Both front and rear are still good after 32000 miles.... I must be driving like a saint...:)

I changed my battery in the keyfob last month. 3 years and 3 months. Nothing is stored in the key, just a code to open the door and validate the car start etc...

When I applied, the negative reply was because my charger was not compatible, the one Octopus installed for me...!!

I would assume the radio will still be broadcast on the present DAB system. Like FM is. Will there be a need to have a DAB+ radio??

I would think the GOM bases its "Guess" on the Miles per KW in the Accumulated trip figure. If you zero that, the "Guess" goes back to the MG default figure.................. Yes/no???

My experience on the MS ZS EV MK1 is that the GOM is not based on the last 15 minutes' worth of driving. I regularly do a motorway journey of 50 miles there and back. Thus if the GOM is working on that last 15 minutes, it should predict a reasonably low mileage left in the tank. But I find that...

Personally, I have never had a problem with Gridserve. They are putting several chargers in popular places. And they are sooo much better tan Ecotricity..

My Octopus Go ran out last month. They have put me onto Octopus Flexible, and now I pay 34p/Kwh. And no cheap rates. I have asked several times to go back to Go, but the web page just runs me around in circles. Even at 34p, a weekly fill up is still in the order of £12, which is pretty cheap...

Are you sure you don't have the key in your pocket...

I fully charge my ZS every time, maybe once a week. You do need to balance the batteries, and the range is little enough without only partly charging the battery. Battery degradation is really a very minor consideration. It will be several years before you notice much difference, by which time...

I don't think battery replacement is a realistic option. The rest of the car will probably be only good for the scrap heap then, and most likely well out of date technically. My first EV was the little Citroen Zero. 10 years old when I sold it, still with a workable battery. I reckoned it would...

My first EV, a Citroen Zero stopped at about 80%. I have only ever gone up to about 95% on the ZS, when on a rapid charger, and a long journey ahead.... Otherwise when using a rapid charger, I tend to take whats needed to get home, with a reasonable margin...

Can't help, but it is a nightmare. If I have the similar problem, I do usually ring up the provider, their phone number is usually/always on the charger, and see what the problem is. My last failure was when I had changed a Debit card, my fault as I had not updated the app. There are too many...

The voltage in the battery matches the charger whilst on charge, or nearly anyway. Can only advise from experience with lead-acid batteries, true voltage can only be seen 30+ minutes after a charge. Thus the mileage on the EV is calculated using voltage amongst other values, so will be high...

Aaaa, did not realise it was a lease type car. Is it not insured fully comp?? In the end, £500 is just that, over three years its not a massive hit...Good luck, and keep the wife...:-)

Yes ref the queue for the charger, get out of the car and go and chat with the car on the charger. He/she might know who is next as a result. If there is more than one waiting, go and find another charger if you can. Alternatively get Tesla and use their multi chargers at m/w sites..:)

$hi* happens, and its only a car, should not be too precious...:-(

What car is your EV? If you look at the Miles/KW, then divided that into the £0.32, and that will give your your fuel cost per mile. Should still be reasonably competitive with ICE, AND you are not polluting the streets...:-)

That's the only way to do it. Plug and leave....I'm it's master not it's slave so to speak. :-)

I have had that problem twice. Once at traffic lights (not charging at the time!), and once after a rapid charge on the M4. I find it can get its kni****s in a twist if switched off and back on too quickly. Think computer, switch off and wait for 10 seconds...In desperation disconnect the 12v...
