    Brakes failed

    Simply the method to cancel the cruise was to press the brake pedal, the the speed controller buttons wouldn't slow the car down quick enough. Easily the most scared I have been in a car without crashing. But not as scary as having an 18 wheeler pull out on me an me plough into it at about...

    Brakes failed

    "5. If you have non-genuine car mats I would check them to see if they have interfered with the pedals. I have seen this with the mats getting tangled in the steering rack which is exposed in the drivers footwell" I've had this before in an ICE car. Happily doing 70(ish) on the M5 in cruise...

    Yet another ZS EV Exclusive newbie :-)

    Good advice. I can easily get over 4 m/kwh in Eco mode, which is great and in excess of the WLTP, but the car is much more fun in Normal mode. Eco mode is now only for journeys

    Infrastructure rant- 1st long road trip disaster (long one)

    We've just had our first bad EV experience. Since having the ZS I have always followed my ABRP route, only deviating by charging for an extra 10 mins everywhere, for piece of mind, and if I need to use HVAC etc. However last Friday, we came from Portsmouth to Stoke and due to accidents, we had...

    Traffic Jam Assist

    It works brilliantly no question, however I don't think its worth the kick to the range, as you lose re-gen. A recent 90 mile journey gave me just 3 m/kW, whereas the same journey 3 weeks earlier, driving normally I got 3.9 m/kW. I'll maybe put Acc on for 10 miles, to adjust driving position...

    New ZS EV driver

    So we're now 2 months and 1500 miles in and I'm happy to report I am still as happy now as I was a week after I took delivery. I've so far spent about £25 on electric, as I'm grabbing free charges every time I can at Tesco. I've even had two free fast charges at pod point and eco-tricity...

    Liquid under car when parked

    It was on really hot days, so it could be from the battery cooling system

    Liquid under car when parked

    I have noticed some liquid under the car after driving for a relatively short distance. I expect that it is from the HVAC system, but I rarely use this, preferring instead to have the sunroof and windows open, except while on motorways. Anything to worry about or just the normal air con discharge?

    Range when using adaptive cruise control or MG Pilot

    Is it just me, or is the car way less efficent when using the cruise control or MG Pilot? I seem to be able to drive the car far more efficently "manually". Don't get me wrong, both systems work incredibly well, though it is still a little disconcerting.

    Discussions on using Ohme charger with the ZS EV

    Got mine fitted Friday. Charged perfectly as per schedule, so far so good.

    Returned to the dark side

    That's a real shame, I hope I'm not feeling the same in 6 months. I can honestly say I researched my choice more than anything I have ever purchased before. I knew only too well from lurking on here and reading/watching more videos than I care to remember that my realistic range was going to...

    New ZS EV driver

    One week in, loving the car!!! Ive never felt so relaxed driving around our area as I do now :) I've been running mainly in "E" mode, as the power is as much as we need for our daily commute. I have had a go in "S" mode, (because you have to), and boy the MG is a quick car out of the blocks, my...

    Which charger? Experiences?

    Is that the Ohme intelligent wall charger? As the one on Octopus for £199 is the smart charge cable.

    Which charger? Experiences?

    Loving my new car and Octopus Go is on its way in a week or so, so the question now is which charger to get. Favourite at the moment is the Ohme, as I'm concerned i may need the earth rod for the others. Has anybody had experience with the Ohme, or preferences for other chargers?

    New ZS EV driver

    Have you had any issues with charging using the EO charger? I've read a few have had issues with the pod point which is the other I've been looking at.

    New ZS EV driver

    Hi all, I am new to anything EV, but after researching my options since January I have reached the conclusion that having an EV is now right for us, and it is time to ditch our Mazda CX-3 ICE car and are taking delivery of our MG ZS EV Exclusive in white, hopefully this Thursday. I say...
