The MG ZS EV Mk1 has a number of little things (like no cloth seats and no passenger electric seat adjustment and no forward sensors) which could have been attended to whilst omitting some expensive things like the sunroof. But mine has been reliable, enjoyable to drive and it enabled me to go...

Another thing to remember is that the MG is normally left hand drive and the right hand drive may not be quite as well designed. There have been some minor issues with the steering so I would not be pushing the envelope.

My lane keep assist works perfectly, nine times out of ten. But jokes aside, I have found it good where the lanes are clear - I have it on highest sensitivity. It makes driving on the open highway much more relaxing. I only use it on freeways or highways though. It does not seem to mess me about...

I would certainly check there is no moisture in the cabin. EVs do not have a hot engine helping to dry them. If nothing else works you may be able to buy one of those packets of crystals that you put in cupboards to keep them dry and put it in the boot. Additionally, always drive with the air...

Fourteen months and I am obsolete.

I have had a short range MG ZS EV for about fourteen months. I only fully charge it about every month to balance the battery. I have a Zappi charger which charges it at 6.8 kW which effectively gives me 40 km range per hour charging. So I let the car get down to about 100 km range and charge it...

I use lane keep assist on my MG ZS EV and on open country roads I find it make it much easier to steer. I have it on the highest sensitivity and you should check yours is on the maximum sensitivity setting. I saw this on this site.

I am in Australia and work in km and I have a short range "original" MG ZS EV. The way I charge is to run the car down to about 100 km and charge it for two and a half hours on a Zappi 6.8 amp charger to bring it up to 200 km of its 265 km full charge. I have an Apple iPhone and just tell my...

Remember to wrap it shiny side out.

Maybe. I think the best chance Australia has is the teal wave. These are high-profile independents who are concerned about climate warming. The Labor Party has a majority in the lower house this election but after the next election I expect a political party will have to have the support of the...

In Victoria, Australia, I am paying a $2.50 per 100 km road tax. This works out at more than what Toyota hybrid drivers getting 5 litres per 100 km are paying in petrol excise. Petrol excise per 100 km is 22 cents x 5 = $1.10; less than half what I am paying. On an energy consumption rate, I am...

All cars are complex these days. However, just as you do not need to understand petrol engine timing in order to drive a petrol car you do not need to understand differences in battery technology to drive an electric car. In fact, it is easier to drive an electric car. As for charging, if you...

I live in Melbourne and on the MG ZS EV Owners Australia Facebook page there is a post and discussion re condensation. The situation seems to disappear if you use the air conditioner and through-flow ventilation. The car dries out and stays dry. One person posted, "Doesn't help that if you use a...

Apparently no LR for Australia.

I was getting some noise but I think it was my sunglasses in the glasses compartment.

Yes. I was wondering about that. I have been using mine in medium.

In Victoria, Australia, we have a pay per km tax which is almost triple what we should be paying. These are Australian figures but you could work out the situation in Britain. It looks at battery and petrol in terms of energy equivalence. The average EV owner in Victoria is paying about twice as...

On the MG ZS EVs in Australia, I am pretty sure they turn on if the rear window demister is turned on.

I would only want sounds. Not a display.
