I had a bit of a talk with chatgpt because i could not really understand why the CCS chargers could display the cars SoC, when my charger at home was unable to. The reason i did not understand is, both the CCS and Type-2 chargers use the same data pins to communicate. It seems there are 2...

I dont know for sure, but if it tried to call a number i would guess your phone was connected to the Bluetooth ? What happens if you do the same, but disable bluetooth on your phone so that it can not actually call anyone. ?

Yeah no...This car was totalled, The repair cost was estimated to be about 125% of the price of a new one. :)

They were asking a LOT more than £350 to fix my chargeport back in 2022. :)

The ZS EV does not have any sensor on the charge flap door. If you leave a door cracked, the boot not fully closed or the bonnet released it will warn you, but you can drive with the charge flap open for hours without being warned about this. I have actually been comtemplating, trying to take...

Yes, we are unlikely to ever need it, we have the swasticar for longer trips, we are a family of 5 and the kids are 12 and up so the extra space compared to the ZS EV is nice, but yes, nice to know, if the need is there. I can do a readout with the eZS app if someone is interested in the...

Looks to me like the old 1.gen infotainment, the 2.gen looks different if this ebay listing is anything to go by. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316965089898?chn=ps&_ul=GB&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item White connector is usually FM/AM radio antenna.

Now i have... Just drove the 4 miles to the Tesla charger just to test it, felt it was important because if it would not, MG would have had to do it for free as the seller droned on about how they had, had the car on the computer all day, updating all the different modules before delivery...

No i really should try it sometime, but the thing is, my wife uses the car every day for work and it is always charged at home, so i rarely get a chance. I do have a Tesla supercharger about 4 miles from where i live so i could potentially go their in a weekend and since my own EV is actually a...

Ours is on R25 and wakes up, so i don't think the version of software in the infotainment system is what makes the car wake up and top up the battery. I confirmed this while we were on holiday, the ZS EV was stationary in the driveway and after about 6 days i could see the battery voltage was...

They do this "Go to deep sleep" because in the beginning (And of your car does not have recent software) it will only charge the 12V battery when the car is on and in READY state. Since the whole car infotainment and all other modules run off of the 12V battery it is shutting down to prevent...

1. Old thread 2. The user already mentioned the cable was exchanged 3. This was not an extension cord, but the actual Type 2 cable.

The control pins are used for both AC and DC charging, so if it's working on DC chargers, i would imagine it also working for AC charging.

Bloody annoying if MG actually made a 22KW OBC for this car, but did not even offer it as a paid extra option. Would be really nice to be able to do 22KW destination charging, this is the one thing i think is annoying about EV's of today, most only do 11KW. The ZS EV is my wifes car, i have a...

I wonder if these chargers work if you have the latest software update that include Tesla Charging. (Might be the same incompatibility, maybe more chargers have started using the "corners" of the CCS standard)
