    Gen 1 ZS & Zappi

    Hi all, Anyone having problems with a Gen 1 ZS and Zappi charger? I've been using ours regularly with no problems until last week. I've started to leave the car plugged in overnight with the Zappi set to Eco+ mode in order to take advantage of early morning sun from our PV panels. It's now...

    Swapping a home charge point

    Our son has a Rolec charge point at his home which is about 6 years old and becoming a bit intermittent. I have just had solar panels fitted which involved having my home charger replaced by a Zappi. I have given him our old PodPoint Solo which is only about 3 years old. A local electrician...

    MG ZS EV First MOT

    Hard to believe it’s 3 years since I bought my Gen 1 ZS. After 15,000 miles, yesterday was MOT day and, of course, it sailed through with no problems or advisories. They said the brake pads were virtually untouched, the front tyres 7 out of 10 and the rear tyres 8 out of 10. I had the annual...

    Do I change tariff?

    All being well, we should be having a roof full of solar panels, home battery & hot water solar diverter fitted next week. In addition we currently have an MG ZS EV. I was on a reasonably cheap energy tariff with EDF until the end of June (hoping to have had my system installed by then) but am...

    Weather decimates range

    With the recent good weather, I've been really happy with the economy from the ZS. Over the past 700 miles I've been averaging around 4.2 miles/Kwh. However, that changed on Friday. We were due to do a trip out to visit somewhere that was 59 miles away. No problem for the return journey I...

    Wow, 200 mile range

    So I've been doing some fairly gentle 40 - 50 mph runs recently and been achieving ~ 4 mile / kwh. Certainly the somewhat milder weather has helped in this regard. Plugged the car in overnight to charge and when i turned it on this morning, the GOM was reporting a range of 200 miles in ECO...

    Musings

    I thought I would pen a few lines after a year living with the MG ZS EV. Although I’ve had a few new company cars when I was working, this has been the first new car I’ve bought personally. Having now retired, most of our journeys are local, so an EV seemed to make sense. My previous long term...

    “Unofficial” ZS EV Accessories

    On another forum I came across the Alibaba / AliExpress web site in China and decided to order a couple of accessories. The prices are very competitive, but can take 2 or 3 weeks to arrive. The replacement LED bulbs for the interior lights are still to turn up, but I’m well pleased with the...
