UPDATE I booked my MG ZS EV first generation, Exclusive, to be checked at an MG dealer in Edinburgh (Peter Vardy MG) as the range I was getting was too low (about 75 miles). They had run some checks and this is the response I received from them: “Checked SIPs and found calibration and...

Thanks very much! From your experience, are the BMS updates free or they are carried out as part of the annual service?

thanks, sorry for being totally ignorant but what is econ please?

That is amazing. How do you check your SOH please?

Thanks for the advice. I am not sure if the battery is balanced, As I have only had the car for less than a month. How do I check if I have the latest BMS, please? Mine shows 155 miles and gives my 70 miles, so about 50% error in the estimation.

I now do just a few miles a day, all within the city. I would say 3 mile/day average. I last charged the car on 2 January to 100% and it was showing 159 miles in Eco mode. I have driven 51 miles since then within the city, with no motorways, and the mileage shows 35 miles on Eco mode!

Thanks and sorry for my late reply. I hadn't realised I had received so many replies :). I have charged the car 4 times so far, 3 were rapid charges and one was 7 kW charging station. Last charging was on 2 January. The car was 100% charged and it was showing 159 miles in Eco mode. I have...

Hi I know it is 2024, nearly 3.5 years after this original post, but I was wondering if Genni could give me an update on what happened at the end, please? I recently bought a used MG ZS EV and I am experiencing the same issue. It is still under Warranty and has about 5k miles on the clock...

Thanks, I wanted to hear from people who are using the car in this weather. I have read these articles and these made me buy the car, but what I am getting is miles off from what is being said in those articles.

Miles covered for real.

Hi I have recently bought an MG ZS EV Exclusive (Reg Sep 2020). I like the car but I am surprised how low the actual range is. In this mildly cold weather, I can barely get 70 miles on the Motorway, before it needs to be charged. In the city, the range is totally unreliable, one minute shows...
