EV only 25 weeks old (27/2) as follows; Fast charge approx 10 times in this period Overnight charging to full 5 x per week = 125 full cycles

Great idea, I'll keep a lookout. In addition to 15857km (9853ml) indicated today a 99.19 SoH Rapid charged about 10 times. Charge to 100% 5-6 times a week. (Overnight)

Our 6 month old MG ZS EV after 15857km (9853ml) indicated today a 99.19 SoH. Still happy with this level of health given the drive and zippyness of the car which has not changed from day one. Hi from Aus

Hi @Ozpete5000 Albeit my wife has a MGZSEV, l have been looking at the BYD cars as well (Tang) If this car with a 74kwh (usable) battery comes in at under 50k (AUD) l think l will take the plunge myself. Keep in touch and let me know via private messages if you hear anything. Oh, and for what...

To be honest @PleasureMachine it was the wife that did the deal. If your from Vic, its a no brainer that you should be getting the car for under 40k. If you want more info, private message and we are more than happy to help

I nearly fall off the chair when my wife said she wanted a ZS EV, given her life obsession with cars and driving like a rally driver (even just going to the supermarket) She happily traded in her Peugeot GT 2008 (2018) after her first test drive of the ZS

It starts with the following link on this website (search for below) Project OBD2 - Mobile App v1.2.1 Luckily we had an old android phone so l could down load the app and l picked up a OBD2 which sits in the car now. the attached pics from Dr Dave in this post and my stats all come from these...

Lets hope it all went to plan, do you have the app and can you see what version firmware you now have, cheers

Thanks @JodyS21 , Our MG ZS EV was born 01 Nov 2020, arrived in Australia mid December and warehoused. We purchased 31/12 to get a great deal including 3 years free servicing, 5 years roadside assist, 7 years warranty and 8 years HV battery warranty. Everything was going to plan until we heard...

Thanks @Dr Dave, definitely a country firmware release for sure. I'm with @JodyS21 who thinks its temperature related. I guess time will tell

Thanks @JodyS21, l too would like to know why our BMS is so different to our northern cousins. Regarding Comfort 2 Pack, l was lucky enough to not have any annoying "bongs" from the beginning so think that this update is a hybrid copy of that version, maybe Comfort 2.1 ?. Hence why l would like...

The take away from the first service (at least here in Australia) BMS upgraded as follows (changes highlighted) Only notable change l could see was the kms remaining now permanently on the center display (replacing second clock), and a seat belt warning (2 minutes on empty seat) observed and...

It’s real guys!!! Sitting here at the dealership waiting for my ZS EV to have its first service and software upgrade l can’t believe how nervous l have become. When the technician said, “it’s ok sir, we’ll take good care of her” and walked off, it felt like she (ZSEV) was going into surgery 😀 l...

Very Stupid, but insures the Victorian government gets the money before it is collected by the federal government and is used for every thing else but roads. Like yourself l don't object if its used for its intended purpose, is reported and audited in a transparent manner. The diesel and...
