    Gen 1 ZS & Zappi

    It’s a latest gen Zappi with built in hub, so the CTs are wired directly to it.

    Gen 1 ZS & Zappi

    Should also add that it charged fine using the granny charger. After looking back on the Myenergi forums there was a note about possible problems when Powerline adaptors are also in use. I have 3 of these in use, so switched them all off. Hey Presto, the car charged!!! The Powerlines have...

    Gen 1 ZS & Zappi

    Hi all, Anyone having problems with a Gen 1 ZS and Zappi charger? I've been using ours regularly with no problems until last week. I've started to leave the car plugged in overnight with the Zappi set to Eco+ mode in order to take advantage of early morning sun from our PV panels. It's now...

    MG ZS EV First MOT

    I appreciate the doubts about SOH. Having read about it on here, I challenged the garage as to whether it was really 100% or had they just made it up. They told me it was genuine, but the car had been moved out of the workshop and as they were closing up, did not offer to hook the car up again...

    MG ZS EV First MOT

    Hard to believe it’s 3 years since I bought my Gen 1 ZS. After 15,000 miles, yesterday was MOT day and, of course, it sailed through with no problems or advisories. They said the brake pads were virtually untouched, the front tyres 7 out of 10 and the rear tyres 8 out of 10. I had the annual...

    Weather decimates range

    A final postscript to the story. Despite putting a £20 pre-authorisation on my credit card (which disappeared the following day), Shell Recharge have not actually billed me for the charge in Horsham. 10 days on now, so hopefully it won’t appear. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Weather decimates range

    That’s a valid point. Alternatively, if the place we went to visit had destination chargers, then all would have been OK. Around 3 hours sat on a 7Kw unit would have sorted everything. As it is, the area we were in (Sussex) is pretty barren for all types of chargers.

    Weather decimates range

    Probably the most sensible thing to do would have been to not go. However, we’d paid for tickets to an event and as a Yorkshireman there was no way I was giving them up!!! Other than that, I don’t think there are many things I would have changed. The air con was only used as required to clear...

    Weather decimates range

    With the recent good weather, I've been really happy with the economy from the ZS. Over the past 700 miles I've been averaging around 4.2 miles/Kwh. However, that changed on Friday. We were due to do a trip out to visit somewhere that was 59 miles away. No problem for the return journey I...

    Wow, 200 mile range

    Know what you mean, but I’ve done 16 miles since then & it’s still showing 183 miles on the GOM!!!

    Wow, 200 mile range

    So I've been doing some fairly gentle 40 - 50 mph runs recently and been achieving ~ 4 mile / kwh. Certainly the somewhat milder weather has helped in this regard. Plugged the car in overnight to charge and when i turned it on this morning, the GOM was reporting a range of 200 miles in ECO...

    Musings

    I thought I would pen a few lines after a year living with the MG ZS EV. Although I’ve had a few new company cars when I was working, this has been the first new car I’ve bought personally. Having now retired, most of our journeys are local, so an EV seemed to make sense. My previous long term...

    Apple car play cutting off

    My Apple CarPlay was intermittent to start with. After changing the no name cable for a genuine Apple one, it’s been rock solid since.

    Comfort Pack 2 Update MG ZS EV

    I had the update done last week to my car which I purchased at the end of January. This was done at Bulldog MG of Twyford, Berks. As I’d bought the car through them, they offered it at half price - £52.80. I made the point to them that I thought it was a poor decision as I’d bought from them...

    2 cars to 1 ZS EV - Hi from a potential new owner

    Apple CarPlay was very intermittent for me to start with. Totally cured by using a genuine Apple cable.

    “Unofficial” ZS EV Accessories

    Hi Frank, Wow, there’s quite a bit of “bling” there ???. I’ll have to have a look around some of the other options. The LED interior lights arrived yesterday and they certainly seem to give an improved level of light in the passenger compartment & boot. I’d be interested in improved...

    “Unofficial” ZS EV Accessories

    On another forum I came across the Alibaba / AliExpress web site in China and decided to order a couple of accessories. The prices are very competitive, but can take 2 or 3 weeks to arrive. The replacement LED bulbs for the interior lights are still to turn up, but I’m well pleased with the...
