    Range reduction…is this what all the people from Cold Places talk about?

    Yep, that’s the one I’ve got! Ok good, we have a 7kw charger at home and use that for about 80% of its charging. Thankyou! They’re just releasing the long range one here now! I’ve got what I assume is the standard range and it’s a 2022 model Thanks, I’ll monitor it and see what it does! We’ve...

    Range reduction…is this what all the people from Cold Places talk about?

    Thanks, so this balance charge thing…are we supposed to only be charging it to 80% normally?? We just plug it in and let it charge…The MG people were bloody hopeless when we picked it up so we didn’t get any instructions about anything 😅

    Range reduction…is this what all the people from Cold Places talk about?

    Hello! I’m in Australia and just heading in to cold weather - I live in regional Victoria and we get legitimately cold weather, but no snow. It has started to cool down properly over the last couple of weeks. The range on the MG seems to be all over the place. At 100% charge it’s showing ranges...

    13 miles driven and I’m wondering how I’m going to love it….

    As a person who lives in the country and has to go uphill on dirt tracks, the MG is bloody hopeless in sport mode in those conditions - slips and spins all over the place 😅 Much better in normal unless you need to get yourself out of/over a rut quickly and without any degree of finesse!

    13 miles driven and I’m wondering how I’m going to love it….

    Sport + Kers 1 puts you in to what is officially known in our house as “Beans Mode”

    Scheduled charging using the app - does it work for you?

    I have a fast-ish charger installed at home and it has a lead. When i plug it in to the car it “registers” that it’s there so that bit isn’t an issue, but when I’m trying to use scheduled charging it just doesn’t start the charge at the designated time. It’s the same when I try to use the...

    Scheduled charging using the app - does it work for you?

    😩😩😩 Yesterday I set up charging using the unit in the car, and checked on my app during the night and it wasn’t charging (it didn’t show that it was charging, the app was saying to put the charging cable in and the battery % was the same as when I left it outside) I tried to override it all...

    Scheduled charging using the app - does it work for you?

    hello! Just wondering whether others have good experiences scheduling their charging start time using the app? I’ve tried to do it twice and both times have gotten up in the morning to an uncharged car! Obviously the app is…well…crap…🤣 but I’d love for this to work. It doesn’t give me any...

    I thought this was a turn of phrase (possibly the best ever) until I got to the part about rescuing them.

    Monthly Mileage

    The other day I met somebody who does more than I do for the first time! He’s a full time Uber driver in the older version of the ZS ev and does an average of 10,000 km per month which is (…let me go and google that…) 6,200 miles per month. Apparently Uber negotiated good deals on some evs and...

    Monthly Mileage

    I work in km (Australian) so just had to google the conversion 🤣 but I’ve had the mg for 5 months and as of last week am officially overdue for the 20,000 km service. apparently all of this means that my car is averaging about 2,500 miles per month

    When drive means reverse?

    Something similar has happened to me a few times. I had thought that I must have done something weird somehow and didn’t really think about it. But a few weeks ago I had the car parked, got back in, switched on, put it in drive, pressed the accelerator and very nearly reversed in to the car...

    MG ZS EV - Australian Home Charging options

    Yep, and depends how you’re using the car. We live mainly in regional Vic and are doing about 1200km per week on average and house is ~80km away from the closest fast charger, so use case is vastly different to a metro person. I also like just being able to go home and plug it in and wonder off...

    MG ZS EV - Australian Home Charging options

    We didn’t really have time to investigate everything and just got the 7kwh charger unit from the dealer (with a discount) and had our electrician install. He did the install with a bunch of other things so not sure what the cost was but he had to run a 15amp (I think??) circuit for it. We...

    Motorway Range

    I don’t know anything about miles 😬 but my weekly trip to the office is 155km and I drive a ZS EV Essence (the current Australian model which I think is a bit of an “in between” one??) with a range of 320km. First half of the drive is country highway with bends and hills and things but no...

    MGZS LRTC: 12 month wait over! My initial thoughts and queries on a few things.

    I’m on the ZS EV Essence in Australia, which is a bit different to yours but the lane keeping is shockingly bad. I think it lasted a few days before we turned it off. We still turn it on on occasion just to check that it’s still as bad as we thought! First drive home after I picked it up was...

    Annoying delay when getting in to drive

    Mine has been doing this…I was actually starting to think there’s some sort of glitch because it only happens when I’ve had to stop it charging and remove the charging cable. I feel like there’s some combination of unlock-car-stop-charging-remove-power-cable-start-car that results in me having...

    Lane assist experiences

    I left mine on for a couple of days, but it seemed borderline dangerous to be honest. I now just have the alarm on and it is wildly overzealous. I have a 2 hour drive from the city to where we live, and my old car used to “beep” at me a couple of times per drive home. This car is beeping at me...

    Melbourne Australia…so I blew up my EVSE ("charging cable")

    I’ve used it a bunch of times with no issue, so I’m not sure We just figured we would get the replacement and sort the rest out later! I’m not sure what a facelift model is? but the newest model available to us has just started to arrive - there are two versions with about a $4k price...

    Melbourne Australia…so I blew up my EVSE ("charging cable")

    It was a “Big Bang” and was the 3-pin plug that goes in to the wall - pushed plug in and there was a big flash of light and I fell over backwards but can’t quite remember how. All quite alarming! The pins are a bit the worse for wear and there’s damage further up the cable as well. The building...
