Can you change from C° to F° on the display of ZS EV? It would make me happy!

Never thought about it so I've no idea.

Btw, it's "Celsius". Apparently, Centigrade is an Americanism.

when I was at school - a long time ago - it was Fahrenheit or Centigrade. No mention ever of Celsius!

Agree, it then morphed into Celsius over time.
The change in elementary-school textbooks began to take place around 1968, and during the 1970s, as districts began to replace their former textbooks. In the meantime, parents, scientists, and college professors continued to use the name they had grown up with. Only students born in the 1970s and later would have grown up calling the scale “Celsius.” (I continue to catch myself saying “centigrade” to my own students.)
In England, the BBC Weather did not begin using the term Celsius until 1985, and the word centigrade continues to to be commonly used in England, according to some sources.

I certainly can't see anything in the handbook.
On the MG5, it switches to °F on the dash display if you do a factory reset but this is a one way process.

You could always multiply by 1.8 and add 32. It'll give you something to do whilst driving along on autopilot.Wow a can of worms!
