I did think about it earlier this year when the first wall charger failed. Wiring up seemed simple, until,I realised that there was an extra sensor wire going back from the wall charger to the house unit. Not being qualified, and I do like to have someone to blame, I used a professional to...

My 2020 ZS EV, Mk1, has 47,000 mikes on the clock, and has never missed a beat. Great car... You only hear the worst examples here. As long as the 7 year warranty is intact, go for it...:)

2020 MG ZS Mk1. Just had my 5th annual service and MOT. Passed with flying colours. A bit of corrosion underneath, brakes all good, though worn a bit. Battery says 97%......much higher than I expected, and would not conform to the calculation above... The decision now is whether I keep the...

Thanks for that. I shall store their phone number. I have emailed them asking what I was doing wrong... I was able to make it to another rapid charger on the A470, with14 miles tp spare. Just wonder why the Tesla was able to charge, and not me. It is not the first time MFG have let me down....:(

I was down to about 50 miles re the GOM, so had to charge to get home. The Brecon MFG charger was the nearest charger, so I made my way to the Morrisons car park. Two MFG chargers on one stand, hooked up, and it went through the connection cycle, but ended up charge aborted. I tried again with...

A big thumbs up for Osprey, their modern chargers work so easily with a tap and pay. Gridserve is also one of my goto charger. I recently had trouble with Instavolt, but it worked once I downloaded the app. MFG seem to be pretty reliable, other than on one occasion a year or two ago.... AC...

Thanks for the info. Will look into that...:)

OK, It must be on the App I suppose. Thanks for that...:)

Yes, brain not in gear. Instavolt were the Power suppliers, not Ecotricity...

Thanks both, I will do that...:)

I had to charge up to return home from The Lake District to South Wales. Instavolt had a bank 6 chargers I think, in the local supermarket car park. I tried three times to complete a charge with credit card on the tap and pay. But each time the charge only lasted several minutes before...

My 2020 ZS EV is doing well. I have only noticed a little rust just below the charging plug. I have sprayed that with WD40, and that seems to have held it. Otherwise, the body, and mechanics are sound as far as I can see. Great car, range is the only limitation...

A grim story. My ZS has behaved so well over the past 4 1/2 years, but I am now a bit concerned about driving in heavy rain... Just a thought, would a car wash be able to damage these connectors. ???

Re battery health, my last service of 020 mk1 ZS EV battery check came up with 90%. After a full charge and balancing, my GOM says I have 144 miles in the tank..(!) If I remember correctly, when the car was new, the GOM told me I had 165 miles left. Thus. 144/165 equates to about 87% of the...

Chargers are not always reliable. Recently, at South Mimms service station on the M25, I had to try four chargers before I found one that worked. Sad to see that several had been vandalised...
