Thanks for your replies and suggestions. As I said, the problem has not been charging at home, although it seems it would not be wise to charge to 100% on a regular basis. The problem for us has been the unexpected - out for the day and unexpectedly called to go somewhere else, or forced to...

Sadly, we have decided to sell our ZS Trophy Long Range that we bought new in June this year. Mostly happy with the car itself, but the issue for us has proved to be charging away from home. Most of the time we have been charging at home without any problem and if we were able to do that all...

Thanks very much, I'll give that a go.

Thanks for your reply. Where do I find the system software version?

I read a post that said there was a software update that made it possible stop a charge by unlocking the car and then unplugging the charge lead, rather than needing to stop it via the app or control panel. My car, delivered in June this year, doesn't do this, which suggests I don't have the...

We got a silver one as well due to a cancelled order in June, had ordered a red one in March, but seems pretty clear we'd probably still be waiting for that. Overall very pleased with the car. A few minor quibbles, not faults as such, more along the lines of "why would they do it like that"...

The situation with the stated range achievable by EVs is no different really from the stated MPG with petrol or diesel cars. If the brochure for your ICE car says 60MPG, you know for sure that you will never see this unless travelling downhill with a following wind. Similarly, if the EV...

Thanks, happy to stick with the granny charger.

Update to my earlier post, when one part of the app said it was charging and another screen said not. Just stopped the charge from the car, unplugged and reinstalled the charger and restarted, did the same with the app and all now seems ok. Just a glitch. If, like me, you e spent many years...

Just had a quick look, can’t immediately see any difference. I plugged the car in with the granny charger earlier this morning and it seems to be charging, according to the indicator on the grille, and the initial screen on the app. When I click on that screen however to get more detail, e.g...

Ordered our LR Trophy in red at the end of March and were told then to expect to wait 6 or 7 months. From reading this forum I was expecting that to be optimistic. However, we got a call from the dealer in June to say that they had a cancelled order, in silver but otherwise the same spec, that...

As above, our drive is steep, but you will soon get used to easing the accelerator just enough to release the parking brake. Thing that annoys me is if you have to stop at the bottom of the drive, the brake enagages again and you have to repeat the process, but not a great problem.

Winter tyres will be readily available for the tyre size fitted to the ZS. Early summer isn't the best time for getting a good range of winter tyres (even here in Scotland!) but a quick look shows premium makes at around £150/160 per tyre. Not sure how that translates to the prices you would...

It was.

Excellent, that has to be a good deal. You're getting a car that is as good as brand new, minus the indefinite wait for delivery, with the bonus of 3K in your pocket. What's not to like?
