Thank you for the info. Glad to know there is nothing wrong with the car or the battery.
If I had 3%, it would be enough for me to drive to the charger. Unfortunately, with 1%, it didn't even let me change to "R" and "D" gear. Lesson learned. Will avoid to having the battery lower than 20%...
@frb123 Thank you for sharing your experience. Your reply of confirming witness similar issure is very helpful. I am really appreciate all the information and explanation. I also read your previous threat finding it's very useful. This is my first EV. I am still learning its behaviour. As you...
I got about 84kw with a warm battery.
I can understand the range drop due to warious factors. After all, it's an estimation. But battery percentage? The car should know how much electrons are in the tank.
To be hoest, the ZS charge rate is pretty good even with a cold battery. Yesterday, AA tow me to the nearest rapid charger. The charge rate reached 75kW within a few seconds.
We normally have a coffee/lunch after arriving. Then charge on our way back (there are 300 kW chargers just 2miles away).
But after today's incident, we may need to change our routine.
Thank you for the explanation. I visit my son regularly. This has never happened before even during the winter time. Now the worry is how do we know the shown battery percentage is "Real"? Or is it alright to leave the car with 10% battery after a long journey?
Drove my ZS TLR 200miles to pick up my son. Arrived with 13% remaining. Went for a lunch. Came back the car after 3 hours, 1% left. Car was definitely locked. And nothing was on.
Eventually I had to call MG Assistant to get it to the nearest charger.
Did anybody have similar experience? I knew...
Thank you for the update. Glad to hear that you can charge your car now. I guess the wallbox is new to Octpus, so they still need to sort out some compatible issues. Hopefully, Octpus can solve your problem ASAP.
Hi Susanna, have you fixed the problem? I have a wallbox as well. It will be great if we can switch to intelligent, but the probelm makes me worry. Hope you sort it out.
I bought my MG ZS Trophy LR last year November. After the cold winter, I was expecting the efficiency to settle between 3.5 and 4. After all, the WLTP range is 273. It's a pleasant surprise to see it can achieve all those beutiful figures.
Had a return journey of 25 miles in and out Manchester including city drive and motorway. 5 mile/kwh is decent. Considering the size of the car, the efficiency is very impressive. Love my MG ZS.
