    Miles/ kWh - Winter

    So preheating at 24C did seem to make some difference to the m/kWh. Got an average of 2.9 over my 11.9 mile journey, however I lost 5 miles of range doing the preheat so not sure overall that it is worth it, unless the preheat is done whilst charging.

    Miles/ kWh - Winter

    Actually that is something I have noticed in the ZS - the estimated range doesn't change if you switch the heater off. Only when switching between Normal and Eco does it update. In the Kona, I could reduce the temperature by 1 degree and the range would instantly go up by 2 or 3 miles. Let's see...

    Miles/ kWh - Winter

    No, ≈10% to 80% x4 and actually I have also charged at home once (≈5% - ≈35%) in addition to that as I realised I didn't have enough to make it to the charger the following day. Just turned on my heater remotely and the remaining miles has dropped from 77 to 73

    OK, next time I will try to preheat to 24 and see if that makes a difference.

    Miles/ kWh - Winter

    Just realised, I have only driven 407 miles since getting the car and have charged it 4 times already.

    Surely it would use more on preheat as there is no regen going on. It is only using energy.

    I do preheat, but to 20 not 24 then switch down to 18 when I start the car. I haven't done any journeys longer than 12 miles. I am driving to London from Sussex on Sunday, so will be interesting to see what I get then.

    Miles/ kWh - Winter

    Interesting. I have only had my ZS EV LR for 10 days and the average is 2.2, which has really disappointed me. I am not doing any fast driving - so far it's all in 30, 40 and 50 zones. In my Hyundai Kona I was getting an average of 3.8 in winter. I have the temperature set to 18C and always...

    New MG ZS EV Trophy...it's bad

    OK - well that's more the fault of the company I leased it from as they didn't specify that it isn't the version advertised on the MG website. I guess that means I won't get the traffic updates either. One of the main reasons I went for the Trophy was for the Traffic updates. I know I can use...

    New MG ZS EV Trophy...it's bad

    It does indeed have a sunroof. So despite it being a 72 reg, and being told it was the latest model - it's not actually so.

    New MG ZS EV Trophy...it's bad

    Thought I'd add my so-far brief experience with the ZS here, rather than create a new thread. I got mine (Long Range Trophy) a few days ago and haven't yet done any long journeys, only a few local runs - max 10 miles. So far I have had similar experience to many here I think. In general, I...
