    Common problems with the new ZS EV

    It's normal. The heating element is controlled with a PWM signal circuit, this switches the heater on and off repeatedly to achieve the set temp. The higher the temp difference the more rapid the clicks. Nothing to worry about.

    Interesting/worrying story from Scotland - ZS with no brakes.

    Saw this today on a ZSEV forum FB post (it's not from me) "Today my wife was driving to work, the car in front slowed down, she obviously braked. Nothing happened. She had to steer off the road to avoid the car in front, so the car ended up on the bank at the side of the road. A few minutes...

    MG ZS EV Vehicle to Load and Extension Cables

    I was going to do a home battery system diy using old Leaf batteries myself, but when you can get new dedicated 9.5kWh battery and inverter from GivEnergy for under £5k then I just went with that.

    Sure, but like I said its primary role for me is for Grid outage, so essentials id fine.

    MG ZS EV Vehicle to Load and Extension Cables

    We have a home battery system inverter (GivEnergy) that has an EPS (Essentials Power Supply) output which is auto switching (grid when available, battery when not) in event of grid fail and can handle 2.6Kw max. We have this wired through a separate consumer unit to the up and downstairs lights...

    anti collision emergency braking

    Auto Emergency Braking works with ACC on or off. On the times it's happened to me, when I've analysed the situation then it's been me that was wrong each time. As a human we make assumptions, like assuming a car is turning left at the next junction because their indicator is flashing. But what...

    HV battery shutoff when initiating rapid charge. Vehicle control system fault.

    There is a software fix exactly for this problem. My 22 ZSEV Trophy LR was bricked on its first Rapid charge in N Wales back in April last year. AA flat bed it back to my dealer in Swindon who contacted MG UK and they issued a software update for it. Its been perfect ever since.

    MG ZS EV Battery charging and balancing

    Not quite right. The thin wires to each series connected set of cells are there so that the BMS can detect the voltage of each series connected cell pack. If one of these cell packs voltage is higher than the rest by a pre determined amount then that individual cell pack is drained slightly...

    ZS not happy charging after using Discharge setting

    Sounds like it had a software glitch to me and somehow you've now managed to reset it.

    We need to talk about the software

    Yep, that process is exactly why it just needs to be selectable on a single keystroke.

    We need to talk about the software

    I've got a Mk2 ZSEV, in addition to your observations re the dash, Id like to see the following displays made available (all the data is already there, so just a software change): 1. Kw during charging, rather than seeing the volts and amps and then having to multiply to get the result. 2...

    Vehicle to Load (V2L) - Any Information or First Hand Experiences?

    Be very careful, the adapter I bought for a Kia to use with my MGZSEV had the resistor between different pins to those required by the ZSEV, plus the resistor value is different for the ZSEV.
