I've left mine unlocked for 2 days outside my house by accident and nobody bothered with it. They probably think, chinese MG, who would want one lol (I do)
I only have the single phase cable so therein lies the reason I only get the full 7kW on a 7kW "charger" and less on the 22kW "charger". Thanks for the info, every day is a school day lol. No idea where we would be if we only relied on the dealerships for info lol.
I understood that both the facelift MG ZS and MG 5 did not get the 11kW AC capability because the majority of UK homes were single phase. Maybe coincidence but whenever I have connected to the 22kW "chargers" they have always given me less than 6kW but I have always had the full amount when...
We have had problems today and yesterday with gridserve chargers when we tried to charge our facelift ZS EV Trophy model. We found that we had to tell the car to start charging using the app or the infotainment screen. No problems with Gridserve when we do it that way now.
You may find that...
Use Rainex on the windscreen and Rainex antifog on the inside to reduce misting up, that will save a bit of battery for you. When travelling longer distances try to plan a Rapid charge for when you expect to be at 30 to 40% left and then charge up to 80% as the charge rate really slows down when...
I also have the PodPoint charger but I used the car for 10 months before I got it installed and had no problems managing without it. Having a Tesco with the free chargers close by was one of the reasons I why I did not rush to get my home charger installed and I only really got it because the...
In order to release the brake the drivers seatbelt needs to be fastened, press footbrake and push down on the toggle brake not the centre of the selector dial after pressing the start button. Be careful as the car will start moving as soon as you take your foot off the brake and if you press...
Never knew that, only had the car 10 months lol. Quite a lot of other bits I don't know but when the wife gets her Trophy LR on Monday I may get a few more chances to drive mine and find out all these extra things that the car does.
Doesn't the MG5 give you any externalindication that it is charging? I have never parked next to an MG5 whilst it was charging but most of the EV's I have observed have had a light in the vicinity of the charge socket that indicates it is charging.
I looked at the Affinity Programme before ordering the new ZS EV Trophy but it was not an option, just the Mk1 (which I already have). I have filled in the motorfinity enquiry form but have never had any reply from them
I had that problem once on my ZS when I opened the car and then started talking to another EV owner. When I finally stopped talking I could not pull out the plug. I tried locking and unlocking etc, even phoned the dealer who recommended I do what I had just done. I could start the car and I...
When using cruise control in the ZS EV the speed of the car is controlled by the throttle and the brake so if for instance you start going down hill and the car goes above the desired speed it will use the brakes to slow it down and therefore you lose out on the regeneration you would get if you...
