    MG ZS newbie- hit and miss- is it me?

    I'm guessing you mean 2.7 and 2.9 bar. That's more or less spot on - they are supposed to be at 2.8 bar (41 psi) when cold. I suspect the major contributor to your range is the 30mph average speed. Even in Wales, that's low for all but very local journeys. And we have hills, in a way Berkshire...

    MG ZS newbie- hit and miss- is it me?

    Although I share your doubt about achieving 326 miles, I must admit to have been pleasantly surprised by the GOM's accuracy on our Trophy LR. Better than the Mk I, but perhaps that's because the extra range lets variations be smoothed out. On at least one occasion when 316 was reported on our...

    MG ZS newbie- hit and miss- is it me?

    We're on our second ZSEV - traded the Mk I in for a Trophy LR to get the extra range. Happy with both of them. Took the Mk I to the Dordogne and the Mk II has been to Cognac. Have you driven an EV before? If not there are a few things to remember for good range. Pump your tyres up. If they are...

    Problem using the Speed Limiter

    @gus - Thanks. I had a feeling that was the case. Blast.. @Gadget Geek - You're right obviously. But it's not quite the same functionality and I have to admit to a certain reluctance to using ACC in urban traffic. There's no chance my wife will! There's not been a problem, but there've been a...

    Problem using the Speed Limiter

    Hi all, I have a 2022 ZSEV Trophy LR I have never used the Speed Limiter. However a run-in with a gentleman in uniform carrying a speed gun and the introduction of the widespread 20mph limit here in Wales has caused me to investigate. So, I enabled the Speed Limiter in the menu system, then...

    Low voltage battery discharging

    As the OP, I thought I'd update my situation. As I said upthread, I took the car to our dealers, but they couldn't find anything wrong. That was a Wednesday. On the Friday, we had a 12V battery warning again. So I took it to the dealer again, as we were off on holiday on the Saturday. The...

    12v battery and Noco booster

    I'd echo this. We had our ZS Trophy LR "die" three days after we arrived on holiday in North Devon ten days ago. Keyless entry was dead, so we had to use the emergency key, to gain entry, then a booster pack to start the car. There was no problem visible on the dash, but because I had spotted...

    Low voltage battery discharging

    Thanks for that. I'd missed seeing that in the thread - I thought it was about connecting to Android Auto via Bluetooth... I've ordered a BM2 from the Great River in the Clouds. (Other South American rivers are available..)

    Low voltage battery discharging

    I don't know. I know he didn't do a "drop test", which he mentioned, but which I don't know much about. I think he said 12.6V, but to be honest he gabbled it all out with the message all is well, and seemed a bit surprised when I questioned that. How would you suggest I kept an eye on it to...

    Low voltage battery discharging

    Thanks everyone for all the effort and info. It does seem my LV battery is discharging quickly. I took it to the dealer today, to no avail. They checked the battery voltage, which was 12.6V at the time, took it for a drive round the block and said the charging voltage was fine, so all was OK...

    Low voltage battery discharging

    Thanks. That's interesting. By "overnight Saturday", do you mean Friday Night/Saturday morning or Saturday night/Sunday morning? I've paid little attention to the app voltage before now as the car has been fine. It's receiving the error messages (now gone for the time being) that has worried...

    Low voltage battery discharging

    Thanks for everyone's input. I'm worrying that the 12V battery is failing, obviously. But I've also realised that teh different ways of measuring teh voltage are all measuring something different. In Ready mode, the HV battery is charging the LV, and something is supplying current for the car...

    Low voltage battery discharging

    Is the battery only covered for a year, then? I didn't know that. That's what it feels like to me. Fortunately I have a service booked before the12 month date, but I'll phone them on Monday anyway. We're going away in a week... In further funniness, after I posted above, my wife went and put...

    Low voltage battery discharging

    Car is a ZS Trophy LR, just under a year old. We have started seeing messages that the "Low voltage battery needs charging, do not leave car more than 3 days unused." Or words to that effect. Yesterday evening we parked up with the battery registering 13.8V. Later in the evening it was down to...

    Battery equalisation on ZSEV Trophy LR

    OP here. I tried to post this reply a few days back, but it's not appeared. Ah well. Sorry I haven't posted earlier. Life has been all over the place lately. I have now had the opportunity to charge from a low state to 100% a few times. Normal pattern is to charge to 80% at home, and only...

    Battery equalisation on ZSEV Trophy LR

    Could you do a slightly less quick version that explains how to do that, please? :-)

    Battery equalisation on ZSEV Trophy LR

    Well, not in the sense of mistaking 1.5-2 hours for 3-4! We kept a close eye on when the car finished charging and of course could see when it was balancing. I can't comment on the pre and post BMS issue, except to say that if I'd suddenly seen 3-4 hour times, I'd have been down the dealers in...

    Battery equalisation on ZSEV Trophy LR

    That's when the Mk I warning came on, as best could be judged. Did it do an equalisation charge afterward? I suppose the Christmas festivities may have taken precedence over monitoring EV behaviour, even if you charged on an AC charger! P.S. My wife has reminded me that when the car reaches...

    Battery equalisation on ZSEV Trophy LR

    Thanks everyone for the input, but I must admit to a lack of certainty as to whether people are telling me what they think will happen, or have actually balanced/equalised a Mk II LR. Incidentally, my MK I never took anything like 3-4 hours to balance, before or after the BMS upgrade. I didn't...
