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...

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'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...

Home improvement during lockdown...:) ...so I need to collect some kitchen worktops from IKEA. They’re 2.5m long - anyone tried to get something of this length into their ZS and succeeded? All very well looking at it in theory, but it’s whether it’ll fit in practice! Don’t want to get there...

Charged up today on a new BP Chargemaster 7kw unit in a Bristol NCP car park. Arrived with about 30 miles showing on the GOM and, after plugging in (without issue) the charge time was showing as 5:43. By the time we got back to the car, the display was showing 22 minutes left - which, by the...

Having been galvanised by the evident enthusiasm of the MGEV community and everyone's satisfaction with the model, I'm looking forward to taking delivery of my new ZS EV Exclusive a week today :) It will be my first car in four years. I ditched my last ICE while living in London (no need for a...
