I wonder if this an issue in countries that salt/grit the roads? And the vehicle manufacturer not prepared for this. Early Japanese cars in The UK in the early/mid 70s dissolved before your eyes. I now live in NZ where roads aren't gritted our two year old never garaged 25,000 km ZS remains rust...

We live in Whangaparaoa and have a Gen 1 ZS EV. We don't pay too much heed to the GOM. We look at its consistent 16 kw/100km over 20,000km. WLTP range is over enthuiastic, as Gavin on Ecotricity on Youtube says Way Less Than Predicted. Take the WLTP and knock off at least 15% for a real world...

I wouldn't be surprised if they introduce a £ per mile driven charge to BEVs in The UK. Here in New Zealand it already exists for diesel vehicles. There is no excise tax on diesel at the pump. Diesel vehicles are charged per kilometres driven. There is talk that this will include BEVs from 2024...

Many thanks for the info. We are in the process of changing power company, we mostly charge on a local free Vector rapid charger, but this would be useful on long trips.

The speedometer on cars generally tell you that you are travelling faster than reality, when indicating 100kph you're actually doing less. By fitting 205/55-16 instead of 205/60-16 you will make the speedometer even more inaccurate, you'll be going even slower than the indicated speed. This can...

No dazzle from my lights, have had them aligned properly in my mates workshop with a beam tester. Interestingly the passenger side headlamp was too low and needed raising, it was as if the guy in the MG factory set the headlamp beam heights for a left hand drive when the headlamps clearly have a...

The wife pulled into the driveway yesterday afternoon with the charging flap open.

Thank you for your time with my questions. I have installed the NovSight N38s and wow what an improvement. I can see why you needed to 3D print a special tool. I struggled to get the locating ring/chuck to turn into position. But I noticed 3 philips head screws holding the headlamps...

Yes, Yes, Yokohama ZPS (runflat) tyres require extended hump rims in order to work. When flat Yokohama can be driven upto 80kmh for no more than 80kms, and Yokohama instruct not to repair theirs after having been driven on flat.

Sorry, you are right. Runflat tyres can be fitted to a standard rim. But is not recommended. They will not function as a runflat. Dedicated runflat rims have an extra extended hump/lip which acts as a bead lock to ensure that the heavy reinforced sidewall's bead of the runflat tyre remains...

Yes outside Plant Barn, we never new it was free until we checked it out in our new ZS EV, it's made ownership even more attractive

Runflat tyres require a special/different type of rim. It is not possible to fit runflat tyres to standard rims.

They are scattered around the place Warkworth, Silverdale, Constellation, Hobson St, Newmarket. Get the Vector EV charging app. The free ones can be identified on the app by the fact they have 30 minute time limit.

One last question before I order a pair of these N38. I just discovered they have a small inline box attached. I take it you were able stuff everything into the light housing on the ZS before replacing the dust cover?

Do the original dust covers fit back on ok with the Novsight N38 LEDs?

Auckland New Zealand.

Two months ago we took ownership of a brand new first generation 44 kw ZS EV. There will be no gen 2 models here until the end of the year at the earliest. So we grabbed this gen 1 on run out for the equivalent of £20,000 driveaway after receivng government rebate/subsidy. The car is used for...

My mistake re right hand drive.

As far as I am aware nobody has seen a right hand drive version of the Ato 3. All Youtube reviews aimed at Australia and NZ seem to be left hand drive Chinese versions. We have been on tenterhooks waiting for BYD's launch in Auatralia and NZ and the dates keep being pushed back. I got fed up...
