Just for the record on your range reading I have now covered a little over 1000 miles in my ZS EV and home charges via the 7kw charger when fully charged have tended to show a range of around 137 in Normal mode and 154 in Eco. I note the comment about the difference in driving at 60mph and...

I had a Pod-Point fitted courtesy of MG as one of the first 1000 ZS EV customers and it works fine. However if I had to have it done again I would have opted for the separate cable rather than tethered one as this could have come in handy for charging at the free-to-use 7kw charges which are...

I read that the Scottish government are to upgrade the main A9 road linking Edinburgh to Inverness making it an electric highway so there are sufficient charge points for motorists on the move. A few years ago when I first considered an EV I was amazed that major service stations such as...

I have been using my new ZS EV for around three weeks now and have covered more than 850 miles - most trouble free, some not. For the most part I have charged at home via the 7kw Pod-Point charger provided courtesy of MG Cars but due to distance travelling between two regular locations some 112...

I had the 7kw Pod-Point installed at home FOC courtesy of MG. I just used the 'Granny Charger' to check it worked prior to leaving on the car's first 'test run.' I agree about ambulances etc but we have been on roads before where diversions have taken us off the chosen route and that's what we...

Not had any experience of mine working either despite it showing as selected as being on settings and tbh don't know whether it's an alert to warn pedestrians you are there or to warn the driver of pedestrians in which case it would surely 'bong' if you pull up to a wall so I assume the former...

The majority of my MG ZS EV motoring will be covered by home charging but as we are heading to visit relatives in Scotland shortly I am confused by the myriad number of alternative Rapid Charges available at motorway services and other charge points we will call upon during the 345-mile journey...

Just to close this thread I should mention that I have had my ZS EV for around 10 days now and all the issues were dealt with efficiently and the car was presented in a perfect condition I was satisfied with.

I had issues with starting the car due to ambiguous info and returned to the dealer to clarify the conflicting misinformation. Fortunately the guy was pretty clued up and sorted things out for me. Whilst I was there I questioned him on the 'deferred or delay charging' which he was totally...

I've been running my ZS EV for around 10 days now and have successfully completed 3 home 7kwh overnight charges and tried out the 13amp 'Granny Charger' ahead of my regular run to the southern Lake District a distance of some 110 miles via motorways or 86 miles up hill and down dale through the...

As an update to anyone who may have followed this thread and experienced similar problems I am posting to advise that having followed Young EV‘s suggestion I opted for a ‘portable’ wi-fi charger from EE purchased from Curry PC World for £48 which includes 9GB of data valid for three months...

Many thanks for the update Mike - as I was contacted by Pod-Point who had been forwarded my details from MG as their 'preferred partner' under the complimentary installation as one of the first 1,000 ZS EV customers - I feel obliged to go with them and am due to have the charger installed next...

I entirely agree about dealers. I am new to EVs but not the MG brand and with many loyal MG followers looking at switching over to EV because the ZS is both electric AND an MG I feel most dealers are not really clued up enough on their own product. This may be down to insufficient training and...

Re Mike's answer to Marmaduke isn't it given that all charges offer timed or deferred charges then? I am about to have the Pod-Point charger installed as MG Cars' preferred partners for the first 1000 customers and recall in a conversation with someone at the company saying that they were...

Just an update on the PDI thread. Having spoken to the dealers they inform me that the car is going into their specialist bodyshop for the paint defects to be rectified and MG Cars are arranging for new roof rails to be delivered which the dealer will fit. I am told this involves taking out the...

I aren't making direct comparisons with a Tesla it was just a passing comment. I appreciate that we are in a price/performance/distance equation about what you get for your money. I think MG have a fantastic opportunity to open up the market for the masses with the most reasonably priced family...

Like many on this site I have been eagerly awaiting the delivery of my MG ZS EV. I am not particularly a big social media user but have found this forum useful and hope my comments and reflections have proved equally beneficial to others. As one of the initial 1000 MG customers I was delighted...

It's ok saying that Mike but new-to-electric-car users shouldn't have to adapt driving style too much as a compromise on manufacturer's quoted figures and avoid 'normal' driving and I get passed by plenty of Tesla drivers at way above legal limit speeds. When I tested the MG ZS EV joining a...

Many thanks for the continued feedback. Yes, I have thought about switching suppliers and am aware of both Octopus and Bulb. My circumstances are similar to Stuart's and so swapping to a much cheaper night tariff at the expense of increasing the daily rate when most energy is consumed may be...

Thank you for your initial thoughts guys. Unfortunately running a cable between the two properties is out of the question as it crosses a neighbour's property or would have to run up a public highways road. I popped into my local Virgin store earlier today and was informed a robust booster...
