braking

Regen breaking is not working as it usually does. The battery is not fully charged, so it's not that. Does the cold weather have an adverse effect on the regen brake?

Has anyone else noticed that the regen braking does not seem to work when on cruise control? I have now seen the same thing in two HS PHEVs, so thinking that this might be a common thing. When in adaptive cruise control, the power does not go below 0 % when the car slows down. If I disengage...

I have owned my ZSEV Mk1 since September 2020 and still love the drive. I took it to my Service Dealer - Chorley Motors MG in Burnley last week for its second service and as always, they did a superb job. On collecting the car, I asked if there where any updates and they said - "yes they had...

I have just upgraded from a ZS EV non facelift to a facelift Trophy Long Range. One of the first things that I noticed was that the regen braking seems weaker. Do other people who have gone from a non facelift to a facelift feel the same?

Hi all, I've just seen some posts from @Bamboo and @RichRead about brake issues with their ZS EVs, thought I'd add our experience as well as this doesn't seem to be a small issue. We've got a 2021 ZS EV bought in June from new. For the first 7 months the car was fine. We'd noticed that...

All of the Stability control & Hill Descent Automatic energy braking Fault instruments indicate conjoined fault has anyone had this on a 2 year old MGZS EV

So the other day while filtering in the left lane on green lights and a lorry on the right lane held on red lights an eScooter appears from in front of the lorry, fairly quickly - completely disregarding any traffic around him and any road and crossing laws. I was on the brake quickly but...

So on youtube I just learnt that when you press your foot on the brake it is similar to having KERS3 on... it will regen your battery when you press the brake. I didn't think it did. So you could technically drive around in KERS1 and if you could use your brake efficiently it would regent the...

Had an interesting experience the other day. Driving along a major street in town, when I noticed a chap approaching the junction on my left at speed, and wondered if he was going to stop at the junction. I was getting ready to brake or take evasive action, but my car was way ahead of me and...

I recorded this on my dash camera today: I'm assuming the Tesla itself initiated the emergency braking manoeuvre rather than the driver but I'm wondering whether that very small deviation from the lorry actually justified the reaction? Lane 3 was clear so the driver could have moved to the...

I've noticed that I get quite of lot of regen. when actually braking, as opposed to allowing the kers to slow the car down, great, but can anyone tell me how that actually works?

A couple of times recently my car brakes suddenly when a car in front is doing a left turn and I am nowhere near it and no danger it’s quite alarming and doesn’t sound like it’s doing the brakes any good crunching to a halt. How can I turn this feature off and will it stay off or do I need to...

Hi All, On occasions I get a message on the dash of my 5 LR saying something along the lines of 'Autonomous Emergency Braking Unavailable'. Anybody else get this? The message generally goes away after the car has been turned off and back on but that's not very convenient to do when in the...

Thank you to all who responded to my thread 'Dangerous unexpected braking!!' I contacted the dealer (Baylis Gloucester) who have today installed a software update. Hopefully the problem is resolved.

Hello I have had my ZS EV since April. I have had a few occasions when the brakes would come on momentarily at low speed. Today however, I was traveling at 40 mph when the brakes came on unexpectedly causing great alarm to me and the car behind! I had noticed that the information center (the...

My father's one month old ZS EV is making a loud, strange, disconcerting noise when the MG Pilot is decelerating, especially when coming to a complete stop (traffic jam assist?). Only tested in KERS mode 3. It doesn't make the sound when using the brake pedal. The best way I can describe it is...

One of the clever ways that electric cars conserve electricity (to extend their range) is by recovering it when braking or slowing down. Exactly how they do this doesn't really matter so long as it works. It's called by various names by different manufacturers and organisations. Some refer to...

Hi All, has anyone had a warning notice come up saying, regenerative braking limited, please use brakes??

Hello All, I always wondered how and when does the regenerative braking put back mileage/range back into the battery? I'm assuming it will do this when the car is turned off and the battery starts to settle? I say this because last night after a long trip, the range to empty was at 40 miles...

Has anybody else had this issue? Using the new comfort software update if that is of help, cant find any record of this error within the user manual or any google search! any help appreciated!
