    Charging update

    Several weeks ago I posted an issue with my 2021 ZS EV. Briefly, the car refused to charge on my 7kw home charger and my granny charger. Took the car to the dealer for assistance and to get my second annual service. The dealer serviced the car and updated the BMS and OBC (on board charger)...

    MG ZS EV Battery charging issue

    I have a 2021 MG ZS EV that is now coming up to two years old. Currently it has 30,000 kilometers on the clock and is due for its second service in a few weeks. Normally I charge at home using a 32 amp circuit. My charger allows me to select the amperage for the charge - I nearly always...

    Charging practice

    I have had my ZSEV for nearing two years. I have always charged the car at home and generally to 80-88%. Over the two year period (35000 kms) I have balanced the battery about one a month. Yesterday after the balance the car registered 251 Kms (N) and 263 (E). I have read on this forum that some...

    Battery performance

    Battery degradation

    I have had my 20-21 MG ZS EV now for 12months (15000 kms). I have noticed that after a full charge and a balance I now have 257 kms range showing (not the 263). I was expecting a reduction, but was not sure of how much. Has anyone else noticed a range reduction similar to this?

    Breather pipe

    On the left side of the motor (passenger side) in my ZSEV is, what appear to be a small black (plastic capped) breather pipe. Around the pipe there is a small amount of oil, which appears to have come from the pipe. Can anyone tell me what the pipe is for, and does anyone else have any oil...

    Charging guidance required

    Normally I charge overnight using my 7kw charger (generally set on 15amps). This allows me to determine what charge is required at 20km per hour of charge. I am now trying to use my solar more effectively. Does anyone know if short charges have any detrimental effect of the health of the...

    If you had your time over again?

    I keep up with the information on the forum - I regularly check on topics which help me with understanding the car a little better. If you were new to the purchasing of a EV thing, reading this forum could put you off. Great detail, great information, but as a general overview, lots of...

    What is normal

    I have now had the MG for over three months. For most of that time my 12 volt battery remained steady at 14 volts - start the vehicle 14 volts, drive the vehicle 14 volts. Recently I have noticed that the battery reading is down to 13 volts when I start the vehicle and it does not rise to 14...

    Battery balancing

    I've had my MG for nearly three months now and have travelled about 3500 kms. I have never charged it to 100%, and I have only ever charged it using 15amps input from my charger. A simple question, do I wait until it tells me to do a battery balance, or do I charge it to 100% and try and make...

    Pilot badge on the MG ZS EV

    I have had my 2021 ZSEV now for two months, everything seems to be going well. But, I have noticed that some of the ZSEV's have a pilot badge on the left rear of the car. Does anyone know why the vehicle badging differs?

    Towing

    Apart from the legal and insurance issue, is there anything that would preclude the MGZSEV from towing a trailer (Total weight 500kgs)? Opinions would be appreciated. Sorry, found my answer under accessories. Thanks

    Eco/Normal/Sports throttle

    Just a quick question. Is the difference between Eco, Normal and sports, simple a matter of throttle response, sensitivity, or is there something else happening?

    Government support for EV's

    Based on what I have read on this forum there seems to be solid support from a number of Governments for the purchase of EV's, including support for the installation of home chargers. In Australia there is no Government support for EV's, in fact, there are a number of states which are planning...

    Battery equalisation - balancing

    I have owned the MG ZS EV for just over a month. I have charged it, two maybe three times a week. It has never been below 25% and the highest charge has been about 91%. In the experience of the forum is it better to wait for the car to tell me it needs an equalising charge, or should I leave...

    MG ZS EV Longevity

    MG ZS EV's haven't been out as long in Australia as they have been in other places, particularly in GB. There is very little information about their endurance. Based on the experience of the forum, what is the greatest number of (kilometers/miles) an MG ZS EV has travelled (relatively trouble...

    Is it ok to charge to 100% with a granny charger?

    I have recently purchased a MG ZS EV and have been trying to learn about it. Currently I charge with the Granny charger provided with the car. It takes a long time to charge, although normally I am in no hurry. A number of articles recommend you do not charge to 100% - is this the case, or...
