Just picked up this thread, and glad you are driving again. I live in France, and have used a timer on my dedicated 16amp garage socket to get the off-peak benefit, for more than 2 years now. It works well with the granny fed under the garage door and hung outside ready for use. Btw my two...

I live in France, ZS v1, low usage 17k km in 19 months. I plug into ordinary wall socket with cable coming out under the garage door. However I take advantage of off peak charges by plugging into a socket which works on a timer. (Konyks is the make but lots of others available from Amazon etc...

Living in France with temp hovering around 32-36C, have noticed a fan coming on from time to time. Stops when car turned off.

Just to say that Crit'air is only for certain big cities. As a French resident , I haven't needed one so far!

Sorry - RIB is French term for IBAN or bank account details

From 1/7/22 there will be a series of 50kwh and more chargers installed round France, with at least 6 chargers per site. It is my understanding that they are cheaper than the autoroute ones. If you use the Izivia app then you can see them. Btw, as a regular local user of this app, I have started...

Living in France, I can only repeat from earlier entries. Is speed of journey more important than enjoying Route National and the range of views. (Note that speed limits vary from department to department at 80 or 90 kph). Is cost an important issue within speed, so that you are prepared to...

Barrie - here is the full battery range 371km in E, 336 in N and 320 in S . Due to go to garage later in month as some idiot broke my wing mirror, and also to discuss lack of kers and braking on a curve ( both while using ACC)

Barrie, I have never been able to achieve the range indicated. I cannot explain why , when driving out of our village at 30kph, I lose 3 km of range every time . I do a regular 80km round trip , including a steep dip and climb, but with the rest virtually flat, that loses 130km with an average...

In reply to your queries re 300+km, my car ( currently on charge with granny ) is at 92% showing 302km in Normal and 336 km in Eco. The voltage is 442V at the moment. For completeness, it is a MK1 LHD European, and the 3rd photo shows SW version. My garage in Cognac are not MG experts...

I have the original model, and generally charge at home. Typical range is 330km at the point of full charge ! If you look at the battery voltage at full charge, it should show about 445V. If it is less, then you need to equibralise. Any recharge other than at home will adversely affect voltage...

Just thought I would post (paraphrased) some of the 'interesting' messages that I have received on the little screen. 1. Rgen not available , use brakes. Occurs when battery is 99% full and doesn't need top up 2. Front camera can't see. It's misted up - my car stored outside and got v cold...

I believe that it was 'claimed' on a YouTube video, but I can't recall which - sorry

I find that pushing stalk forward to disengage CC is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it tells you it's worked by display, others it just starts slowing, and others it seems to engage Pilot without me noticing. My interpretation of the yellow display is that there is a CC speed limit stored, and by...

If you are going via France , use ABRP and chargemap as a basis, but remember that, like for ICE, autoroute services are v expensive. I am waiting for someone to create an app like Gas Now, to tell where the off autoroute stations are close to junctions. In France , I have currently 3 cards for...

Gomev, remember that I am still a newby to this EV, but for example a 5% increase in WLTP due to an update is small in itself, but can give 10km extra in autonomy. As we all know, WLTP is an almost impossible target to achieve, but if it 'fools' a user's expectation , then IMO, it comes under...

I have just seen on YouTube , I believe from an Indian site, a way of displaying overview version numbers. I tried looking for it on this forum and couldn't find it, so here goes: 1. Press start without pressing brake pedal. Yellow light on start button. 2. Press setup on Info screen 3. Select...

Thanks to all for your comments, and I find it difficult to argue with them, especially macd2401 over his mates. My Dieselgate reference is the thought that if a bit of software is updated and has a significant impact on consumption, then my question might be, was the original WLTP totally wrong?

Having spent all my working life in the software industry, including support, problem management and customer satisfaction, I am absolutely shocked by the way MG are apparently NOT managing software, firmware and hardware evolution. Looking casually through the forums, it is clear that , in the...

Cocijo .When one is in the situation I was in, one doesn't have time to notice the little light on the dash! I hope never to do that again. It didn't help that my somewhat doubting partner was with me!
