    MG Australia capped price service costs

    Mine will be pre-July 2021 being built March 2021, but it really doesn't make sense why it would be on different service scheduling if the cars are not drastically different. Only thing that changed was the recent $1k increase of the model in July. It's just a little confusing. Welcome the...

    Android auto...now working perfectly.

    Depending on your phone you might be able to have a simple rule to turn it on/off depending on wifi it picks up (like home wifi detected it can put it into silent mode)....I'm not sure exactly how but I'm pretty sure it's capable if you don't remember to turn on/off. Thanks for the...

    Type 2 cable recommendations please.

    For a fraction more $$$ I got a 22kW rated type 2 cable as it's future proofing my purchase and it can be used by others if needed. It will still only limit charging to 7kW but if I upgrade my car with increased capacity I don't have to fork out for another cable. Got mine from here - Type 2...

    If you had your time over again?

    I agree with a lot of these points. In Australia, we have very few choices and the MG satisfied our desire to get into the EV market. Our ICE is a VW 2015 GOLF TSI and this is what my comparisons are to. EV benefits aside and just compared to build the Golf is very intuitive and bit more...

    Thanks Dodger, but the floor in my car sits lower than it appears in your photo. If you look on my image, there are black parts where a shelf would sit on (circled in blue). Do you have a really deep cavity below the boot floor that the liner sits on? Or do you actually have a spare wheel...

    @Wazzmania do you have a spare tyre installed beneath the liner? Mine sits deeper and the corner get caught on the little shelf part circled below. I was going to ask the dealer if this liner is actually the specific one for the ZS EV as it really catches on sides when accessing the below for...

    That's great @Joe. Congrats. And we also just excited completed ours as well this morning. (Will post later). So the list was handy. I copied the list onto my phone. Google Keep allows for check list so you strike it out as we went through it. Agree having the list on hand. No way I'd...

    Check List for picking up new car

    Timely check list for me. Pick up a ZS EV in 3 days. I've made note of some of the items to check. I had one query though...what is "Door Mirror Gasket Fit"?

    Are the weather shields original or aftermarket? I like the thought of the light bar. Looks good to me. Did you install?

    Who's got weathershields on their MG ZS EV? Worth it?

    I've never thought about having them on the car, but with the poor HVAC performance and possible need to restrict the AC usage and open up the these might need to be an essential accessory in the aussie heat. Do people recommend them? Are there slim ones available? Any decent after market...

    Peter Stevens MG - Ballarat - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Geez I wish I had your negotiation skills. Do you mind sharing what your ended up paying? My dealer is noting the margins are tight, and now the EV subsidy has "increased interest".....I was hoping to get it at $40K incl. subsidy (help with our near future expenses).

    How come India has i-Smart EV 2.0 and UK has i-Dumb-EV?

    Beside the hardware limitations mentioned above (embedded sim) are there any other hardware limitations that would prevent a simple software update and functionality? Australia doesn't have the smart functionality on it's head units yet....would love to know if anyone has any updates for our...

    TeslaBjorn on his YT vid noted the usage from his calculations were approx. 42.5kWh @BarryH All the things you efficiencies you suggest could add some range but it is still a massive jump, and the post above your from @nishadks suggests a slight "real world" improvement based on the Indian...

    MG ZS EV 2021 new features

    Hi @Tim Green See @JodyS21 comment below.....It's surely differing testing regime. Maybe heat pump HVAC system? I don't know. I still thought this 2021 indian model was the same as the one we have here in Australia currently. (Still unsure tbh as I still haven't had a definitive answer as...

    OK - now I’m confused...first a tax, now a subsidy??🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    The subsidy, supposedly was introduced to alleviate pressure from cross benches and public outcry in regards to the draconian EV road tax. (The tax to replace the fuel excise lost from EV use to pay for roads building/maintenance.....which aren't even funded from fuel excise taxes....straight up...

    Have you used the App to control when you charge the EV?

    Hi @Wayne H , Was interested in your experience and you mentioned obtaining front sensors. We noted the lack of these on our recent test drive, so was wondering how you were able to get these and how much these were? I tried to look at MG website for full accessories list but you have to...

    Indian MG website claim for ZS EV range is 419km!?!?! What the.....?

    I've taken time now to dig a little deeper and downloaded the brochure from the Indian site and finally found the following subnote relating to the range – *The range figure is based of ICAT certification in test conditions. ICAT appears to be International Centre of Automotive Technology...

    MG ZS EV 2021 new features

    Can anyone say if the this Indian updated "longer range" 2021 version cost the same as the previous EV version? Or if the testing of the increased range was more relaxed hence further distance under ideal condition rather than Real World Conditions? In Australia we currently have the ZS EV...
