The other day I was away from home and needed to charge. I tried a NRMA (Australia) charger and it was unable to communicate with the car. I tried another charging location, and the same thing occurred. At this stage I had less than 20km left, so I was getting a bit concerned. It occurred to...

I just re-named the file and changed the link target and the graph now works. I'm in Sydney, and the weather hasn't been that unusual. I don't think it's that. I think it must be related to a reset as a result of draining the battery down to a low value. I recently got it below 10%, which is...

Hmm, I think there's a caching problem with the MGEVS server - click on the graph to see the correct version. You may be right about the discharge - I recently got very low on charge.

I've been monitoring the SoH on my ZS since 11,000km. The graph looks like this: Note the interesting up-tick at about 46,000km. Any ideas on why this might be happening? Gonzo

Thanks for the flowers! Yes, BT and BLE are different technologies, and Elmduino doesn't mention BLE (that I could see). I'd be surprised if the OBD2 dongles use BLE, as they're not meant to be low-power devices (they are connected to the car's 12V). Sorry I couldn't be more help. Gonzo

My car is a Gen1 bought in Apr '21. Current SoH is 92%. That graph will update itself as I get more data. See my review of the car - link in my signature Gonzo

This is my SOH, measured with OBD. It's going down at about 1.7% per 10,000km. Don't know why it flattened out during the 20k period. I mostly charge from home, usually to 100%, but a few times a year I do long trips and use fast chargers. Gonzo

Hi All. Here's my latest project: https://gonzos.net/projects/obd2-on-a-mg-zs-ev/ Enjoy! Gonzo

Here in OZ Tesla have opened up some of their destination superchargers to other brands of vehicle. The cost is about equivalent to petrol, but if it's your only option, who cares..? Anyway, I tried to charge my MG ZS at Narooma (south coast NSW). I downloaded the Tesla app, set it up, and...

Well, I couldn't find any exploded view, but since many of my mates wanted to know about my car I wrote a review here: Owning a MG ZS Electric Vehicle – Gonzo Projects There's a photo of what's under the bonnet with the items identified. Gonzo

I do all my costings on what goes INTO the charging cable - I use the meter in my wall charger. I assume the cumulative trip meter on the car measures ALL of the energy drawn from the battery, not just the power needed to run the traction motor, so that would include the HVAC, etc. Losing 13%...

Hi all. My ZS has done about 12k km, and is averaging 16.5 kWh per 100km (6.1km/kWh, or 3.8 mi/kWh). That's calculated from the energy in as measured by my EO charger. I've not reset my cumulative trip counter for a while, and that says I'm using 14.4 kWh per 100km. So this tells me that my...

I used Torque Pro with an Autohil adapter and these PIDs: https://github.com/peternixon/MG-EV-OBD-PID Gonzo

Sydney, Aus, SOH 99.6%, 12000km, 12 months old. A few 50kW charges on trips, but mostly charged at home from ~30% to full with balancing on 7kw unit. Gonzo

Does anyone have a link to an exploded view of the ZS EV drive train? Looking at mine I can imagine what is where, but it would be nice to have a picture. Gonzo
