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...

Range is related to how the car was driven in the last X miles. If the previous owner did a lot of motorway driving in the last X miles, the expected range available for a given state of charge will be lower. The "remaining miles" is often, for good reason called the "Guess-O-Meter"

Was this DC chargers ? The 22KW sounds a lot like what we have here in Denmark for AC Destinations chargers. 3 phase 32A Very few cars accept more than 11KW on these though, but that's due to the onboard charger not being able to do more. Most domestic households only have 3 phase 16A, so...

Does these free DC chargers specifically state they can do more than 30KW ? I have read that some places that have free charging puts a time and charge wattage limit on their chargers. Chargers could also be load sharing, if there are more than 1 charger, it might have to share the incoming...

When i bought ours i made a service contract with them, i pay a monthly fee and this then covers the yearly service including all the materials needed to do, what is mentioned in the service book. They also said it would include updating the software, i of course assumed that would mean, they...

I think that's only on the first gen. cars. Second gen, has a voltage readout in one of the menu's in the digital instrument cluster, you just have to press left or right on the right cluster of directional keys on the steering wheel, one of the 4 menu's have the 12V battery voltage.

It is very easy to test if the onboard 12V battery charger, actually charges the battery. Measure the voltage on the battery with the car off. 12.6 volt is fully charged and anything below 12V is pretty much a depleted battery. After than, put the car into READY mode and measure the voltage on...

I had that text also in our first MG. First one text saying something to the effect of "Your car with VIN XXX has been involved in an accident" 1 second later "The airbags in your car with VIN XXX has been deployed". If it says the airbags has been deployed, my first though is....They...

Then software that needs updating as far as i was told is the one in the charger. Remember, this is a modern car, it has a small "computer" with its own software for each module. Brake module, camera, infotainment, airbag, charger, climate control, etc. So the version of the infotainment is...

ACC wont engage under a certain speed as far as i remember
