    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    Not yet - just had to act quickly today to cancel MG ZS order. Tonight all the orders that my dealer has pass back to MG UK. Tomorrow I would have been dealing with MG UK who do not answer the phone and take a few days to answer emails. It could have been a few weeks for a new supplier to...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    Just emailed Westridge confirming cancellation. Good luck to everyone holding in there - hope your cars arrive soon. My only hope is that my car order will go to someone that has been waiting a long time rather than one of the greedy dealers getting it for stock and giving it to someone who...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    Today is the last day that Westridge is my MG Dealer. As of 1st September the Franchise for Westridge to supply MG will cease. Tonight all open Westridge orders will pass back to MG UK including mine. Westridge do not know who the new supplier will be. Wrote to MG and they advised that a new...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    No more excuses required for me - the last straw for me was that they have released the ZS is to be replaced and to be delivered by the end of 2024. The backlog of cars on the order book in my opinion is not achievable before the next generation will require the production line to be changed...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    Ok, so update for ships arriving to UK. I have a watch on Shanghai and see where they go. Get excited if they head towards Suez. Once they come out of Suez see where they head. Also keep an eye on Portbury arrivals and watch these ships to see if they go near to Shanghai. Have been watching 3...

    All grants have been removed off electric cars. Does the Spanish government still offer grants for electric vehicles?

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    The actual ship duration is as you have said. Global Highway took 31 days Swallow Ace will be 30 days if it arrives later today (just going into Bristol Channel now) If they came direct it could be quicker. We have members of this forum who have found the completion certificate in the glovebox...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    All they have to do is produce 2500 MG ZS a month to clear the backlog of orders before the end of 2024. If they open the order book for the non sunroof models then it will be a few more a month. At the current rate they will not clear the orders taken before Xmas (I am assuming that they are...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    Wonder what spin it will be with the next update. Wiring loom is old news- by now they have alternative suppliers. They must have to allow them to deliver all those stock cars to the people who ordered after us. Is the wiring loom going to arrive for your car this week, or have the wiring loom...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    I helped an old neighbour pack up a shipping container when he emigrated to Australia years ago. He took his Mazda premacy. When in the container we couldn’t open the doors so had to climb over the seats and exit via the boot. Internal width dimension of Shipping container is 2350mm / width of...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    I would not have expected anything else from MG. They prioritised the delivery of the MG4 cars to get to Shanghai. They made special arrangements to get the cars shipped to the UK, even selecting a different port to enable fast track of delivery. Then whilst the ship was at sea for 4 weeks...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    When it previously advised that it would be leaving this morning I did have a bit of doubt - tugs / shoreside crew / vehicle unloaders / road car transporters - all working bank holiday Monday at double time - very costly ?

    Should I cancel my ZSEV order because of rising energy costs?

    Yes - you are correct, although currently price of oil is going down and forecast to reduce 10% by Christmas. I try to only look at forecasts up to six months as world markets can drastically change. Who would have predicted the impacts of COVID and Ukraine on the world markets. There is a...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    Saw it yesterday on anchor in the bay - Green and White. There must be something of value on board because one of the new Aircraft Carriers was on anchor nearby. Saw it when I went to the supermarket for some bits on my Honda 125cc scooter. Forgot that it is scooter weekend here in Ryde on the...

    Should I cancel my ZSEV order because of rising energy costs?

    That works out to be 27kWh per 100 miles. I used 30kWh in my calculations for 100 miles. Assume in the Winter car will use a bit more so this means my 30 kW assumption is ok? I have looked at many tariffs and cannot find one that is cheaper than paying standard capped tariffs for my...

    Should I cancel my ZSEV order because of rising energy costs?

    Tried OVO this morning - they will not quote - not taking any new customers at this time. From the website the new rate is 67.1p per kWh normal rate / 5p per kWh EV charge rate. Have assumed standing charge to be the same. This works out to be £4449 per year. When compared with standard capped...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    As already advised on earlier posts - my small family dealer on the Isle of Wight - Westridge Garage had had the franchise removed as of the end of this month. I have been told by MG UK that a replacement dealer will be in touch with me at some point to advise they are taking over my order...
