    Reduced Power - MG UK Deny Fault.

    Hi, i gave MG UK (Spoke to them directly) every chance to fix the car and in the end they stated there's too many variables and at this point the dealers hands were tied, so in the end i sold it on and actually bought a Zoe and this works fine and as expected. My ZS battery was fully balanced...

    1st time Achieved 100 +miles in Eco mode ZS EV

    The avg is only 12 mph, hence why in ECO he can do 173 in the warmer months.... If the average was around 25 mph, then you would be probably looking in ECO mode, no more than 140 miles and in winter knock another 20 - 30 miles of this, unless you plan not to use the heater at all....

    Rapid Charging Speed

    I could only ever get anywhere close to 50KW (or max of 80KW) if i had travelled a considerable distance (100 mile+) and the battery pack was hot but obviously will change depending on the outside temperature. For me, my MG ZS EV and i presume the MG5 is the same but normally and even with low...

    Does anyone on this forum think this is an acceptable response from mg

    I know exactly how you feel, MG UK simply don't care and it's never their fault and the car is performing correctly. Maybe they think we are buying cheap EV so and should just except the faults and crack on!!!! With so many cars suffering from software faults MG should have included a 10mm...

    Reduced Power - MG UK Deny Fault.

    Do you consider 25% remaining to be low SOC that's a 1/4 of the overall battery, so effectively from your comments you are happy with a car that performs perfectly fine for 75% that's equivilant to a 33KW battery... I agree why would you need full power when the first warnings come on? Well...

    Reduced Power - MG UK Deny Fault.

    I am happy with the reduced power if the car tells's me this is limited, but it doesn't, and if you come to overtake or can only manage 25MPH up the smallest of inclines, then clearly this is not right or at least for me; it's not. Perhaps though people are happy with a car that performs for...

    Reduced Power - MG UK Deny Fault.

    The last time the dealer had the car the imbalance result was 0.006mv across the pack and it was the best they had ever seen, so not a BMS problem. I know the dealer has never tested my car but they did their own test in another MG ZS EV and the result was the same and this does suggest it's...

    Reduced Power - MG UK Deny Fault.

    Long story but please read this could be applicable to all MG ZS EV…. Within the first 30 days of ownership my new car, I noticed that at low SOC <25% the power of the car would not go above 30% (+ 2C) when going from 10mph and up a very small incline. I immediately informed my dealer who at...

    Has anyone rejected a car due to bms fiasco

    From my experience rejection is much harder than you think and knowing what i do now and as previously stated, i would only give the dealer once chance to fix this and make sure it's within the first 30 days (although not 100% sure if this applies to used cars).

    Rapid Charging, Just how far must you drive before 50KW is seen?

    Thanks for the detailed information and from this and based on other comments, then i would expect if on a 50KW charger the rate to the fairly flat with little drop off until nearer the 80%. What though i can see is the temperature of the pack increases significantly, which is something i've not...

    Rapid Charging, Just how far must you drive before 50KW is seen?

    OK, perhaps my title was incorrect and should have said KW, Regardless though, the amount of energy supplied in my table (Charge KWH) clearly shows that to get 33KW (0-80%) takes longer than the 40 mins MG claim unless and in my case i drive more than 100 miles and this moreover the point i was...

    BMS update- feedback from MG

    You need to find out the millivolt imbalance first. MG's position on this is if the value is greater than 100MV the dealer needs to perform this, any less this should be the customer (unless your dealers willing to do this out of good will).

    Rapid Charging, Just how far must you drive before 50KW is seen?

    I presume you are referring to the tab that looks like KW? This is actually KWH it's just the filter that's hiding the 'H' :)

    Rapid Charging, Just how far must you drive before 50KW is seen?

    I used BP pulse just for consistency, but I have also used BP, Shell and InstaVolt in the past with the same result.

    Rapid Charging, Just how far must you drive before 50KW is seen?

    With the claim from MG, you can charge your car from 0 - 80 using a 50KW rapid charger in just 40 minutes; I thought i would put this to the test, given; I have rarely seen this speeds anywhere close to this. Now before i start yes, i am aware this is subject to outside temperature and SOC but...

    First Multicharge Journey

    If you tap the consumption reference is the settings it will to miles/kWh and I would set this to 3.2 for 65 MPH. I used ABRP for my first long EV journey (3 charges) and it work well. Problem I had is I set my preferred chargers to BP Pulse and one of the stops had a beaten up old unit that...

    Low Battery - Reduced Power

    Here's the steps you can follow: 1) Run the car down to between 16 - 20 miles and leave overnight. 2) Following morning, with the AC & heater on, drive up a small incline and from around 20 MPH, floor the accelerator, you should get anywhere between 25 - 50% power (temperature dependant). 3)...
