    MG ZS EV essence 2023 - lower kms than promised 320kms

    FWIW, my 2022 ZSEV sr LFP has been consistent from the get go: 320k N, 336k E. Always. One tip: always reset both trip meters before doing a 100% charge (here, that is via home 7kw charger overnight). That resets the range calc which otherwise might indicate bogus figures based on earlier...

    Using Tesla Superchargers with my ZS EV

    Personal experience in Australia: when they opened up some Tesla test sites for other EVs, within a week a couple of other charging network prices jumped to closely match the exhorbitant prices that Tesla charge. Just recenty, they've opened some other stations more widely, but I have no...

    Cruise control unable to maintain speed

    Zero issues here with two ZS EVs over the years (gen1 and now gen2), in fact cruise control & auto distance keeping would have to be one of the best features of the car & so good also for general efficiency /battery range. I'd be inclined to have it serviced & checked.

    Radio cutting out with notifications

    Yes, this is correct & needs to be changed in the phone -is not the car/ The OP doesn't say, but this behaviour only applies to Android. iPhone works differently, does not interrupt but needs to be manually selected from the infotainment button to play music on the phone.

    Extended Range ZS?

    Yes, this is (currently) the standard on most EVs (eg, EX30, Telsa, MG etc), Interestingly though, the Atto 3 blades are LFP irrespective of range (SR 320k, LR 420k). Still, the near future should see the battery chemistry continue to change up noe with longer ranges, less weight and faster...

    Extended Range ZS?

    Apparently the next 2024 model adopts the MG4’s dedicated Modular Scalable Platform (MSP). Battery tech, who knows but a reasonable guess is that the chemistry will continue to evolve as per CATL & others with sodium hybrids or even solid state etc; also, being a new platform,this should provide...

    Driving in eco mode

    I pretty much drive in Eco mode permanently, why not, it gives a bit more range (336k E vs 320k N). The only downside I've come across in this 2022 ZS EV SR is that the back row air con is useless in Eco, not enough ariflow back there via the tunnel. Lift it up to Normal mode & the rear is fine...

    Tyre pressures

    No. But 2.8 bar = 41psi recommended on driver's side door. Easy enough to flip back & forth at the tyre pump if needed.

    MG ZS EV 2022 - Battery pack types

    Like many EVs (Tesla for example), short range versions use LFP chemistry, long range are NMC.

    End of a (short) era

    Death by a thousand tuts, eh?

    Are electricians ripping us off?

    The first thing I'd say is that indeed, if we buy one of these 'bundles' say from the car dealer (unit + install) then of course we'll get wacked. Exacty as per the protection kits sold at the sale point - so much can be saved by going to a thrid party post purchase, and often much mich higher...

    Updating 2022 ZS EV navigation?

    On my 22 ZS EV, this has Google Maps & needs no service centre updates. This occurs from time to time via OTA & google maps synchronisation. However, you do appear to be talking about the clock, not the navigation /maps. Trying re-setting the clock & time-zone on the car via the preferences menu...

    Radio ev zs

    22 ZS EV here. In my experience this only happens with Andriod phones & where any bluetooth activity on the phone will switch the infotainment from radio to BT (like a message or similar; also will occur when placed on the charging pad). It then needs to be pushed to play or changed back to...

    MG ZS missing V2L function

    No problem here, works as expected. I use an inexpensive adaptor from Ali Express, plug straight into the charge port or at the end of a type 2 cable & it lights up with a blue LED, meaning, the car sees it & the infotainment shows ready to go...

    Vehicle to load discharge cable

    I've been using one of these adapters, AUD$32 from Ali Express. Very convenient, works perfectly (the front light is useful to confirm power) - I can just plug it straight into the charging port & maybe drop a power board off that if necessary, or attach it to the end of my type 2 charging...

    My ZS is slowly falling apart...

    Totally agree, but is the nature of social media, eh? Beggars belief why someone would vent into that aether (and be followed) & not simply go to a service centre. Or google it for that matter. LazyFace. Both gens of ZS EV here & like most of us I suspect, zero issues.
