Another Update..... Well I took the car out the other morning as it was 0c and ice on the car. Had a low charge (2 bar but no low battery warning). Around 35 miles on the range. Again, no warnings but power was capped at 60% when accelerating. Did a few tests from 30mph and foot flat to the...

Car is still with MG. They have done a few updates and they have asked for a technician to take it home over night to give it a longer test drive. If the update has worked I should get the car back tomorrow. Will update once I get it back. UPDATE After 3 days of back and forth with MG head...

Minor update. The car is in with MG in Milton Keynes. Had a call today to say they have gone through everything they can their end as there are no fault codes coming up. They are now in contact direct with MG China and going back and forth with checks as they say the car shouldn't be doing this...

7kw BP are 44p or 57p. Lovemyev shared the screen shot above from their latest email. Local tesco podpoint for me are 28p for the 7kw and 40p for the 22kw. Which is a bit annoying as not many cars can charge at 22kw so you end up paying for something you can't really use. Granted that would be...

Hi, the range isn't the concern. Had an EV for a while now so know what to expect in that regards. My concern is the sudden power drop off I'm getting, in the cold, as the battery depletes during a trip. It's an odd one to explain accurately and wish I had a GoPro or something to mount to the...

The MG is a 70 plate but our Zoe is a 16 plate so had that a bit over 6 years now 👍

I can see why if they are going to sit in the car anyway, not like they have left it for ages after the free bit. We do our main shop in Lidl now (unfortunately ours don't have any chargers) and then nip into Tesco to get any odds and ends that we couldn't get so only in there for 10-15min so...

I remember when we could fully charge our Zoe for that 😂 Back to the original post, I assume that the general agreement is that no one else has had the same issue with limited power in the sub zero temps. At least it seems to be an issue with my car then and something I can take up with MG when...

ha, I know. if I'm in for a "big shop" I just tend to start it after 10min or so. It does work very well on our Zoe as that can use the 22kw chargers to its full. My wife doesn't do that many miles so can actually a good top up, almost 6kw, that last a few days. Nearly a meal deal on our Zoe 😉

Cheers, that was my understanding. I don't often charge on the rapids. I tend to pop it on charge at the local Tesco for little top ups, the first 15min is still free before you need to start the charge ;-) But do try and fully charge the car at least once a month and with the cold it's been...

Hi, I did have a post a while back (March I think) and work got hectic so never got to the garage. It then got to the point where it was due a service in Sept so mentioned it then. They did all the updates so had hoped the issue had gone away. Granted that was the summer so the issue didn't...

Hi, If the car is fully charged then there is no drop off and all seems normal. However I did a round trip to Oxford (about 80ish miles) and did notice on the final bit of the trip the power was dropping off to 70%. That was just before christmas and I can't remember the temp but it was cold...

Hi, I'm just trying to work out if it's just me having some drop off in power availability with the gen 1 zs ev with this cold weather. This morning (-5c) I set off on the school run with 50+ miles on the range and 4 bar showing on the battery. All seemed ok. Then I noticed after a mile or 2...

I did look the other day and I paid £22k for my exclusive and the same age/mileage today still seem to be going 2nd hand for £24-25k! Have debated just trading it in for the newer LR version as the uplift in cost isn't massive. I'll give the dealership a chance to update the car before I go any...

Ah, might be why it got missed then at the last service. Will ask again as it'll be handy when on the public chargers and I want to sit in the car (or if I've forgotten something in the car and have to unlock it and restart the charge)
