Reliability (seeking experiences from existing owner)

[neilp7865]

Wondering if any existing owners can help confirm their experience of reliability?

I’ve got my ZS LR in order (ordered Jan, expected Sep).

The owner reviews I read are generally positive. Couple of issues noted:
1) issues with charging primarily with Tesla / Gridserve
2) concerns on corrosion noted in another thread
3) parts availability is poor and a simple fix could result in extensive delays

I’m less concerned with (2.) as it’s a lease for 3y. I’ve historically had Japanese cars which to date have never let me down.

Have most had positive experiences with the ZS EV?

1) As it stands at the moment, you are unable to use the Tesla super charger network, but the U.K. government are working with Tesla on a possible deal to allow non Tesla owners to use them.
How many units they intend to open is unknown, but a statement is due in the near future, by all accounts !.
2) I would not concern yourself on this issue.
3) Spare parts availability can be a problem.
If you require an item that is NOT held in the U.K. stores network, then depending on the item, it can be a long wait.
We waited just over two weeks for one item and almost a month for the second item, to rectify the problem with the electric hand brake.
Both parts only cost a total of £160 but the care hire for four weeks must have been very expensive for MG.
