So essentially I just have to expect regen to sometimes not kick in in colder weather?

My journeys are always 21 miles. Excuse my ignorance but does the mk1 have an option to preheat the battery? It doesn't have app functionality or anything so I can only assume any preheat is automatic?

I have a mk1 MG ZS EV, bought in July. All through the last 5 months the regen, whilst in 3, slows the car and I see the needle go into the charging section of the dial. Now, I know when the battery is full, a message pops up saying regen won't work and to use the brakes, which makes total...

So thought I'd provide an update for anyone with similar issues. Seems that because of all the errors, the HV batteries were disabled, the start/stop button too. So the solution was to disconnect the battery completely and recharge it independently. Once I hikked it back up with a full charge...

Yeah, tried it both ways. Will give it another go when the battery has some charge.

This seems to be part of the issue. When the car turns on, it doesn't go to ready mode. I pressed the start stop button and nothing happens other than the power tunring off.

I have disconnected the battery and am currently charging it with the booster. Hopefully it takes a charge and all will be normal. I have very little faith at this point!

This is the problem I come up against... Booster has full charge. Attach to car. Turn on ignition (Start is green). Disconnect booster. Car shuts off immediately. If I leave the booster attached and wait, 5 mins or so, all the errors start coming including HV battery shutdown and the start/stop...

Is it likely if it's been perfectly healthy until this moment?

Hello all. So, I have read a couple of threads on this forum but can't seem to find the resolution I need. I left my lights on my mk1 MG ZS EV overnight and the 12v battery is completely dead. I have a full sized booster (the 8in1 type from Halfords) which I have tried to use. I got into my...

So I picked up my mk1 ZS EV and am enjoying it. The mk2 'dials' are really modern, being all screen, but can these be retrofitted to the mk1? Are the plugs the same as it does look like it in photos? Are the densions the same? Curious more than anything since the Astra K can be upgraded with...

That's what I would be interested to know. With the Vauxhall, the same info was sent via the plug, it was just displayed digitally instead of analogue dials. I can't rember if the computer needed a software update though.

So I picked up my mk1 ZS EV today and enjoying it. It came with a few accessories such as spare wheel, wind deflectors etc. So now I'm thinking beyond that. The mk2 'dials' are really modern, being all screen, but can these be retrofitted to the mk1? Are the plugs the same? Are the densions...

It's hard to tell. Google seems to thing it has gprs but I can't find a qr code or serial number on the charger that I can link. And there's no options on the machine for connecting. So I will say dumb?

It's a Type 2 7.2kW Rolec Wallpod

Thanks for the reply. I haven't collected the car yet so won't know until then if there is a timer. I will investigate the charge point in the garage and see if it had a timer.

I appreciate there are a few 'new here' posts but wanted to ask questions for definitive answers in my personal case if people don't mind! 1. I hear there is an update that allows you to see both distance AND battery percentage in pressing the colsole button. Is this true? And if mine doesn't...
