I was saving up my pennies for an E-motion until MG dropped it like a hot potato. Meanwhile Neta have just launched their 4 seater coupe ($26-33k estimated) at the Shanghai motor show. I wonder if it will ever arrive here.

Update on this - At the weekend, the front and rear deflectors (former attached with 3m tape, latter with original sticky stuff) on the sunny side of the car both came off as I was driving across the the country. I'll be taking the other two off this weekend and not replacing them :(

Does anyone want to share their experience getting a home charger installed? Who installed it? What kind of charger? Were you happy with the service? The product? I'm thinking (again) about getting one, but there does seem to a worrying diversity in the quality of the service provided.

I've got a 2021 (pre-facelift) ZS EV and have noticed a couple of oddities with the trip computer. According to the manual, the button on the end of the indicator stalk is supposed to change modes on the trip computer (rectangular LCD between the dials). It does nothing on my car. I found an...

Clearly Citroen think there's a market for a short range electric car. Unfortunately we in the UK have now divorced from the EU homologation rules which means that manufactirers have an additional hurdle beyond moving the steering wheel to the other side of the car. But I notice that SAIC are...

Was planning on getting a home charger when I got my car....turned out to be a lot more complicated then I thought. So I've not yet got this done. I've got a couple of free rapid chargers within 5 miles that are usually available in the evening. Now I'm wondering if its worth the bother at all...

Damn, I was feeling that I was better off getting the pre-facelift car, despite the increased range / better seats but you have gone and shattered my delusion!

I've never seen seen these on any car in the UK (but they seemed popular when I lived in the US - presumably they add some value). I suspect you'd get nearly as much protection but without the mileage and beauty penalties by getting a clear vinyl wrap on the relevant parts of the car - and the...

Got some wind deflectors a month ago, thought I'd share the experience.... Really I was looking for "rain" deflectors rather with wind deflectors. Living in the west of Scotland, we get a lot of rain and only having had my ZS for 5 months I'd still getting over the whole range anxiety thing /...

A 3kW charger will draw up to 13 Amps. Using a 10 Amp cable is dangerous.

You might want to take it to an independent vehicle engineering specialist - if what you have descriebed here is accurate then there is a fault with your car. MG aren't easily going to admit any liability. Speak to your insurance company too.

Since you are in Edinburgh, I suggest signing up with Charge Place Scotland, but do see the thread I am currently updating regarding their truly abysmal app. Order a card as soon as you can.

Yes - that's what I described as "re-centre" button in my original post. And no it does not do that in the CPS app.

For anyone who has persisted in reading the thread this far....double clicking on the map in the app zooms in a bit more reliably than the usual to touch spread motion. (update: currently the car is plugged in at a "rapid" charger and getting aroung around 7kw.

My daughter borrowed car last night - promised to plug it in somewhere and charge it - but both the charging bays at her destination had cars parked in them - plugged in but not charging. Today I was down to my last 20 miles of range - and having MAJOR range anxiety. Really; the last time I was...
