Hi all,
Just had a test drive in a 2023 low-mileage ZS, when I had a look in the boot there was only a charging cable, nothing else.
I know that there isn't a spare tyre, but I thought there should at least be a jack and a tyre repair kit; there were cutouts as if something should go there.

I'll be on the lookout for a spare if anyone knows the best place to buy.
Thanks.
 
You should get an air compressor and tyre gunk but no jack.
You can buy tyre kits, wheel, jack and tools. check Ebay.
Was it a type 2 cable or a granny charger cable?

Type 2, but I need a granny charger; I don't have a proper charger yet, and I probably won't get one until the new year.
 
We have a 2021 ZS EV Australian version. It came with an MG granny charger ( 8 amp) a pump and repair goo to fix a flat.
We really don't like not having a spare tyre so bought one from the wreckers ( full size) and put it in the boot, with a wheel brace and jack.
It fitted easily once we took the foam piece out, all the repair stuff fits in the wheel well and the boot cover fits on no problems.

Oh and chargers are easy to get, there are usually many different types on ebay.
An adjustable charger that goes up to 15 amps is useful if travelling. We have one that adjusts from 6 amps to 15 so it is pretty useful if we stay in caravan parks where they have 15 amp outlets.
