Hi All. Here's my latest project: https://gonzos.net/projects/obd2-on-a-mg-zs-ev/ Enjoy! Gonzo

Here in OZ Tesla have opened up some of their destination superchargers to other brands of vehicle. The cost is about equivalent to petrol, but if it's your only option, who cares..? Anyway, I tried to charge my MG ZS at Narooma (south coast NSW). I downloaded the Tesla app, set it up, and...

Hi all. My ZS has done about 12k km, and is averaging 16.5 kWh per 100km (6.1km/kWh, or 3.8 mi/kWh). That's calculated from the energy in as measured by my EO charger. I've not reset my cumulative trip counter for a while, and that says I'm using 14.4 kWh per 100km. So this tells me that my...

Does anyone have a link to an exploded view of the ZS EV drive train? Looking at mine I can imagine what is where, but it would be nice to have a picture. Gonzo

Hi all. We just clicked over to daylight savings (Sydney,Oz) this week, but the car clock didn't. It's set to GPS sync, so it knows where it is and it knows the time and date. I switched to manual and corrected it. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Gonzo

Hi all. After being inspired by others here to install a LED strip light around the sunroof. I bought some white LED strip and fitted it. It worked really well. The next project was the boot. So, I used the left-over strip light and made this: The strip light is stuck to an aluminium angle...

Hi all. Being a suave sophisticated bloke, I carry a man-bag, but there's no-where in the ZS to put it (other than the floor on the passenger side). I was thinking that I might pull apart the centre console, get rid of the sliding top and the folding lid sections and make a "open bucket" for my...

I connect my phone to the car via Bluetooth. The contact list has the Surname first, followed by the FirstName, but it is actually sorted by FirstName. I like the sorting order, but I don't like the display - I'd like the FirstName first. Is there any way to fix it? Gonzo

I have an EO Mini Pro. When I charge my ZS the main charge is finished in 4 hours or so (depending on how flat it was), but the "equalisation" process (I assume that's what it is) takes another 4-5 hours. It draws about one amp for that period. Is this normal? Gonzo

I've had my ZSEV for a month now. Overall it's a really great experience. However, the software running the vehicle has some bugs, the sort of thing that my previous Mazda 3 didn't have. It's only small stuff, but I think it's an indication of the effects of making a budget vehicle. Things...

My previous car was a Mazda 3. It had blind spot warning indicator lights in the wing mirrors, and when I put my indicator on to change lanes if there was a car there it would beep at me. Under the same conditions the MG just flashes the indicator lamp. Is there any way of getting an audio...
