    100% Balancing Charge - Frequency and Method

    I've had my ZS for over 2 years and never had a message telling me to slow charge, although 95% of charging is done at home at 7kW. I often wonder if it needs one and is not telling me.

    Cigarette Lighter fitted or not ?

    I always use Google maps. Even if you don't have the connect version the talk button on the steering wheel will bring up the google assistant and you can tell it where you want to go or even play music if you have Spotify.

    Comfortable driving position

    The only problem I have is the lack of headrest rake adjustment, I find a tad too close to my head. The rest is fine I have no problems with comfort on long journeys.

    MG ZS Mk II Tesla Charging Software update

    With all the comments on here about MG ZS issues with Tesla, has anyone successfully charged their Mk 2 ZS EV at an open to all supercharger? I'm asking for the Holidays down to the New Forrest so I can avoid all the high priced rip-off CPOs.

    How many miles per kWh can you get?

    I drive mine like a normal ICE car, Normal mode Climate control on set at 22C and average throughout the year at 3.5 m/kWh. It's too much trouble to hypermile and be cold. It still works out at 2.7 p/mile (Octopus GO 9p a kWh for 4 hours overnight) I'm saving loads against an ICE car.

    Tyre Wear

    After 2 years and 22,000 mile I've lost 3mm of tread. I drive normally so don't take it easy, so that makes it about about 7,000 miles per mm tread, so from 8mm new to 2 when replaced that's about 42,000 miles. The tyres are Michelin Premacy 3's factory fitted.

    Software updates in general

    I've just had my second service and part of it was the "Tesla fix" included in the price. I mentioned to them that there were all sorts of bugs in the infotainment system and the tech checked and I was on R19 so he booked me in for an update. I'm now on R23 and up to now it's far better.

    Charging at a Tesla Charger

    Just took my car ( 2022 ZS TL) for it's second service, Chap told me there was an update to the CCU but said the letter from SAIC MG said that there was no guarantee it would work and that you should find another charger. Not good.

    Hey Google

    I've not got mine to work yet, will have to try harder, although who knows with this abominably rubbish software that SAIC call infotainment. Not much info and not at all entertaining.
