The protocol for DC fastcharging is a LOT more complicated than the (can barely be called a) protocol used for AC charging. The DC charging protocol includes a LOT of different stuff that can be communicated, i bet the reason the Tesla charging does not work for MG's without a software update...

Their system is really strange for us "foreigners" 69 = September 1, 2019 until February 29 2020 But if it was registered between March 1, 2019 and August 31, 2019 it would be a 19 plate. Here it is not possible to figure out when it was first registered from the license plate alone, but...

He states that it is a 2021 and 100-120km on bad days, all of that indicate that this is a first gen ZS EV, i dont think there is any Tesla upgrade for the Charger, sadly.

Back in 1998 when i bought my current house, the insuranse company sent me a notice with the insurance form. It stated.....If any of the following types of lock is installed, the insurance does not cover and then pictures of the keys, one of which was my exact key. These were "simple" lever...

I was told, they flush the coolant out, with, supposedly normal tap water, when it has been rinsed out completely, they flush the water with new coolant.

I have an agreement with them to look at the typical clicking sound, to see if bolts needs tightening, discs needs replacing or steering rack needs replacing, if they are efficient, they could have the computer put on, doing it's thing while they do the inspection and so on. They have allocated...

Sounds like a completely different experience than i have with mine that has R25 and thus, the older stuff in the other modules. I wonder if the "Gold service" subscription i have with the MG certified workshop will do these upgrades as well. Massive disapointment, that such an update for the...

Here it is also done at the 4 year service. I would imagine the £500 is the full service, not just the system flush and replacement of fluid ?

Being from Denmark, the links i could offer would probably not be of help :) This is the link to the one i bought in Denmark. If you do a search for "Car Battery Disconnect" you will probably get some links for some "local" shops, selling something like it. I also added a picture of it...

Exactly. Some are 1. Pay 2. Plug in Some are 1. Plug in 2. Pay / start Another thing i have seen quite a lot is people claiming that they have difficulties at chargers here in Denmark if they dont turn off or lock their cars. Seen multiple where they say "To get it working i" 1. Turn the...

Yeah, the sudden drop in SoC is also something my wife has experienced in the ZS EV. One day she drove from home to her work and parked up, when she came back the SoC had dropped almost 10% and suddenly her situation went from "I will arrive at home with about 12% SoC" to "I really dont want to...

Also known as a 10mm reset. I put a battery quick disconnect on mine just for this reason, you just unscrew a knob a bit, this is manageable even for my wife. She has been told, if she experiences problems with the car, she should try doing the reset, waiting 5 minutes before connecting it...

It's not "dangerous" to go, even below 10% if you know the distance to a supercharger and know it is in range. Only caveat is, if the temperature is low and the battery is not very warm, then i would not go below 15%, my wife has one time been in a situation where she was 5 miles from home, the...

Nope, 42.5KW usable NMC battery

Yes it is updated to latest, mine is the 2.gen so maybe there is a difference in when the USB port is powered on.
