I dont know how other dongles work, but i can tell you my experience with the AA Wireless. Positives : Works great, connects fine and so on. Negatives : The car wakes up at relevant intervals, which powers on the USB port, powering up the AA, this makes the car power up bluetooth which means...

Hi This post is mostly for the future if someone comes looking, i had a search on here and found only one mention of this and it was an open ended one where the initial poster, did not come back to post an update. So last thursday the wife drove to work in the ZS EV, when she finished work and...

No, the car onboard charger actually does not signal to the box if it wants one or 3 phases, it turns out. It gets a "signal" from the box about what the max current it is allowed to draw, asks the charger to please connect the power and then it senses on the inputs what it is getting....1...

That's a complete lie. The cable is literally just 2 connectors, a lenght of wire and a resistor. There is nothing in the cable that can affect the charging....Other than if there is a bad connection but that would lead to something getting warm and that would be visible. If this were true...

Yes, i was just unsure if you understood that this is exactly what is generating the message. Seems you did then.

Offcourse, but as you can see, the chemistry is not able to source or accept nearly as high amounts of energy when cold, so even at lower than 90% SoC, the battery will struggle to accept, maybe even only 10-20KWh from the motor at full regen braking and that's why it will warn you, that it...

At lower temperature the battery does not lose actual energy, but the car might limit the cars ability to extract all of that energy. I have a friend that is better at explaining it i think :) (The 55KWh was its response to a previous question, not something i just made up myself)...

As others said...To preserve power (TPMS sensors are battery operated) the sensor will only send a signal if the tyre rotates. Last pressure you have in the dash, before driving off, will be from the last drive, where the tyres were probably nice and warm (Friction heats them up, even in cold...

Yes, but when the car does regen braking it actually charges with quite a lot of amps, so if the battery is cold it might now want to accept that many amps. The charge curve indicates that at 90% SoT, under ideal conditions you can only put 20KWh into the battery, so if it is really cold that...

The capacity to store the energy is not the only factor limiting this function. If the battery is cold, it will not be able to accept as much power as when it is at running temperature. So if your battery is pretty cold and the charge is at 90%, it might not be able to accept the current the...

Which module ? The car has so many different modules with it's own software. The only software version you can really get is the infotainment one, it can be found in the settings menu. The rest...Well you need an OBD dongle and ZSe software, but even with that, all yo get is the software...

I have a Tesla also, owned it 2 years 8 months, all updates have been done over the air, have not once had to take it to Tesla to have software done and this is every single module onboard they update so it is totally possible to do the updates over the air. The MG....It gets no updates other...

In Denmark the ZS EV 2.gen is also only rated for 500 kg so unless you have a very small and light caravan, it's probably not going to be an option for you to (legally) tow your caravan. Tow hitch on the 2.gen MG ZS EV is primarily for a small to medium trailer of max 500 kg

Here it was more of a "can" be updated, so technically they did not lie. As always with chinese stuff "CAN be updated via OTA" does not mean "WILL be updated via OTA" Still pretty poor of them, here it was a selling point in the fact that the "Luxury" trim had it, but the "Comfort" trim did...

The version can be different between the the "standard" and "luxury" versions (I think they are labelled differently but the one with and without the sunroof) But no matter what version you have, i think you are right, this car has never seen an actual infotainment update. (Probably no update...
