    ZS EV (2020) heating issue

    I'll have to take a look at that. I was going to say it's just the heat setting that's affected.... but now you come to mention it, I wonder about the fan speed. Will report back.

    ZS EV (2020) heating issue

    Ah ok, thanks. I suspect that's the culprit then. Have a few niggles with the car - phone call to MG tomorrow to get it booked in.

    ZS EV (2020) heating issue

    I think we have an issue with the heating in our 2020 ZS EV. It appears that the heating is either on or off. When we get in the car on a cold morning, we put the heating on. When it gets warm enough, we turn the heat down. The heat control has 'blobs' on the infotainment screen that run...

    Rattling centre arm rest

    Has anyone had to deal with a rattling front centre armrest? The one in our ZS has a really annoying rattle from anything above about 20mph. The resolution is to just touch it or rest your arm on it. This is not ideal though. I think the problem is lateral play in the hinge rather than the...

    Slow rapid charging on multiple chargers

    Thanks for this I think it may have been the temperature. It wasn't that chilly last night but probably below 10 C. I've been looking on other forums and found a post where someone has the same problem as me. Like me, their other experiences were with a Leaf. Looks like the MG battery may be...

    Slow rapid charging on multiple chargers

    Hi all, This weekend, I took my 2020 ZS EV to the Fully Charged Show. This is a 240 mile each way trip for me so I was using rapid chargers. On the way back home yesterday, I charged at a 150kW Instavolt charger at Banbury, a 120kW GridServer charger at Norton Cane services on the M6 toll...

    Holdcroft Cheshire Oaks - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Great to hear of an experience much better than my own. Maybe they've seen some of the comments made here and decided to start taking people's money!

    Holdcroft Cheshire Oaks - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    @Stuart Wright, can you add Gallaghers of Sandycroft to this forum? I think it's missing. https://www.facebook.com/gallagherssandycroft/ https://www.gallaghers-cars.co.uk/

    Holdcroft Cheshire Oaks - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Similar to my experiences then. I take my ZS to Gallaghers at Sandycroft now. It's only a small place but the service is great and they get back to you! I assume that Holdcroft make enough money already from Honda so don't want MG EV business 😜

    Smart Charger Dumb Car

    I don't want to hijack this thread but I have a related question. I have a ZS EV and a SyncEV charge point. When I schedule charging with the SyncEV, I have the option of 'pulse charging' or 'charging at minimum power' (1.5kW). If I use pulse charging, the car does not start charging at the...

    Holdcroft Cheshire Oaks - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Does anyone have any experience of Holdcroft Cheshire Oaks? I've been trying to book my ZS EV in for a service Over a couple of days I've called and either been put through to sales or 'the guys are busy at the moment'. The last time I called, a sales guy took my name and number for a call...

    Range and things!!

    I have same question as OP regarding range. I've bought an 11 month old ZS EV with 1000 miles on. I've done around 250 miles and averaged 3.5 m/kWh. Will a BMS update increase the voltage when full from 449 to 456 and therefore increase range? We have a 270 mile each way journey coming up so...

    Servicing schedule

    Thanks very much for this. Just what I needed to know.

    Servicing schedule

    I have the same question as the OP. I'd assumed that dealerships etc have just not caught up with EV technology and will, as standard, state an annual service as a minimum. Agree that the screenshot just lists consumables/hardware for each service. If an annual 'service' is required - even if...

    Global tint

    Whilst I understand that the ZS comes with no tint on the front windows, does that imply that they let through 100% of light? Even with no tint, if they block a small amount of light then a 70% tint would technically be illegal. Does Global Tint measure the light transmission either before or...
