Kind of interesting article but always lacking in up-to-date, accurate info.

Look at your I-phone or Samsung phones for instance, they are (not solely) made in China. Just about anything with electrons in it is either partially or wholely made in China. If we are prepared to pay the extra for having stuff made 'in the West' but most peeps just aren't.

Hi Guys 'n gals, went to Guéret in the Creuse yesterday and came across lots of foundation and supply work going on outside Carrefour/Crescendo. Carrefour are installing 2 x 22 kw and 3 x 150 kw chargers. It looks as though if you've got a Carrefour fidelité card and if you use the 22 kw...

It may change things on an MG5, but on my gen1 ZS there is no heating button labelled "Econ" and the output of the HVAC is unaffected by driver mode selection.

What Eco mode is quite simple and I find very useful. It alters the 'map' for the accelerator pedal. In other words in Eco the pedal delivers softer power delivery than in Normal or Sport. It makes slow speed driving smoother and more pleasant; this in turn means you use less 'juice' in urban...

I use a good quality Leclerc double socket fed by heavy cable, then I plug the granny charger into that. It get's plugged in at about 11pm before I go to bed and unplugged at about 8am so the vast majority of my charging is on cheap rate. I find that gives me more than enough juice for the...

Supposed to be starting deliveries in mid 2023 from memory. Been following this project for a couple of years now, and they seem now to have 'got their ducks in a row' so to speak.

Well I watched the video and, to me, there are two big takeaways : 1. "Qilin battery will give 1000 kms range" - Oh will it, and in what vehicle? What weight? What powertrain ? NONSENSE. The battery on it's own does not solely determine range of an EV. It is merely a component - an important...

You don't say what it is you would be trying to achieve by doing this ?

I would have thought chinese deliveries to Europe would go straight to Rotterdam ?? Biggest container port in Europe isn't it ?

That's a really great suggestion, thanks my street.

Hi BE and thanks for your reply. My house has three phase coming into it, but when the 'Linky' the intelligent meter was installed I am told that I now have single phase. I don't normally like paying others for doing jobs that I could myself, but I can't help wonder if on this occasion it...

Hi all I live permanently in France now, own a ZS EV and charge 95% at home using a granny charger. I would like to buy a 7kw wallbox and install it at home, one of these should do the trick : Amazon.fr : borne de recharge vehicule electrique. I would like to know if I am going to need any...

Hi GG, not sure what you mean by that mate? Mine was bought brand new last sept as a run-out model before introducing the new version. After all the different French govt. subsidies and discounts my car cost me 15,500€ - full gttees and brand new.

Thanks very much Alb, seems a nice group here.

Well if there are any other ZS EV owners near me, let's have a get-together ??? 36140.

Hi guys 'n gals, the name is Dave, am now retired and love my ZS EV. I live in Central France, mainly charge the car at home and have done about 8600 kms since I bought her last sept.
