Thank you very much!

Thats good. I thought it was 7 years, but I did the research on the video some time ago so didn't want to give incorrect information and it may vary by country. I think 7 years use is quite reasonable. It doesn't mean that the battery definitely does need replacing then but after 7 years, it...

The HS charges at only 3.7kw where as I know the ZS charges at 7kw, Im not sure if it has faster charge but I think has faster charge. I wouldnt use the type 1 charger than comes with the car unless emergency, some people say its safe but some people warn it may overheat the cable. Especially if...

As far as I can remember there is no option for not charging the car on ICE. its only low, medium or high. Yes you will use slightly more fuel when charging the car using ICE so I only ever have it on low. I normally save the EV for when only city driving as I find EV is most efficient at lower...

I had problems with insurance, not with recognising the car but with price. Some companies have MG as 2 companies I think one of them was MG UK. Best to use online comparisons like moneysupermarket or confused and shop around. The prices varied from £450 to £1000 for me

The ZS is a slightly smaller car than the HS, depending on your family size, it may or may not make a difference to you. The ZS safety record is slightly lower than the HS. The HS got a full 5* In relation to charging, it depends how good your charging infrastructure is like over there. I do...

Yeah thats what the mitsu salesman told me, to get android auto i needed to get a new car, even 1 year old didnt have that, the 2017 model i sat in only had a cd player! I even checked out Nissan Qashqai and same there, to get android auto I needed a new model and like for like so much more than HS

I read an article somewhere it was because of the nissan mitsu renault alliance that mitsu pulled out of uk. Brexit possibly a factor as well. Renault believed the pie was too small for all 3 and flexed their muscle as majority shareholder. Which is a shame, Mitsu didnt become top selling plug...

Ouch cant believe it was that damaged and written off. I did consider the Outlander but was looking to spend £16k not the £27k i paid for HS. I still like the exterior shape and fast charge, but things that put me off was that mitsu was pulling out of uk because of bullying by renault and the...

Might need to bite the bullet and set it to normal. My logic is even if it saves 1 accident, the time and money saved with not having to deal with a claim will be worth it. Besides I mostly do local so wouldnt be going high speeds anyway

I was offered scratch insurance and alloy insurance when buying the car. In the end decided not to get alloy wheel insurance but bought after market scratch / dent insurance. Glad I didnt buy wheel refurb insurance as after 4 months I havent kerbed it once, mostly because of 360 camera. On my...

Thanks, in 2 minds, I like the emergency braking idea but having heard some horror stories that people have mentioned on fb groups, not sure if I want it active. decisions decisions

Glad it worked like a dream for you. What setting did you have it on? Alert only or emergency brake? I have it on alert only but just wondering if on alert only would emergency brake still kick in if it sensed a proper accident

Haha, that's my video. Thank you very much for the recommendation!

I have heard a couple of people mention that the emergency brake his a mind of its own sometimes. I have mine on alert only, which is a shame as its a safety feature that if it worked even 98% would be really amazing as all it would take is once for it to do its job, and it would save a lot of...

Yeah I would have to say MG quoting stats are not perfect. Not the 7kw and not 3 hours either. But if its any consolation, the official quoted range is 32 miles but Im sure I get closer to 40 miles range normally

Thank you. Sorry I can't think of any reason for the boot problem. Maybe its low battery in the key fob? Sounds silly and minor but maybe ask dealer to change battery to see if it helps. The key continuously send signals out even when not in use so that reduces battery life. I have my key in a...

It's not an exact science I guess. Supposedly temperature affects charging time. Also even when the battery shows 0% there is still charge you can use. As a result you probably don't get full use of the whole battery, the car may keep some reserves. One thing I am absolutely certain about is...

Glad you liked it and found it useful. I only came across the affinity discount by chance and thought I share as its quite a considerable saving. Every little helps! If you know anyone else that would be interested please share, like and subscribe. Many thanks!

Short answer is that it will only charge at 3.7kw, although by getting a 7kw charger you are future proofing yourself. The long answer is I have done a full review of the PHEV and covered most things about charging in my video
