    12v battery thoughts

    I've had my car for almost a year and never touched the 12V battery. I parked my car in a cold airport parking, in a foreign country for a month and came back to no problem at all. I basically ticked all the risk factors and everything went fine, so I won't worry about this anymore

    MG ZS EV - Rain + Motorway = Terrifying Drive

    I've had a somewhat related incident three times, it was raining on the highway and after about 15~30 minutes of driving the car would tell me that ACC and the front camera were not available (it was the anomaly ring, not the obstacle beeps). It takes a car reboot to make it work again, I...

    MG ZS EV 2022 boot liner

    I was looking for an MG ZS EV boot liner and I settled on a full set I found on aliexpress. Quality & Looks The material quality is decent, I wouldn't worry about anything short of a chief knife piercing through it. There are obvious creases where they folded it for transport and it looks like...

    Cold weather anecdotes and warning

    It started getting cold around where I live in the last few weeks and while it's widely known that EV tend to become less efficient in the winter I feel like summarizing that do just an efficiency drop is not enough. I bought a MG ZS EV 2022 LR this year as my first EV so here are my cold...

    Heated seats?

    The heated seats are very fast and use way less energy than the main heating system. The inconvenient for me is that it's too hot, I usually turn them off once ambient in the car is comfortable enough

    Head lights sensitivity

    I turned off mine after it wrongly and repeatedly turned them on due to the fog trapped in front of the sensor

    Problems with Infotainment system

    Problems I had: Voice assistant randomly picks up on discussions or even my gps (I disabled that feature now) Clicking the play button when on bluetooth doesn't start playing audio Bluetooth mic is inconsistent during calls

    Parked for 3 weeks... bird poop was the worst problem

    I was worried about parking for a week at the border between France and Switzerland, my dealer told me when I bought the car that there were cases of 12V battery being drained due to DAB being stuck scanning frequencies... well that didn't happen

    On the gen 2 if the screen doesn't show the odometer you can change screens with the left and right arrows on the steering wheel

    Traffic jam assistant

    See the ACC controller ? Pulling it towards you once enables ACC, doing it twice quickly enables TJA

    Zs Ev Eco, Normal, Sport

    Best for me: normal mode and max regen at all time ... and a bit of sport mode when you want to take off at the traffic light

    Charging to 100 % on 7 kW home charger.

    It is "ok" as in the car won't die but the battery will age faster, ideally you'd store it between 20% and 80%. If it's not inconvenient for you I'd recommend setting the limiter to 80% for day to day use. Other factors also influence battery aging (charging speed, storage temperature, depth of...

    Using a Granny Charger.

    I tend to get 1800 to 1900 watts with my MG branded 10A charger, so about 30% overnight which is plenty enough for me.

    Charged to 100% for a long(ish) trip

    Your number is very good, even going 50mph on a slightly downhill route I get about 4.6miles/kWh. If the return is "uphill" expect quite a bit less than 5.3
