Parts of the MG ZS EV you've never seen before - we climb underneath an electric car and look around

For those that are interested, from Greg - Electric Car Australia (Note Aus release has BMS 2)

Thanks for sharing

Not too shabby.

The built quality of the ZS EV is pretty good I think. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice to see underneath

Interesting that he said there was a gearbox in the front....is that right ? I thought they would just have a dif. linking the motor to the wheels.

There's probably just a diff and a reduction or transfer gear in there I think.

I don’t think EV’s use differential gears. They rely on the software to manage the driveshaft outputs and braking to achieve the same thing. The drivetrain is a very simple transfer gear.

That little shelf at the back on top of the battery is handy for storing contraband.

Is there enough room for someone to climb in when i'm parked in Calais?

So much room for a larger battery option

Or an AWD motor ?

It has one motor connected to two output shafts, it has to have a differential! What is done with software doesn't alter this fact of engineering.

One motor at the front and one at the rear . MG ZS ev GT eh 300 bhp should be enough
