It’s done the lower rear drivers door, lower plastic sill piece, dented the rear lower arch/sill itself, wheel trim and damaged the...

    Second Service Due

    The second service is due end of May on my ZS. I have a pre-paid service plan, and was wondering if the dealer with who the plan is with will contact me to arrange the service, or will I have to ring them and get them to book it?

    Got the dreaded - - - on the GOM today!

    These colder temperatures really are a killler; got - - - on the estimated range remaining today for the first time. 6% state of charge remaining, but had two big hills to get up before I made it home. I was actually wondering if it would make it. Anyone know if there is a buffer below 0%?

    EV Owner Oddities

    Visited a small shopping centre near me yesterday. Offered free charging (which didn’t work), however as I was walking off I noticed the car next to me - Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV - had padlocked his charge cable to his rear wheel. I kid you not. Appeared to be an older chap, presumably unaware...

    ZS Pulling 1.66kW for over 3 hours after full charge

    My ZS has reached 100% charge but is still pulling 1.66kW for over 3 hours now! Anyone know what’s going on? Never noticed this behaviour before, it usually ramps down and sits at 0.10kW for a few minutes after charge completion, but never this before!!

    After 6 weeks of ownership, finally got a home charger installed today after having to use the painful Granny charger up to now. Topped up from 91-100% in 45 mins! Bliss! Can finally use the car without having to worry about having enough range for the next day - no more eco mode and no a/c...

    To AC or not to AC…

    Just got a ZS EV and loving it. However, coming from a fossil car and my “only use AC when the outside temperature is above 24 degrees, to save fuel” mentality, does the same apply to EVs? Is it more efficient, conversely, to just set the climate control to a temperature and leave it in auto...
