MG ZS LR 2023. Screeching noise whilst cornering! Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, and thanks if you can re-direct me to that thread. I'm getting a screeching noise from the rear end when I'm going round a right angled bend or corner even from a speed of about 30 mph. It's OK going...

Hello, all, And apologies if this has been covered and I haven't seen it, but I seem, on occasions, to be getting a coming from my rear end of the car (MG ZS EV LR 2023) whilst cornering. At first I thought it might just be a bit of tyre squeal due to road conditions but today we heard it...

I'm heading down south for a few days in York from Scotland next week. This means I'll be without my safety blanket of the much maligned but actually quite helpful ChargePlace Scotland card. Any advice on Dos and Don'ts for a travelling Scot, to help me get a charge whilst on my journey...

I have just heard that Highland Council is proposing a rise in EV charging from 30p to 86p per kWh !!! For a council area which has a landmass equivalent to that of Belgium, and is hugely dependant upon tourism, this seems a punishing rate for environmentally responsible motoring, not just for...

Hello all. As you may have seen on this week's podcast, I'm struggling to see how I simply switch the radio On & Off.:unsure: But - the car has taken this issue out of my hands and has taken over on its own, as my radio is now auto switching on and off as it wishes without any input from me...

Hi, I get on fine with my PV cells and try and charge up the car when the sun is shining (even in the north of Scotland!). I looked at battery storage about a year ago but decided I probably wasn't going to recoup my investment quickly enough. But wit the horror stories of electricity pricing...

Hello, all. As mentioned on Tuesday night's podcast, I attach photos of public charger on the island of Colonsay, in the inner Hebrides. Imagine my frustration when access was blocked by 3 large storage containers and scaffolding poles!! Is this the most blocked off or inaccessible charger about?

Well, well!! The 2022 MG ZS EV has caught the eye of The Sun's motoring journalists! https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/18798806/best-electric-family-suv/ Top Gear next?????

Hello, all. This is mainly for UK residents, I suppose. A few weeks ago, the podcast mentioned that some of you were benefiting from the capture via battery storage of electricity produced from PV cells. Similar to my EV knowhow, I'm not technically blessed in this area, but would appreciate...

This is the start of my campaign to raise awareness amongst EV drivers to be more considerate and only charge to 80% whilst taking on a Rapid Charge (CCS or Chademo). It's been mentioned on the podcasts before that the charging rate drops significantly after 80% charge approximately in order to...

The long awaited transfer of operator of ChargePlace Scotland to Swarco was planned to take place this week. Does anyone know if it went ahead successfully. I can't see any updates, and the ChargePlace Scotland website looks pretty much the same. What changes might I expect to see? I'm pretty...

Driving back from Aberdeen to Inverness yesterday was a testing affair due to ChargePlace Scotland. I stopped at Inverurie (87 miles to home) and the Rapid charger didn't work! I called the Helpline for 8 minutes but it went unanswered. So drove on to Huntly (65 miles to home) and the Rapid...

Hi, all, We've mentioned a few times about how quiet or MGs are and that you hear road noise etc that you may not have heard in a ICE car. But a few people have mentioned to me just how quiet the car is as I pull away, particularly if they are standing beside the car as I drive off. But this...

I've just had a couple of nights away to the Kintyre peninsula (pause for Paul McCartney singing in the background). It's a great run from Inverness, but I drove all the way on Eco, and KERS 1. The AirCon was on for a wee while on the way down, but mostly just sunroof fully open. Due to the...

Hello all, I responded to a request on a recent EVA Scotland Webinar with SWARCO for volunteers to conduct an audit on the ChargePlace charger points in or around the north of Scotland. Earlier this wee, I've done about 7 or 8 in the area around Dingwall about 15 miles to the north of me. But...

I see SWARCO have been appointed as the new operator for ChargePlace Scotland from July 2021. I wonder what this will mean for EV drivers in Scotland? Good points - it seems the £20 annual fee is going to be scrapped, and a new app is on the way too. The promise of better fault reporting sounds...

I bought this on Ebay this week for just under a tenner to keep the snow from gathering on the windscreen and air intakes, and it protects the side mirrors from freezing up closed too! Quite pleased with it so far!

Hi Guys, I'm not sure if this is tied to the ongoing BMS thread, but I have just had this warning flash up on the information panel in RED - Slow Charge this Vehicle. I had 75 and then 70 miles range still showing on Normal on the 2 occasions it lit up. Is it tied to the BMS issue, and I take...

On first reading, this article appears very interesting. It would be a great way of placing Rapid Chargers on main roads where there is a gap between existing charging points. New Hydrogen Fuel Cell-Powered Fast Chargers - FuelCellsWorks But as a non-techie, the comments at the end questioning...

Welcome all, It's great to see the membership growing. In addition to the usual UK threads, up to now we have also had some really great input from mainland Europe such as the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark etc and now we see some activity from MG ZS EV owners and dealerships in Australia. I...
