Had my ZS EV for 3.25 years. Initial software updates were buggy but got fixed over 12 months. But I did have one failure. After charging at a Tesco Rapid charger I could not charge at home. Was advised to get the AA out and the guy said that it was obviously a software issue out of AAs ability to fix. I had enough charge to return it to the dealer and so after giving them a call it was taken in a couple of days later and they reloaded a software fix and it has been as good as gold since. Only done 13k miles no sign of wear and tear, a little bit of surface rust under the bonnet on edges which didn't take paint so it will be worthwhile cleaning up and touching up.
The car could have better rear suspension but on long journeys it is easy to cover long distances despite having the original 42 kW battery. We have done 320 miles in the day with three shortish top ups which fitted in with bladder and recaffeination. Love the opening glass roof, was about to swap it for a newer one but no opening roof. So I didn't go ahead. I will be looking into the Volvo which is slightly smaller but has a pano roof and bigger battery. My wife would appreciate a slightly smaller car I think, we have a Passat Estate which has slightly better visibility for parking but the low seating doesn't help me with because of a disability.
