Hi I've been off the forum for a while, but what's this about the SoC not being correctly shown in the Thai App? I recently on ZS mk1 screen grabbed my SoC on the Thai App a few miles before I got to MG where I saw the SoC on their MG laptop. App was 85.3, MG was 83.5, which seems about right...

Not that much really, will feed it back etc. I am expecting a formal apology. Won’t be getting 3.5hours of my life back unfortunately lol. It’s going to have to go back too for further investigation ? as non functioning rear squirter couldn’t be fixed. Found a nice surprise when got home...

Jeff, as I had 3 1/2 hours waiting for the service, I managed to get an hour test drive of the new ZS - it was a short range. It was nicer but we’ve decided it’s not worth the cost to upgrade. Much better charging covers (why aren’t they on the new mg4!?) and I like the new digital dash...

To be honest they don’t need changing, it’s just an excuse to charge more for the 2nd (B) service. The only things extra in the more expensive B (2nd year) service are pollen filter/fob batteries/brake fluid change. Most folk will say even brake fluid doesn’t need to be replaced every 2 years...

So, the update, after basically being told I was lying and the 100% is correct. They replugged the computer in and let me see the screen….computer says 93% SOH. For anyone interested I managed to get a photo of the mg laptop I have got to say to anyone living in/near Milton Keynes, goto...

That’s kinda what I told them, I don’t care as such that it’s 93% - I expect it to be. I expect them to do their job correctly, especially as it’s their 2nd attempt to do the service properly.

I’m not getting 163m now. I’m getting about 152. Which correlates with the SOH being 93.xx% I’ve updated my post btw to clarify :)

What do you guys think? Zs Mk1 done 32,000miles, in for 2nd attempt at the service (they did the 1 year instead of 2nd last month…) I know the SOH from the ODB2 is 93.7% I’ve been monitoring it ever since new, it correlates with the GOM (WLTP 163m at 100%SOH) after resetting trips at 100%...

What do we reckon the chances are of “sorry sir that’s not covered by the warranty”!? I can’t remember now but charging unlocked may be part of the comfort 2 update. Have you had comfort 2 done? Could well be an incomplete update too thats the issue.

What is the actual problem you’re having? All cars usually get the BMS updates etc when they’re in for servicing etc, it was just that at one point cars with the bad bms were supposed to have been proactively called in by dealership to be updated. There have been many instances where updates...

The trips/GOM calculation have just been reset that’s all, back to WLTP default.

You really need to compare with nothing on/HVAC off. Depending on the conditions the HVAC will use different amounts of power, so with it on you will not get a consistent reading. Normal mode, under no load, gives the WLTP figure of 163miles (trips reset obviously). Ideally, you should take GOM...

That is something I was curious about, I've never seen any "official" stats on what percentage of EV owners charge at home vs needing public type 2/AC chargers. This poll should give us those stats hopefully from the 'I NEED a Type 2 charger for my charging routine" answer.

I agree, 18p pkWh is very reasonably for a public AC charger.

After various discussions I'm curious as to who actually has bought a Type 2 cable sometimes needed for fast (AC) charging. Also, why/where folk have used/needed them. There's a few poll choices, multiple choices are required as it's kinda a few different questions in one poll... Do you own or...

Hi @Harry 17 I've not seen an MG4 granny charger yet, so don't know if it's the same. The MG5 comes with a different design to the Gen 1 & 2 ZS. I've no idea why they aren't all coming with the same granny chargers really. If you have one, if you could send me a photo - maybe with a tape...

Any new owners that would like one of these? msg me if so, or you can buy them via my ebay MG Granny Charger Wall Holder Mount (ZS EV) electric car EV | eBay thanks Jody

I’m always shocked at the amount of people going on about needing charging apps. There’s not many rapid chargers around that you can’t just use contact less card payment on. It’s been law for about 2 years now that all new chargers installed had to take contactless. Prices are a bit annoying...

Glad you got it all done ok. I can't bring myself to buy another pack of 2 when I only need 1 more to replace the one I broke trying to fit it, so I just have the originals in!

I think we can safely say now, that the degradation is primarily mileage related and not age.
