MG Europe Battery Heater Update (released to Norwegian ZS EV owners on 30th Dec 20)

[Mark Holmes]

I would suggest that the GOM calculates its estimated range from the HV battery remaining power.

I wouldn't advise that anyway, when my low battery warning comes up the power is reduced to between 20 & 40 percent, at 20 percent its not nice to drive and could be dangerous

I noticed that the other day, slowing down while going up a 10% hill from 30mph to 25mph flat out! Power was limited to 30% maximum.

I would suggest that the GOM calculates its estimated range from the HV battery remaining power.

and the ambient temperature as well as how it has been driven for the last few miles.

me too...I have now had the car a full year so know its range in all seasons... recently only got 75 miles from a full charge...interesting o note though when placed on charge again at home ( 7kW) it only took 4 hours to indicate fully charged ( 137 miles ) So I am now wondering if display is faulty... As some of you , my dealer is Perkins at Rayne..so lets see if they can do their magic on the 11th

They are my dealer as well, do let us know how they deal with it. Personally so far since September and updates we have been okay with them.

Just to bring back on topic.

This thread topic is about the battery heater update. I’m only aware of @MG ZS WEST YORKSHIRE EV and myself having had the update in the UK, but if you have, then please let us know.

There is another thread about reduced range with the July BMS update where you can charge the car while unlocked. This is a separate issue as far as I’m aware, so please post on that thread.

Otherwise you will confuse readers.
