P.S. it can list traffic incidents around you, assuming you know all the road numbers where you happen to be.

I finally tried the built-in navigation properly in my city and here's my opinions: It's very smooth and responsive the traffic shows up a orange lines in the road didn't tell me what the traffic delay was specifically, but the core info you'd want is on screen it suggested a faster route...

Not used the traffic (or the built in) navigation. Will try today on a 30 minute drive I need to do across town.

I find the acceleration just a tad aggressive on Normal in city driving - I’ve gotten used to eco - works well for me in all driving conditions

Yes - it must have been toggling dead reckoning when playing with the options (must have rung a subconscious bell after reading about it ). I’m currently getting 3.5 kWh/mile without trying very hard and driving at 70 miles for long periods. I expect I can get better with some care. Note that...

Some first impressions from the first 1000 miles in just over a week in my Trophy Connect LR. I have driven on long motorway journeys, school runs, long B road journeys. Previous car is a 2017 Nissan Leaf Tekna 30 kWh - so some comparisons are made against that. Drive - comfortable...

Well, I wanted a full charge for a long journey ahead the next day - so I wanted it to get to 100%. Once the battery reaches 100% I believe it effectively starts to balance itself - which isn't a harmful thing as far as I know. So I didn't need to balance it - it was just going to happen if I...

I did park properly in one of the two spots, on the type 2 cable side. Just didn’t realise what I was doing would stop others from using the charger, and forgot that type 2 can be used for faster charging too.

As mentioned before, I thought the type 2 cable was only for slow charging & thought the fast chargers would still be usable by others. The 2 slow chargers by the hotel certainly would work for others too - just not for me despite trying everything. My intentions were definitely not selfish -...

Lol - we're going round in circles. I wanted to start my journey with a balanced 100% which is why I hogged the Type2 connector for so long. Knowing what I know now, I would have only fast charged to 80% and thus started the 250 mile journey @ 80%. So I was replaying a similar scenario where...

Maybe it's because it was an older charger (Polar), or perhaps it's because I paid for the charge as a guest - but at 6:30 am the charge screen was exactly how I'd left it at midnight - and I couldn't see any way for someone to start a charge.

I hear you all - ironically, things were not as they seemed to me! And I've learned to "be better" as the note suggested - so it's all good. re: not doing long journeys on the Leaf: We had done less long trips as with a 5 year old 30kWh leaf the range isn't particularly great. Chademo charging...

In retrospect - yes, most likely. I just thought that with 100% I’d make it home in one stint and not have to worry about range anxiety and finding chargers etc. As it happens, we left the hotel with 96% (charger stopped before full charge) and after a few detours we had to put another 40%...

OK - reading your replies, I can also see your perspectives. Let me try to explain myself better: The car was given to me with 100% charge. I was down to 55% charge and wanted to bring the car back to 100% for my 200 mile journey home, and wanted the battery to balance - which as far as I know...

So first of all - I finally have my ZS EV Trophy Connect Long Range (#TeamBlack) - picked up last Friday - and I'm quite delighted, coming from a 2017 Leaf 30kWh Tekna. There are some software quirks and I'll do a separate post on my experiences after a few more long-ish trips this week. Before...

If I ever get my MG I’ll let you know my experience…

Assuming you’ve tried other cables and do t have another iPhone to try it with, you could have a look at the phone connector - quite often, over time, lint/dust builds up which still allows charging but not data. Pick it out with something not metallic like a toothpick. (Very common for people...

I drive a 30kWh Leaf Tekna - and on my Zs Trophy test drive the first thing I noticed was the really loud indicator noise! The dealer told me they make it loud for the petrol version so it’s more noticeable on the quieter electric car version. Other than that it drove quite nicely, more power...

lol - that’s exactly the one thing I’ll miss. I even started looking for a possible retro-fit or heated gloves. :-) I had never had a heated steering wheel before the leaf - but in the winter months it’s such a comfort. I’m trying to avoid using it now (whilst I wait indefinitely) to wean...

I spent a LOT of time researching a successor to my Nissan Leaf 2017 30kWh. Originally bought as a second car to do all the short journeys - the other car died and we've been managing with just the Leaf. The range is very limited and public charging on long journeys is stressful and...
