I have an MG ZS EV Mk1 in Melbourne and the 12 v battery started playing up at around 12 months. It just seems to be on the way out with readings of around 12 volts. The dealer has checked it out and says it is ok but I doubt it will last once the weather gets colder. Makes sense to trickle...

The automotive industry is bashing EVs on all media to buy time while they are re-gearing themselves to produce electric vehicles. Major car manufacturers have discontinued the development of new petrol engines and are flat-out designing new EVs.

Yes. Good point.
