I have owned both Gen1 and Gen 2 models of the ZS EV before going for the S5. We bought the car right at the end of August, so the weather was pretty mild ( ish ). I did find back then, that the S5 appeared to be wanting charging less frequently than our previous ZS EV Gen2 did. Of course now...

It s the typical cut and paste answer to almost all of the enquiries. A very quick proof read of the query, then bang out a reply without even double checking if the response, goes anyway To answer the customers question 🤷🏻. If you can’t answer a simple question like this correctly, what chance...

As a low milage user case and an almost new pack, then I would not expect to see any battery degradation this early in its life. Even when only charging to 100% twice a year, but this could change as time moves on of course . I have said this before I know sorry, but if your car is either a...

I have to say, that I do find MG’s advice on charging and balancing for NMC type battery chemistry, a little bit contradicting myself ?. On one hand they tell you to carry out a balance cycle about every month, right okay. Then go on to recommend that charging to 80% SOC for your “every day”...

Pete - If you charge from home and have a home energy monitor, you can witness the activity on the screen. When the car starts charging, it will display about 7 kw’s. As the car reaches around 95% charged, this will drop back to 3.5 kws and then at around 98-98% it will drop again to 900 ish...

That SOH does sound a little low. Do you have the standard range or the long range version ?. What is your predicted range after a charge to 80% and both trips reset, if you don’t mind sharing ?. I am just curious that’s all 🤨.

Given the distance, it is likely that parts are not shipped by demand daily either tbh. If the parts are coming from China then they maybe sending only once a week, once every two weeks or even once a month !. There is likely to be a “cut off point” also, if you just missed the “cut off” then...

I watched EVM’s video a couple of hours ago and then went through some of the comments, left below the review by viewers. Of course like most things in life, there was some positive and some negative comments. But what caught my attention is when somebody had remarked in the comments, that the...

Just ensure that you are fully latching the drivers door closed, then ideally fit your seat belt, then depress the foot brake fully, before you even touch the gear selector switch to select drive. If you turn the gear selector wheel even a split second before you have followed the previous steps...

You only require a small capacity booster for a EV tbh. But if you have a second car or friends & family members, that have ICE powered cars, you may consider it a good idea to chose a booster that can help others 👍.

This is normal for MG at least. It’s a long winded process. They have to be authorised by MG CS to carry out their investigations, or they run the risk of not getting paid for the time. If they need help in diagnosing the issue, they have to raise a ticket and then upload there findings of the...

Common pattern forming here me thinks 🤷🏻. Sounds like they have had a bad batch of faulty T boxes to me !. Which does confirm that even new cars can have parts failures then 😭.

Update :- Used the car today for only a short journey, but I noticed that when entering a 60 and 70 Mph zones the correct speed limit ⭕️ numbers have returned and the three vertical dashes have gone. I followed your top tip and just started up the never used Sat Nav unit 👍. Thanks 🙏.

It’s standard practice for a good painter tbh. It’s a small area of damage, but to blend the colour into the qtr and make the repair impossible to spot, it’s a job that takes a bit of time and skill to get 100% correct. It’s a metallic finish, which just makes colour matching a bit more difficult.

Ouch !. Doing that would make me feel sick 🤢. It’s the rear wheel arch, which means the colour will have to be blended into the rear quarter panel of course.
