OVMS readings.
Starting SoC 50%.
4 hour charge so would have one hour of balancing
A01 BMS release so the early BMS gate fix
Never seems to get to the highest reading on OVMS, which was typically 98%+for most. SoC not that far off though.
40k OG ZS from the original 1000 batch in 2019
OVMS#...
OG ZS EV with over 40k miles
Primacy 3 fitted
Very light fissures on the front from age, less to none on rears
Fronts 2mm so let’s address that.
Rears 4mm
Tyre label I think was C rated fuel. A wet, 72dB noise, so not the best! Tyre life amazing though. Can it be bettered?
Choices?

Is it known for the charging breathing lamp to fail and if so, how? Loose wire or does the LED just let go? Is it covered under the 7 year warranty (I know after 4 years not much is covered and 7 is the batttery!)
Anyone else with an iPhone and seemingly cannot ever “slide to charge” on the Instavolt app? Anyone found the fix? Removing and install doesn’t work so it is not a missing permission issue I think.
Assuming a 2019 launch ZS with all updates applied correctly, will it work adequately on a Zappi in Eco+ mode and not go into zombie mode on purely solar charging? That is, after the sun comes out again after a cloudy spell has stopped it from charging.
I am aware of Eco mode and trickle...
Hi
During the recent sub-zero weather in the UK, my rear screen wash went inop. I placed this down to a weak wash mixture and frozen pipes leading to the rear.
However now that a strong mix has been applied and the overnight temperature is above zero, it is still u/s.
The pump pumps and front...
Has anyone with panels tried this new software feature on their ZS and Rolec? How effective do you find it at biaising charge toward solar over the grid?
Does it go on and off continuously, thus falling foul of the charging ECU shutting off permanently once the charge has ended, that is until...
All I’m going to say is if this is you and the emails from the eight-legged cephalopod urging you to switch, don’t.
Run the clock down and check your account to see what you will be switched to.
An observation
Via OVMS reading SoH data, my 69 plate is chewing through roughly 0.3-0.5%% SoH on every rapid. That’s not charging much above 80% too but certainly commencing below 25%, often lower. The relationship appears linear. One wonders what the algorithm is doing.
‘A01 BMS.
Current...
There's a new ZS BMS out with a build number ending in "EU4". This replaces the A01/EU1 BMS, which resolved all those balancing issues.
Has anyone had it and were you made aware of the differences over the previous release?
Based on personal experience, the above recently started keeping the car alive, charging the 12V and in the case of the latest edge build, the 12V reading was 5.4kV!
Returning to the main branch resulted in correct idle and shutdown of the car's systems.

The response from MG, who are not known to disclose things directly to customers, was to EO and highlights something many of us have known for some time about how they’ve gone about timed charging and likely a hardware limitation on the car...
