Many thanks all, just in our last top up before the final stint home. The car is leased and fully maintained so will be heading to the dealers for a new battery (or an explanation as to why not...) in the next few days. I'm 100% sold on the booster pack idea, at this stage is rather try that...

Thanks all, we're diverting to a town that has chargers, food AND a Halfords (in case). The jumper pack mentioned by all, anything specific I need to look for? They all mention petrol and diesel.... None mention EV...

Right, update, we're mobile once again. The AA guy jumped us, the 12v battery was completely dead. Nothing left on inside the car so no idea why? The car was previously stood for 18 days in August while we were away with no issues but can't do 7 days now? Been told not to stop till we need to...

Well, I'm typing this while sitting in the car park at an airport. Our few month old type 2 MG ZS EV was used to being us here in its first long distance run and it was fine, perfect in fact.... It's now 7 days later and we've just had to break out the emergency key to even unlock the door while...

Hi All, sorry for going silent, work caught up with me. Just as a bit of feedback on this. We left the car on a Pod Point charger doing a super slow charger for most of the day. For some reason it didn't go past 3.4kW at any point. Left it on top it read 100%, the growth time was just getting...

Ah that is perfect, that answers pretty much everything, if only MG could have told me that this morning. It's now my mission first thing. So, just to confirm, I can do this at Lidl, which is a Pod Point charger, it's not a case of it reaches 80% or 100% and then stops charging, it will keep...

Hi All, we’re very new to EVs and am looking for some advice, I’ve scoured the internet, even called MG themselves and, 24 hours later, and am no further forward. Firstly the car in question is a Mk2 ZS EV Trophy Long Range. It’s only done approx 2000 miles and was purchased in June 2023. All...

The car is 4 days old, the cable newer than that, so hopefully not..... I'll try again at a different charger and see if there's any improvement.

Essentially, off you're using the type 2 charger.... Your charging at the same rate as a granny charger. We plugged in and am hour later, had charged the 4 miles it took us to drive home. Type 2 is essentially the same charge rate as 3 pin plug. If you use DC (WITH THE CCS CHARGERS), you're...

We just got our MG ZS EV and bought a type 2 cable, after experiencing how slow it actually charges, is very much a "in case of emergency" rather than a day to day cable.
