I was following a mk2 today on a 40mph road for several minutes. When there were no other cars infront (potentially activating its adaptive cruise control), it’s brake lights very briefly flashed on roughly every 5 seconds. It would've been very interesting if I’d have been able to ask them...

What do you guys think? Zs Mk1 done 32,000miles, in for 2nd attempt at the service (they did the 1 year instead of 2nd last month…) I know the SOH from the ODB2 is 93.7% I’ve been monitoring it ever since new, it correlates with the GOM (WLTP 163m at 100%SOH) after resetting trips at 100%...

After various discussions I'm curious as to who actually has bought a Type 2 cable sometimes needed for fast (AC) charging. Also, why/where folk have used/needed them. There's a few poll choices, multiple choices are required as it's kinda a few different questions in one poll... Do you own or...

I found a rubber bung like part on the driveway where my ZS (gen1) is usually parked, I'm guessing it's come off the car but can't work out where from. Anyone got any ideas? There is an irregular hole when I open the charging flap, that looks like something may have been there and broke - have...

I've read that Ohme have announced a new feature for their chargers - preconditioning. (For some API cars it can also set the cabin temperature). FYI, basically if you select it, when it works out its (so called) clever actual charging schedule, it will ensure that the last 30mins of the charge...

I’ve just read the 5 is getting a recall to resolve the issue that the brake lights do not illuminate when the regen causes the car to decelerate past a certain threshold - as specified by law. Anyone heard about the ZS getting a recall too to fix this? It is something that worries me when...

There's been some interesting thoughts regarding this recently. So I've created this poll to see what everyone thinks. Please select as many options as are relevant. Enjoy & Discuss!

Could you guys with a 5 let me know what the granny charger that came with your cars looks like please. I'd like to know if they are all the same. I have a ZS and have designed a wall mount for the granny charger than comes with it, I'd like to design and make one for the 5. Attached is a...

I did post this quickly in another thread last night, but it probably warrants its own to highlight the importance!!!! Who's going to be watching live!?!? (FYI CET is the same time as currently in UK on BST) 07.10.2021 11am CET New details MG Marvel R Electric. Introducing renewed MG ZS EV...

Anyone sold a car to Cazoo before. I filled in the bits online, got my amazing quote, then it wants me to grant them (well an intermediary) access to my internet banking to get my account number.... I'm not doing that it goes against everything I know. All they need to pay into my account is my...

Has anyone else had this occur? Today, waiting at a busy junction, was at a complete stop so the auto brake (green P) was holding the car, had to pull out quickly (was in E3), so put my foot flat to the floor. I was expecting a bit of wheel spin - especially as I was turning right so had the...

I'm going to try to pull together some data regarding battery State Of Health, we now have cars about that have done a reasonable mileage. These are the bits that I think would be good to know: SOH % Mileage done Car age (since registered) Rought percentage of DC (Rapid) charges vs AC charges...

I don't do rapid charging very often at all, but a week away at the coast necessitated a brief stop for a quick bit of juice. Wasn't quite sure what was going on, as it just started charging when I plugged it in etc without having to swipe a card or do anything on an app etc. Got to 15mins...

What's the most amps people have seen generated? I just did some foot down testing.... I got to a maximum of 290 Amps being drawn (at about 430volts) Interestingly, the motor speed display turned red once it got to something like 8.5(x1000rpm), I didn't have much time to see it exactly! Regen...

I have designed a custom 3D printed wall holder for the MG granny charger. I am selling them on ebay for £14.99 but anyone on the forum who wants one can buy from me directly for £10, just send me a message. They take over 10 hours each for me to 3D print, so allow me a couple of days...

One of my worries occurred this morning, went to get in the car for a long journey, wanted it fully charged, for some inexplicable reason it only charged at about 3.5kW instead of 7kW, so it didn't have enough time to charge fully. I have no idea why this has happened. Nothing has changed on...

I noticed when DC charging recently (on first proper long journey), that the charger knows (it displays it) what percentage the battery is. Clearly it is something that is and can be communicated via the type 2 cable. So, why don't our installed home "chargers" read it and are able to manage...

Anyone else had this randomly pop up? Wife was driving along at roughly 30mph, already done about 10 miles, nothing appeared wrong etc, message popped up with red battery sign HV Battery Fault, it went after about 10 seconds, no performance impact etc. Background: Car came with Jan BM, is only...

This started off being discussed on another post (Which charger? Experiences?). I thought I'd start one specifically for the Ohme charger, so we can share info and tips. Preamble: The Ohme charger isn't geared up for what I want, which I think is probably a pretty normal requirement. Charge...
