    How big is the MG ZS EV battery?

    I recently charged my MG ZS EV long range to 100% using a type 2 connector. It performed well, charging at 10 kWh. The charge started at 29%, and when full, Endesa informed me that I had used 52.89 kw. So dividing by 71, and multiplying by 100 gives a figure of 74.5 kw. Is the battery really...

    On my MG ZS EV 2022, when in cruise control the regen (KERS) does not seem to function when descending a hill, however I was given an MG 5 as a courtesy car today and on that one there does appear to be regeneration happening- the power display turns negative.

    Initial thoughts - moving from Kia E-Niro 2020 to MG

    The positives - the app and remote control, panoramic roof, lots of toys, charging flaps, 360° camera, BSW, amazon music heated seats and steering wheel, touchscreen, 11 kW AC charging. Downside - no sunglass holder, manual dip on rear mirror, no regen on cruise control (why?), Intelligent speed...
