Do you mean the I Smart App? Where is the SOH I cant see it there

I have a 2022 ZS EV The MG dealer says that at the 4 year old mark, the battery main battery coolant has to be replaced, irrespective of the mileage the vehicle has done ( it will be approx 40,000) Approx cost is $NZ 1,000 ( about 500 pounds) Does this sound right?

Warranty? Should last a lot longer

I reckon that using ACC increases the rate of battery use. I get lower kw/100km managing the accelerator myself

I have the ZS EV If the tyre pressures are even slightly low ( on one or multiple tyres).. they " thrum" I run at the recomended 41psi

My local dealer in New Zealand reckons they dont even know what software updates they are loading into the car I did say to them maybe they need to find out.. so that we know if the updates they installed actually do what they are meant to They couldnt grasp the concept..

Ill measure my mother in law and let you know

What is CCS?

I dont use the MG app to charge I set my home wallbox charger, I know it delivers approx 13% into the battery per hour

Go easy, he's a guy.. you know we are usually right

I got mine from wipertech

I had to replace my blades ( after 12 months) however as an interim measure to stop them shuddering I cleaned them periodically with Isopropyl Alchohol I replaced with silicone blades..

Correct, it does not..

Nothing is cheap in NZ. My brother has a Hyundai Santa Fe, a service is typically NZ $800 I had a Kona, avg service cost $600

I also had a steering column replaced under warranrty at approx 6500km My first service ( 2 yrs) was around NZ $450. and I thought this was too expensive. My second service ( at 4 yrs ) will be at least NZ$1400.. they have the replace the main battery coolant As soon as Im out of the 7 yr...
