One simple thing: have cruise control reduce speed via regen instead of friction brakes. In essence change a few lines of code that came from the ICE platform. That’s it, a better electric car right there.

Yeah that black screen happens to me too. I quickly reconnect the dongle and it usually works. I have the latest updates on the car afaik (had the car in the shop for updates a couple of weeks ago).

Can anyone share this letter with me? I just paid around €100 at the local dealership for the updates so that would be very welcome.

Well, get back there and make sure they tell you your car has all the updates so far. It makes no sense for one to pick up a car in March 2024 and not have all the previous updates installed.

Hi! My best advice: ignore the GOM fully - we call it Guess-O-Meter for a reason ;) Try and understand how many miles/km you do with 1% and take it from there. Or use 2km for every 1% and you should be fine. The only I look at the GOM is after charging to 100% for any reason and I can see how...

(Getting waaay off topic but I’ll bite) what? You can have manual updates both on your computer and phone. My computer does not update anything without me clicking on said updates be it apps, OS or firmware. On my phone I have auto updates for apps but system is manual update only. So I can and...

Is that by actual, first hand experience? BTW I can see what gets updated in my laptop and phone (firmware, system, drivers, apps, you name it).

@Miles Roberts CG ia there some kind of internal, European memo from MG you can point to? I’m from Portugal and I don’t think it’ll fly if I tell them “yeah they’re doing this in the uk”😅👍

As for how basic it is, nothing like test driving one at your local dealer. What may be a given to you may be a. Ice extra to another person so all those subjective issues are best if experienced first person. Depreciation: visit some websites for used cars to get a feel for it in your...

Always remember: the internet is a negative experience echo and amplyfing chamber. Everyone comes here looking for solutions because they have a problem. Seldomly one comes here and goes “everything alright today! See you tomorrow!” So don’t worry, lots of people who will not post are happy...

Hi! I was trying to get some readings our of my ZS but I can't seem to get it right somehow. This is the adapter I'm using (OBDLink Mx+, on the pic) and This is the screenshot from car scanner. Anyone past this with this specific combo? I don't mind getting another app but I really wanted to...

I know, that's exactly my point. Stations operators factor in the charger's max power (kw) in their kWh pricing, having you pay for the convenience of getting those kWh faster.

not necessarily, as the price per kWh is higher in high output chargers (paying for convenience in a way). So if one's car max charge rate is sub 100 no need to go for a 350kW charger given the chance.

The easiest reply is this: that’s the charging station maximum output, not your cars maximum input. Those are lower (7kW on AC, apparently, and ~80 on those high power DC chargers). Think of this as a pipe. You never want it to be a funnel in either way: if the car handles more than the charger...

I really don't want to add to your excitement and anxiety, but it's awesome. You're gonna love electric driving :) Welcome!

Bought this one, happy so far.

I was quoted around €200 for a fob, key and coating here in Portugal just across the river in Lisbon.

Simple reasoning actually: the optimal operating temperature for driving is lower than the optimal battery temperature for charging. Therefore to charge faster you need to heat it up, and in cold climates it makes an even bigger difference. Simple as that. This was as high as I ever saw my car...

I don’t see it as a currency/distance PP contest, just another EV user sharing their experience. You can either snark it or take notes.

Good outcome in the end! Hope you find your next EV real soon!
