Still is as stupid does (I think that's what Forrest Gump said) And before anyone shouts at me I have done it as well Frank

Hi, I am selling a 32 amp type 2 5 m charging used it on my MG ZS for just over 8 months before getting a new EV which came with its own lead. £80 plus postage if required. I live in Dumfries Frank

Thanks, didn't know there was a classified section. Frank

Hi, I have a charging lead for sale for £80 plus postage. Used for just over a year on my MG ZS. Kept it for a bit longer as a spare lead but now decided not needed. Regards Frank

Hi All, The price increase is due to a vat increase just recently imposed by the Government. Charging companies used to pay only 3% VAT on the electricity they dished out. They now have to pay 20% VAT and they have passed on this increase to the consumer. I suppose the Government have to claw...

Hi, I don't have the Hybrid but the settings you mention MUST affect when the ICE kicks in to keep the battery charged and it will NOT be based on the vehicle speed but the state of the battery so any time the battery gets below the stated level depending on which setting you have the ICE will...

Hi, I have had two EVs in the last couple of years, the MG ZS and a Hyundai Kona. I have test drove various other EVs and I was surprised to find them ALL so similar. The only things that's seperate them is basically the battery size and therefore the so called range you can get and the real...

No different to ICE cars, ALL the factors you mention reduce or increase the mpg on both EV and ICE Cars. One factor however with an ICE car that is different , is the weight of the fuel, every time you fill up to full you increase the fuel consumption which gets better as you use the fuel. I...

Well, strike me down with a wet floppy fish. Obviously the MG HS Hybrid is pretty well advanced compared to some others, if indeed it does as it says on the manual on long trips you will still have some battery power to draw on especially when showing up some boy racer at the lights. Happy...

What is a hybrid? Commonly called hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), as the definition above suggests, a hybrid car is simply one that relies on two different power sources for motion. The two different power sources are typically petrol and electricity (most common in the US) and diesel and...

Henri8, Strange, by definition Plug In Hybrids do NOT receive any charge from the engine but from an external source. Also if it does receive a charge from the engine it will be very small and I would not think it would actually manage to charge the battery from empty to full no matter how far...

Hi Henri8, Sorry, a Plug In Hybrid does NOT get charged by the engine, you have to plug it in to a external charging source. There are other Hybrids called self charging Hybrids that do receive a charge from the Petrol/Diesel Engine but they are just an aide to make the Petrol/Diesel more...

Hi, If you actually do go away a lot to remote areas and you know (I mean actually know not just think) there are very few chargers then a BEV or Plug in Hybrid are not for you in my opinion. Some points to consider:- a. ANY plug in Hybrid once the small battery is depleted is just a...

Hi Neil, I bought chrome mirror caps which just fit over the top of the existing caps. The new caps are just held in place with adhesive tape and have been on for over a year without fail. I can't understand why you need to take your mirror apart, have you actually tried fitting them over...

Off course, but unfortunately the "charger anxiety" that I suffer from is still there as you will, no matter what the range available have to charge at some point. The Tesla waiting point that I made was from a London owner in and around the M25 (more disposal income there I suppose and the...

The range (unless you have a go-wiz ) is NOT the problem as most EVs, even the smaller battery versions will do 100 Miles on the motorway in almost all conditions and using the heating, lights, A.C. etc etc, and that's at a reasonable speed 70mph. In my opinion it's not range anxiety that you...

With you a 100% percent. Frank

Guys, Am I missing something here. As far as I know the user (at least for the MG ZS EV, don't know about the MG 5 but I don't think it will be any different) can't initiate an equalization charge as it is the BMS that will tell you on the screen if and when it is required. I, as you know are...

Hi Alun26, If you already know this please accept my apologies, free or fee paying I can't comment on but if they are AC chargers ( all 22kwh chargers I have came across were AC) you can ONLY draw a maximum of 7kwh from them as the MG ZS EV can only charge up to 7kwh on AC. It is only when...

Tim, I am 100% with you. I don't worry at all about the battery, I let the BMS and the warranty take care of that. I also unlike many many others plug into my Home Charger EVERY night no matter what the state of charge. I like starting every morning with a full tank for those unexpected long...
