Just fancied an EV and not spewing out health harming tailpipe pollution ie the stuff other than C02. Wasn't really based on cost. On my first EV a ZSEV over a 3 year PCP, 72 plate, the cost of ownership : deposit, monthlys, insurance, servicing and charging ( mainly home) was more than an ICE...

As long as it tells me when I am actually over, I'm fine with the odd occasion it tells me I am over when I am not ( eg reading turn off road speed limits). I just ignore those .The only ones I have set to turn off on the custom MG Pilot setting are the not paying attention ones or you are tired...

Get it wrong and it will be like SnowPiercer.

I've left the warnings on. I like to be warned I'm over so I don't go over.

Note. If you prefer full 1 pedal driving rather than one of the regen settings then it stays set. No need to do it each time. In my case however the missus does not like it so I switch it on and off when leaving or arriving home.

How do you activate TJA. Traffic Jam Assist. On the ZSEV now gone back at end of PCP, (so just got the S5 last Friday [Halloween!]) it just came on when in the adaptive cruise control MG pilot setting with the LKA, at lower speeds eg 20 mph. Does it do the same on the S5 or do you have to...

Granny chargers are very useful though when staying at someone's house to charge or some holiday accommodation that lets you plug into an outside 3 pin plug socket. Paying for what you use of course.

There will never be OTA updates.

I've been getting heavier recently.

Surely it will burn down through all the EVs catching fire or at the very least be uninsurable.

I used (just sent ZS back at end of PCP - awaiting S5) this. https://amzn.eu/d/eNlnyhL Slighly oversized so does cover some of the boot sides.

I'd say not.

True. However I wear extra layers in winter anyway, irrespective of if I am driving. I pretty much drove mostly at 60 to 65 in my previous ICE anyway, often the motorway speed in the outside lane was no higher. Regarding heating or cooling. I will turn it on until the temp is comfortable. Once...

Look back though the ZS EV threads. Cant remember which thread but somebody worked it out, although the solution did involve some complicated one offs.

Nevertheless Frunk just sounds the better word.
