There is nothing in the manual of either the ZS EV or the 5 EV that states you cannot use a car wash. There is a limitation on not using an automatic car wash when using a space saver. There is also a warning on being careful when using a jet wash. Of course, whether automatic car washes are...

Back in the ICE days, ignition switches were simple(ish). You inserted the key, wiggled the steering wheel to release the steering lock (sometimes after much swearing because it would often get stuck!) and then you had four key positions to choose from: 0 or OFF -- everything off, steering...

@Lambiek V The easiest thing to do, just like @Adi6phil said, is to leave the car on and select neutral. FYI, if you ever want to over-ride the parking brake, you can either pull or push the parking brake button in whichever direction you want to over-ride it. For instance, if you want to...

My understanding is that this is indeed now resolved for most brands of charger. Unfortunately, Rolec isn't one of them.

I did get the Rolec Homesmart EV Chargepoint. With hindsight, it does not meet my needs. Rolec works well if you just want to plug in and charge. If you want to smart charge and schedule charging to coincide with cheap rate electricity, it will not work on any MG EV, without contacting their...

I can foresee occasions, once we’re out of lockdown, where I might well want the car on whilst charging, particularly at a rapid charger so that the heating or air con can be used whilst taking a charge.

If the car is still plugged in, it will deliberately not allow you to select D or R. So if it's in neutral and the parking brake is off, it will roll.

It doesn’t work for me either. They have said the same to me. They have deployed the latest update to the app and/or charger. It only works if they enable trickle charge mode. Without trickle mode, it will only charge when first plugged in. When it shuts down, with the intention of scheduling...

It is possible to test the supplementary transmission parking feature, if indeed it exists, with great care, by over-riding the electronic parking brake when you put the car into Park. I can confirm this works on the 5. I don't know about the ZS. Obviously, please make sure you do it safely and...

Sounds sensible enough

I looked at the MG 5 service schedule on the MG website and it appears the same -- I cannot see any work that needs doing in the 1st service at 1 year / 15000 miles. On paper, it appears that there is nothing to be done. Not even a replacement pollen filter. Surely that can't be true, can it?

That's interesting as it appears to be exactly the same for the MG 5. ev.energy said the same to me, which I have posted in the MG 5 section.

That's a good outcome :)

The way my installer put it to me was that if you have a 100 amp fuse you can pretty much go for any brand of charger. If you have a 60 amp fuse, then he can advise which brands have the facility to throttle the power to keep your installation safe. They have a current transformer (essentially...
