It was the service unavailability (here) that did for my ZS in the end...oh, and the Tesla test drive :love: Yes, I've ended my brief 'love affair' with the MG brand: just short of three years and 25,000 miles with a Gen 1 ZS EV, and switched to a Model Y. It's been a great introduction to EV...

I had to call the AA on a late-night return trip between Wiltshire and London last week, as my 2020 Gen 1 wouldn't initiate a rapid charge and I had insufficient charge to get home. The engineer had no joy with the 12v/10mm spanner routine and, with two young kids in the car, he decided that a...

Ah. I don't watch videos. Prefer to read :)

It does mention the app. I thought the review was reasonably positive - an improvement on their review of the original (which was only three stars, versus the four of the new one). Interestingly, one thing I’ve seen no mention of so far - but which is revealed by looking more closely at the...

Right. I've just booked my first year service at the dealership with whom I took out the MG Service Plan. As I was finishing the booking, the service receptionist said, "Sir, I do have to make you aware that the technicians will be carrying out an emissions check, which will also involve...

I did. Couldn’t access the BP Pulse charger at the back of the forecourt, because the entrance was rammed with panic-buying ICE drivers. What part of ‘there is no fuel shortage’ do they not understand? 😳🤔 Fortunately there was Starbucks/GeniePoint combo nearby. And - amazingly - for the first...

Benefits, as I see them: the price is locked in, you pay on a monthly basis over the course of the plan and it's peace of mind that the servicing is going to be taken care of. I don't see any disadvantages. And it seems incredibly good value. The cost of my upcoming first, 12mth service is...

I've just received my service plan documents - a leaflet and a 'loyalty' card, carrying the service plan number, that I'm supposed to take with me when taking the car for its service. Although the card states the name of the dealer that I nominated while purchasing the service plan on the MG...

Is it only me, or does anyone else see the irony in using a fossil-fuelled generator to charge an electric car?:unsure::ROFLMAO:

Confused.com was universally more expensive (apart from some dodgy, unheard-of brand at a rock-bottom price - no thanks), including for the same level of cover from LV. I've gone with the CTM deal - it's £100 less than I paid last year, anyway, and obviously a lot less than LV tried to fleece...

Eden MG in Swindon. I don't know whether any forum user has experience of them; nothing's mentioned in the relevant thread. They're not the supplying dealer (I lease, so I didn't have the option to 'buy' locally) but after twisting their arm to give me a test drive, I did tell them that I...

I'm coming up to the first anniversary of ZS ownership. Naturally, it's insurance renewal time. I went with LV last year - they were one of the most competitive and I liked the 'extras' they offer EV drivers (including recovery to a charge point, if you're over-optimistic about the GOM!) The EV...

I've just been quoted £20 for the first, 12mth service (due next month) and then £80 for each of the two following services to take me to 36mths (the length of my lease). That's pretty good pricing.

Oh, I did that too - that was the first step ;) To no avail...

I didn’t take a photo after yesterday’s journey from Wiltshire to Lancashire, but over the 213 mile jaunt (A roads at each end, with the rest M5, M6) I saw 4.1m/kWh at an average speed of 55 mph. Was up to 4.2 at one stage!

And typical that it happened on my longest single journey to date - Wiltshire to Lancashire, 213 miles. Stopped for a top-up charge at Strensham North, at one of the Ecotricity units. It was in use by a Zoe when I arrived, but the guy driving it said that as he was planning to charge to 95% and...

So ‘the industry’ keeps saying. But in practice, the contactless option is often riddled with bugs while an RFID always seems to work first time. Funny, that 🤔

Typical. So the industry has missed yet another opportunity to make life simpler for EV users, by slimming down the numbers of networks, cards and apps needed to ‘refuel’ EVs.

Home car charger owners urged to install updates

What I haven’t been able to find any mention of is whether CPS chargers will now accept a SWARCO RFID card. Does anyone know?
