    Which to buy : MG4 or MG ZS both Trophy Long Range

    I was a very happy, early adopter, of an ZS EV Exclusive which I sold at near purchase price after 3 years. Range anxiety led me to try a MG4 Long Range as dealers weren't taking oderes for the ZS EV and I was impressed with the handling and styling and took delivery of one last November. I soon...

    Parked for 3 weeks... bird poop was the worst problem

    After 33 months the bodywork on my ZS EV is still like new despite bird poops, pollen and of late battling narrow country lanes with overgrown hedges and oncoming cars. Why? A professional Diamondbrite body protection job. It cost +/-£250, less than ½ of the offer from the MG dealer. I will...

    Tempted to sell my 12/2019 ZS EV

    My initial range anxiety has abated and driving the ZS EV Exclusive has been a great experience. The residual value from the likes of webuyanycar and others is astonishing. As the months tick by the value of my car gets closer to what I paid. I'm being seduced by the reviews of the new MG4 EV...

    MG ZS EV parked up for 2 months

    I need to leave my car parked up for two months and seek advice on what battery level it's best left on and if perhaps on a low amp granny charge. Appreciate guidance.

    MG ZS EV Facelift - Have you ordered?

    Interesting to note that a number of members have already placed orders for the MK2 EV. I called on the MG dealer in Southampton yesterday and got a look at the facelift ZS EV and liked what I saw. However, not only would it have been illegal to test drive that car but the guy I spoke to...

    Test Drive ZS EV - Wow

    All I had to do to convince the boss-lady was to to take the test drive, 18 months ago. Irresistible!

    Breakdown

    I had the same problem at a motorway services +200 miles. Richmond, Southampton could give me no support or advice😫! AA came out after two hours and although clueless about MG ZS EV's got me going after connecting his laptop and resetting 'things'👍🙏. Other semi technical issues which my MG...

    Boot not locking

    This Forum rocks💯%. I couldn't see anything about in the handbook and the MG Service Dept knew nothing about this either. You guys did! Quite a useful feature as I do all the shopping so many thanks.

    Boot not locking

    Initially I thought the warning light on the dashboard meant that the boot lid wasn't closed properly. On investigation I found the lock was failing to engage. At the time, just before this lockdown, we had luggage on board and we're concerned having to leave the car unattended during stops on...

    Motorway charging

    I hasten to add that it is well worthwhile getting an account and an RFID for the Scottish government's scheme which includes many fast chargers. The RFID card cost £20 per annum and I believe you can then get charging for free. Sadly for visitors these chargers cannot be used via an app. CHECK...

    Motorway charging

    Having just completed a 1500 mile road trip around England and Scotland I felt other ZS EV owners may find these observations. Wherever possible I used ZapMap to find CCS Chargers, an essential aid if motorway service chargers don't work on MGs. I had several close calls where ECOTRICITY...

    And now, we wait...

    I'll be visiting Portishead for a few days early next week in my white Exclusive which is now 9 months old. Still a joy to drive but the inability to recharge during off-peak 5p/Kw is a nuisance.

    Which Upgrade would you like next for the ZS EV? In-car time programmable charging?

    Having now had my ZS EV for 9 months the thing I really think is essential is for vehicle timed charging. It's an absolute pain to lock the car and start the charging immediately, before retiring for the night. My 5p/Kwh tariff with Octopus doesn't start until 00.30. I believe EVs which have had...

    Is MG ZS EV timed charging now working 100%? And are Andersen chargers ok?

    Sorry, I didn't realise this thread existed when I posted my version of this ongoing problem. It's almost comforting to know I'm not alone!

    MG ZS car aerial

    The OEM aerial was hitting the opened garage door. I bought a stumpy, good quality, aerial from eBay for £5. No problem with signal strength.

    Reserved charging problem

    To maximise the benefit of full electric I switched my energy supply to Octopus which gives me a £0.05/Kwh rate between 00.30 and 04.30. The app for the charger I've had installed enables me to set the start time to benefit from this rate by enabling "reserved charging". All good so far. Several...
