Hi, good choice and you will be fine. Much already said. A vote for Zapmap. Knowing where the public chargers are and what you need to do to use them is handy esp on a longer trip. Longer trips are fine but do need a bit of planning. I work out where I am going to stop and what I need to charge...

Hi, sorry, I have just realised that my car is still on the spreadsheet. A Silver SE LR (yes a rare SE-cheapskate that I am) ordered from Chorley on 5th November. I gave up in April when it still had not been built and they were saying a September delivery, which was simply the standard 4 months...

I had the same discrepancy between my order date with the dealer and MG's order date. I ordered a LR on 5th November (Chorley) and during exchanges with MG direct they told me the order was placed with them in December. So, as others, I apparently lost a month before any other factors kicked in...

Hi, I haven’t used that one but you are correct, there is a a 50Kw charger there. However, I think it is is now 49p KwH. There are lot’s of places to get a type 2 cable, you will only need one for the 7KW AC chargers, others may have different views but I would still get a cable. I am out of...

Hi, check which cables it comes with. The 3 pin (aka Granny) charger is standard but you could do with a type 2 as well. Rapid chargers have their cables attached to the machine, the ones at MacDonalds at Kew are 50kw Instavolt which is a very reliable company (little pricer than some). You will...

Of course, I’ll try. The rambling below is inevitably very subjective. I don’t have much empirical evidence and can’t directly compare the two side by side. The best thing with any vehicle is to take one for a test drive to see if it is right for you. I must stress I was very happy with my MG...

Hi, as per reply to Harry, a citroen e c4.

Hi Harry, sure. I don’t think there is not much point in looking for an exact cost/spec match as MG’s are exceptional value. However, as my new MG had still not been built after 5 months, and with me making all the running on communication, I got fed up. I looked for something that was “near by"...

Hi all, probably the last dip into the forum from me. I have driven a mk 1 MG ZS EV for just short of two years and have learnt a lot from this forum; and contributed a tiny bit. If you own a ZS or have one on order then keep looking at the forum as it is a gold mine of useful information from...

Hassle the dealer to throw in a type 2 cable, like we used to haggle over car mats :). If no dice then they are not ruinously expensive to buy, lot's of sellers.

Do you know if that is that a SR or a LR car, I assume ZS and not an MG5?

I think it's all been said, but I would agree with the view that you are best taking it to a dealer if you can. Software updates direct from MG as well as the normal service for an EV which is cheaper than ICE anyway, plus another year AA cover. However, sus out your dealer. The one I bought...

I know that the three types of notice MG give to dealers (built, shipped, landed) are correct. They get very little else. I do not know the average time between those notifications. I ordered in Nov, not built yet.

I am in the same boat (no pun). I ordered Nov too, and car not built yet. I wonder if most of the MG ZS cars that are here are SR not LR as MG had a stock built before the launch of that model; so some were ready. I know there are one or two LR's about, some dealer demos and one or two that have...

I have some reservations about the ownership of the company. Not a “made in China” bias/quality thing, I think it’s pretty good quality, I really like the car. It’s also true that so much is made in China that it seems a little nonsensical to reject product A whilst still buying product B. It is...

Almost exactly the same e-mail I got when I went direct to MG, having got the 10 digit number from the dealer. Only difference was they said July for me (ordered Nov)

SE Long Range Silver 5 November 2021 Chorley Latest is July (originally told Feb, but not even built yet)

I am waiting for a LR SE ordered from Chorley on 5th November. Like everyone I have been eagerly looking at the shipping updates hoping my car was on one of the boats. I have an un healthy interest in the comings and goings at Portbury! However, I now know it's not even built yet-so will stop...

Welcome indeed. The MG was my first EV owned (2nd EV I test drove) and I have been very pleased with it. I am sure you will get on fine with yours. As others have said I would get Zap-Map or similar esp for longer runs and also suss out where your local public chargers are-and which firms...

I can find nice cars (e-niro, Ioniq) but it is hard to find something with a similar range for the price. The MG cars are well equipped too, and I like my Mk1. I thought about a Soul and watched that video when it came out but despite it I went for the MG and have no regrets. I think the Soul...
