It was the service unavailability (here) that did for my ZS in the end...oh, and the Tesla test drive :love: Yes, I've ended my brief 'love affair' with the MG brand: just short of three years and 25,000 miles with a Gen 1 ZS EV, and switched to a Model Y. It's been a great introduction to EV...

I had to call the AA on a late-night return trip between Wiltshire and London last week, as my 2020 Gen 1 wouldn't initiate a rapid charge and I had insufficient charge to get home. The engineer had no joy with the 12v/10mm spanner routine and, with two young kids in the car, he decided that a...

Ah. I don't watch videos. Prefer to read :)

It does mention the app. I thought the review was reasonably positive - an improvement on their review of the original (which was only three stars, versus the four of the new one). Interestingly, one thing I’ve seen no mention of so far - but which is revealed by looking more closely at the...

Right. I've just booked my first year service at the dealership with whom I took out the MG Service Plan. As I was finishing the booking, the service receptionist said, "Sir, I do have to make you aware that the technicians will be carrying out an emissions check, which will also involve...

I did. Couldn’t access the BP Pulse charger at the back of the forecourt, because the entrance was rammed with panic-buying ICE drivers. What part of ‘there is no fuel shortage’ do they not understand? 😳🤔 Fortunately there was Starbucks/GeniePoint combo nearby. And - amazingly - for the first...

Benefits, as I see them: the price is locked in, you pay on a monthly basis over the course of the plan and it's peace of mind that the servicing is going to be taken care of. I don't see any disadvantages. And it seems incredibly good value. The cost of my upcoming first, 12mth service is...

I've just received my service plan documents - a leaflet and a 'loyalty' card, carrying the service plan number, that I'm supposed to take with me when taking the car for its service. Although the card states the name of the dealer that I nominated while purchasing the service plan on the MG...

Is it only me, or does anyone else see the irony in using a fossil-fuelled generator to charge an electric car?:unsure::ROFLMAO:

Confused.com was universally more expensive (apart from some dodgy, unheard-of brand at a rock-bottom price - no thanks), including for the same level of cover from LV. I've gone with the CTM deal - it's £100 less than I paid last year, anyway, and obviously a lot less than LV tried to fleece...

Eden MG in Swindon. I don't know whether any forum user has experience of them; nothing's mentioned in the relevant thread. They're not the supplying dealer (I lease, so I didn't have the option to 'buy' locally) but after twisting their arm to give me a test drive, I did tell them that I...

I'm coming up to the first anniversary of ZS ownership. Naturally, it's insurance renewal time. I went with LV last year - they were one of the most competitive and I liked the 'extras' they offer EV drivers (including recovery to a charge point, if you're over-optimistic about the GOM!) The EV...

I've just been quoted £20 for the first, 12mth service (due next month) and then £80 for each of the two following services to take me to 36mths (the length of my lease). That's pretty good pricing.

Oh, I did that too - that was the first step ;) To no avail...

I didn’t take a photo after yesterday’s journey from Wiltshire to Lancashire, but over the 213 mile jaunt (A roads at each end, with the rest M5, M6) I saw 4.1m/kWh at an average speed of 55 mph. Was up to 4.2 at one stage!

And typical that it happened on my longest single journey to date - Wiltshire to Lancashire, 213 miles. Stopped for a top-up charge at Strensham North, at one of the Ecotricity units. It was in use by a Zoe when I arrived, but the guy driving it said that as he was planning to charge to 95% and...

Interesting, I’ll take a look. Coincidentally, there was a story on the Zap-Map newsletter today about BEVs having a 70% smaller CO2 footprint than ICE vehicles. BEVs have 70% smaller CO2 footprint than traditional vehicles - Zap-Map NB Your gallon/litre conversion is out by a factor of 10...

The only Shell Recharge unit I’ve so far used is at Saxondale, near Nottingham. First time I used it (with contactless) I had problems but eventually wangled a charge from it (for which I was never billed!). By the next time I came to use it, I had a Shell RFID card and it was as easy as pie...

I think there might be better ways to use your time…😁 In all seriousness, I’m genuinely curious as to why you would be concerned about cleaning this area.

I think it all depends on whether you have the software updates. Mine is from Sep 2020 and I’ve had no problems sitting in the car while charging from a public rapid charger.
