    Granny charger works only for a bit and then stops

    You may find holding the plug in to the car then locking the and then let go of the plug after the hand shake may work as the cable can be pulling down on the plug and can lose contact. Had this on my car as the scocket is so high up.

    MG ZS Trophy Long range - charging losses.

    Let’s put it simple it’s winter and you will lose range, keep warm and the windows clear and wait for the summer to come back. Some people drive around with no heat on just heated seats if they have them moan about windows steaming up just to get the most out of a charge. Not worth it or the...

    Battery Balance Public Chargers

    The car will tell you if you need to do a balance but it’s good practice to at least monthly do a balance charge. You say you use a 7kw charger so if you are set to 100% it will do a balance charge if needed even if the car has not indicted it needs doing. The battery management sorts this all...

    There had been some delays in this type of car because of chips needed for them, it’s still a new car just built then sitting waiting for the chips to come through, if built in the last 6 months or so you would not have the sunroof. My local dealer still has a blue one been in the showroom for...

    Replace the 12v battery if under a year warranty if over out of warranty as winter comes it may not survive. if under warranty book in to Mg and make sure the 12v is fully charged and they do a capacity test not voltage.

    Is it the fan or a/c that reduces range

    You have to take into a count that turning on the car has to get to the settings you have put in. Once you got that setting the amount of power used to keep at this setting will be reduced as it will be coming on and off. You see the big drop when you first turn on because the car is not at the...

    Parking charges at MFG Thirsk

    I think the government should step in here if they wish us to use EV with a fare parking when charging cars. No point having chargers then you can only stay 30 minute, it’s good that some of the charger company’s do over stay charge to try to stop people staying on the charger when the car is full.

    Public charging - Mostly good

    He must have broken the locking pin that locks the plug into the car, then removing the plug with the power on must have shorted with both pins that are live at 2.2kw mains power. When you open the car when charging this stops the car charging and open the plug locking pin. You should educate...

    HV battery shutoff when initiating rapid charge. Vehicle control system fault.

    I think that it has not had the updates in the software to stop this and the others in the post will agree as they have more experience than me.
