I have done about 3-4 balancing charges since owning the car in the last 6 months. I have recently charged to 100% as suggested and did another reading and the latest SOH is 96.5%, so another marginal drop within 30 miles of last checking. To be honest I would have been surprised if SOH went...

Thanks will try again when charged as the battery is at 26% SOC at the moment. If it does vary after charging then it seems to strange or maybe another characteristic of the LFP battery on the SR where readings are all over the place. But the common view of LFP is that they are supposed to...

Thanks. So I just did a quick check and my 22 Plate with 2600miles on it has an SOH 96.52% which is not good for a car with so low mileage. It has never had DC charging and only 7kw charges or granny charges. Is this reading reliable? In which case I am likely to have an issue with the car with...

Hi I've tried to use the search function and despite seeing a few threads about people sharing their SOH data, I cannot seem to find the app that can be used to check the SOH? I already have the OBD2 adapter. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm seeing a major drop in my range in my...

I'm seeing average 2.6 miles/kw on the display of my ZS EV SR, but in reality I'm only getting around 90 miles of range and the battery is down form 100% to around 20% after 70 miles and I have to charge again before I get range anxiety. That's a 50% drop. I'm hoping once this extreme weather is...

yea solar and battery install booked in for Jan. I'm not sure during this time of the year , if there will be much surplus which will first go to the home battery anyway before the car. So I'm not expecting much from that and will again have to play with the settings in the zappi when we start...

Thanks, that was going to be my next question if the car was set to scheduled charging then it would be a hassle if I was charging it elsewhere!! Great, I will play around with the Zappi settings and give it a test.

I'm have a zappi installed at home and will be moving to the Octopus Go tariff soon. Do I set the scheduled charging in the car or the zappi or both to make it charge in the cheaper rate period? Which of the car or the zappi should be the 'master' in terms of controlling the scheduled charging...

What's frustrating for me with this anomaly is that I can only reliably use the first 50-60% of the battery or about 110-120miles. After that, the battery drops at such a rapid rate that I don't have any idea when it'll be down to such a low level to be at risk not getting home. Just to share...

Thanks, it's clear now but cannot understand why they've not been able to engineer it so that the battery reading is more linear or reliable. It is frustrating how once below 40%, the range and battery drops at a rapid rate making it hard to plan longer journeys (I'm mainly using it for in...

Hi Luke, interesting you are pretty much having the exact same issues as me. It's not serious enough to warrant a return to MG and might just have to wait until next service - I use the car daily and can't let them have it for a week or so to 'check'. Typically the dealer will probably say...

Hi, would you mind elaborating on this as I am not really technically minded enough to understand about the voltage curve and what it does? In layman terms, are you suggesting it is normal for the SR? Thanks!

Hi all, just want to share a few strange things happening recently and if anyone has had similar experience - MG ZS Mk2 SR, current odometer reading 1800miles: 1) Recently I've been seeing around 110 miles travelled with still 45% left in battery. Really chuffed and thinking that gives me...

Sorry if I'm going a bit off topic, if the charging only starts upon locking the car, if I wanted to sit in the car whilst it's charging then I can still do that but need to lock the door I suppose ? Could I leave the window open and lock the doors or will it not let me?

Hi All, Due to a change in personal circumstances, I am no longer needing the ZS EV that I purchased brand new pre-registered (so I am technically the second owner but it was delivered to me brand new with 50 miles on the clock). It was registered on 31 May 2022 and then transferred to me on...
