2022 software update?

[michaelgaunt]

Any news or rumours about software updates for the current version given the new version is being released now?

yup - costs about 50k - it's called the 2022 ZS EV - not a hope in hell they will do anything with the 'old' ZS EV now.

I guess we are talking about the original ZS EV getting the App functionality then ?????.
If so, I don’t think it will ever happen.
The car is not equipped with any of the hardware to make this possible.

50k? more like £30k!

Upgrade the old one and lose sales on the new one, I don't think manufacturers work like that, why not ask MG to do a bigger battery upgrade for the old ZS as well while your at it.

Funnily enough I was wondering if someone (maybe not MG) might do this.

A third party battery recycler may possibly do so at some time in the future, maybe in 8 or 9 years time when first ZS batteries are near the end of their life. But it would probably involve some software changes in the BMS to cope with the extra capacity.
I can't see MG doing it, they would probably just do a like for like swap.

I was thinking more about bug fixes and maybe some improvements they got from developing the refresh.
