Could this be a battery equalisation/balancing problem? Failure to rebalance the battery meant that my Mark 1 model lost some range, which I got back by equalising more frequently (I now have a LR and have never been below 250 miles at 100% in 7 months; last night before todays trip I got up...

I think they may be chargeable unless they are done as part of a service plan. I mentioned in an earlier reply a prior reference to long/cold weather range. Here is that link. It refers to an ZS EV SR but some of the ideas still apply...

A dealer should be able to establish this. I’m not sure how you can check it yourself. From things that I have read, battery degradation at your stage of ownership is either because the BMS needs updating or it hasn’t been balanced properly (ie charged to 100% and left to go off on its own...

Range depends on quite a few factors, speed and use of the AC to name but two. When I had a Gen1 model it did not have the new BMS update which reduced estimated mileage to 163, so the estimated range was around 178 in mild to good weather and down to around 155 in poor weather. One very...

Great! Perseverance paid off!

I do remember having to try several times to bind mine for some reason and I understood from some others that it wasn’t unusual to have to do that. There are quite a few videos on binding the MG ZS EV on YouTube, in case that helps to clarify the steps.

Ps. I just noticed MG also asked for the VIN number.

Tom’s Man Shed did a video on this problem “steamy windows in the mg as ev”. I bought the same bags as he advertised and they do work. I also fixed Autoclover wind deflectors which are available from Amazon. This enables the windows to be open slightly without getting a cold breeze or rain...

You can also contact MG HQ and they can unbind the former owner to allow you to set yourself up. I had to do this when I got mine. Ps. I wrote to [email protected]. I had to include a copy of the V5C registration document to show the car and me as the registered keeper. They did it...

i just checked mine. I had a first service only a few days ago and the software version is the same as the one in Susanna’s picture.

Mine is white and I get the same thing .. I got some car spay cleaner from Amazon and microfibre cloth and leave both along with a bottle of tap water in the boot for emergencies when I need it to look good and without dead insects all over the front. And for the occasional bird dropping’s …

I use a 13A plug in my garage. The plug is on a separate supply to the mains. The cable is long enough to reach the car and charges at the rate of about 2kw, or roughly 8 miles per hour. I have used it on Gen1 (Exclusive) and Gen 2 |(SR) and has always worked fine. If you have a connector...

I occasionally find that that app freezes, so I only see the front screen and cannot get beyond it. This is remedied by turning my phone off and on

A week ago I tested the shaving foam way of demisting the windscreen and found that it really does work. I applied it using a paper towel and then wiped clean, using a micro fibre cloth after starting off with a paper towel. It takes about 5 mins and a bit of effort. In morning temperatures...

I have the ZS EV but have also experienced this and the issue might be the same. In the ZS EV there is a Forward Collision System that uses the front camera to detect if it thinks you're about to hit something. It can be pretty aggressive - at one point I skidded to a halt unnecessarily since I...
