    Parking MG ZS EV on a incline for 5 weeks

    When you come back and move the car for the first time forward, I suggest that you use a touch of acceleration and then manually release the brake as you prepare to move off. Waiting for the brake to automatically release can be a bit rough at times - more so when reversing up a slope.

    MG5 LR charge routine (taxi)

    I guess that my ZSEV will not be a lot different regarding the battery system in your car. Mine has been used as a taxi for the last 12 months and has been charged completely randomly as and where necessary. It is always charged up overnight on my 7kw charger. Sometimes it might have 80% charge...

    MG5 Intermittent wiper setting

    As far as I know the adjustment is for rain volume only. I haven't noticed any speed adjustments when using that control. I've found that even the finest setting allows the windscreen to get quite wet before the wipers start up.

    MG ZS EV Front Camera Disable

    Yes, I have experienced this happening on a number of occasions when the weather is pretty miserable. It always clears after a little while and hasn't been a problem.

    Interior light holder

    The two screws under the Sunglass holder are removed. That allows the entire panel to drop away. I may not have made this clear in my earlier message. I am also inexperienced with this MG community messaging board, so my apologies if I'm not doing this according to plan.

    Delay before brakes release

    I had a very similar behaviour but more especially when on steep slopes either forward or reverse. What I have discovered is that in situations such as these, releasing the handbrake even if it's not theoretically on does allow the car to start a move off and be in creep mode this is...

    Inner sill protectors - AliExpress

    I bought a set of these when the car was new. After 30,000k they have worn through and won't be offering much in the way of protection but at least still look reasonable. On the ZS they actually curve over and around the sill a little and this exposes them to more wear and tear than the pictured...

    Interior light holder

    I also pushed the holder right through but it was no issue. There are a couple of screws holding down the panel surrounding the lights. Once they are removed you can drop the whole panel out and get into the area behind where the bulb holders are clipped in. You might be able to plug in your...

    New Zealand EV Users - listen up (Genesis Energy)

    I have nothing to do with Genesis Energy, other than to be a user of their services. I receive nothing for the following comment. Genesis has recently introduced a scheme whereby ChargeNet chargers will have the usage cost invoiced by Genesis and into your monthly bill with them. The amazing...

    Innovative Energy Supplier

    We have used hydro and geothermal (steam) for decades. Wind is now playing a big part as well. When necessary, coal is fired up to meet demand. Northern regions use private solar panels successfully to reduce reliance on the power company. From memory, in New Zealand over 80% is generated using...

    Innovative Energy Supplier

    Here in New Zealand we have a supplier who not only has an off peak (9pm to 7am) rate of 10c or around 5p, but carries your home rate on to the biggest charging supplier out on the road. FYI, I drive 2001 MG ZS EV. Bought in January 2022 it has done over 11,000 km and been charged more than 100...

    Warning lights flashing up

    Same multiple system failure warnings that appear to be connected to the radar. This is a solid fault that occurs after about 1 minute of the car being in the "Ready" state, driving or not. New ZS EV 6000km. New Zealand agent is being slow to respond.
