That's pretty weird to be honest, here the service "never" include the maps. When we got our car a year ago, they said they would delay the delivery for one day because they needed to make sure the car was completely up to date with software as part of the pre-delivery checklist so the car had...

Usually MAP updates can be downloaded from MG's site, does MG not have a Australian site to download from ? I know its a longshot but have you tried the Europe site and just entered your VIN? I know it's a longshot but if you haven't tried, maybe give it a spin. The way to update maps is to...

Did all trims have this, i was under the impression that the "Trophy connect" was needed ? Or maybe that was just for live traffic and whatnot.

I am curious as to what an RCD would do for me if i run something off of the V2L. This is my thinking, please correct me if im wrong. The V2L in a car is essentially an IT system, meaning it is isolated from ground. RCD measures if current is lost to ground and trips if it detects less...

The V2L is mostly meant to power small'ish loads like stuff on a camping trip. You could power the house but you only get about 10A, so you would not be able to run anytghing powerhungry like stoves or ovens. I made the cable to do V2L and if power outages became a thing here and i wanted to...

What was the starting SoC and did you preheat the battery ? The Charge "speed" is dependent on what SoC the battery is at and the battery temperature. If the battery was "cold" that could definitely do it. Back in 2022 when we had our first, we charged at other chargers but in summer when...

We have ours in all the time....But this creates a problem, because when the car for some reason or another, powers on while parked and locked, the dongle is powered up and snags the bluetooth, so if i am in the middle of a conversation, suddenly the conversation is "in the car". If i go back...

Yes, the tik tok sound comes from the internal speakers, that's exactly why it is possible to adjust the volume of the blinker sound.

How would that shock you. This is how cars have worked for many many years. The way a car with incandescent lightbulbs indicate to you, that a bulb is blown is by using what is called a variable load relay, when all bulbs are working the load they put onto the relay makes it flash at the...

Where do they go, is it "just" the upper or lower ring that breaks away or is it more of a catastrophic "in the middle somewhere" so they totally collapse ?

To be honest out of the people i know that talks the most about and fears range anxiety the most, 9/10 are people that have a ICE car. They say the best cure against range anxiety is buying an EV :)

If this is something specific to your car it would seem the electrics in this specific car, is a bit of a dog’s breakfast.

Dogs can hear frequencies the rest of us can not. The motors are probably driven by some sort of frequency modulation, my guess is, the ZS EV emits some sort of "higher than audible for humans" frequency "whine" that your dog can hear. There can be subtle differences in how much whine each car...

Howcome, the MG ZS EV is a front wheel drive car.

Motor on the ZS EV is in front.
