Hi – I new to posting on the forum but have been following for the past 20 months.
I’m amazed at the high volume of problems people seem to have.
I’ve owned both Gen1 ZS EV and for the last 14 months Gen2. I don’t know if I’m lucky or just able to read the manufacturers manual but the only problem I’ve had was the ‘clicking’ occasionally coming from the steering wheel/column. That was fixed last week by my local MG dealer replacing the complete steering column under warranty.
I’ve had the first service £115 and no software updates. I have a Rolec charger and British Gas Electric Driver tariff which cost me £0.04p/kW. Summer range 270ish miles. Winter range 210-230ish mlies.
Favourite winter feature - pre heat the cabin, just wonderful.
How I use my car
The picture is from Camperlands in Manchester – A great bunch of guys and girls.
Oh and the MG ismart App v2.02 just worked, no issues. It now only occasionally decides not to find the car, the fix to which is open it and close it again with the key fob. It’s a shame they didn’t enhance it. For me there is no ‘battery warming’ option, did that ever work?

How I use my car
- Drive it like I always have ICE cars
- Use the heater when its cold and aircon when its hot
- Keep it on regen 3 (default)
- I rarely bother with ‘Eco mode’ it reduces ability to warm/cool the cabin
- I find the Sat Nav surprisingly good
- Alternatively via Apple car play use Google maps set to satellite view and 3d mode. It defaults to full screen and in my opinion the easiest sat nav to follow. You can also verbally ask google maps to take you to a destination via the steering wheel button. So easy.
