Here in UK nearly all houses are single phase electrical supply so max (in practical terms) 7.2kw. You can be upgraded in most instances to 3 phase should you require it but for most folks it's just not needed or worth the extra cost. The Tesco chargers were DC I think. Never ever had the...
The torque steer on our E-Niros is a little disconcerting on the odd occasion. That's the downside of 201hp & a very sensitive throttle delivering instant power that doesn't let up as you barrel off down the road! :ROFLMAO: I find the ZS EV more controllable in that department but more than...
Interesting points being made by hmadsen. I remember quite a few of the Tesco supermarket free charging stations only being 22kw. That is most likely the issue here with the op's charging situations. Not sure he means free electricity or just that the chargers were not congested or in use.
Yes the Kona is a great car. We have my MG ZS EV Mk11 LR Trophy & 4 other EV's in the family. Two of them are E-Niros, very similar of course to the Kona, same motors & battery choices. I've driven the E-Niros & they are good but haven't driven the Kona. Both Niros are 3 & 5 yrs old. My MG was...
TBH, you'll soon see charging is just as easy or easier than refuelling with that highly flammable highly carcinogenic liquid call petrol (or diesel). Congrats on the credit card. If you could let me have the long number on the front of the card & the 3 security digits on the back I'd be...
I'm not familiar with your cars infotainment centre software. On the later models, the MK2 you can check the main Telematics system software version easily without an obd reader. The 'R' number denotes how up-to-date your car is. R19 is very out of date & R27 is very up to date, usually having...
I turned the sensitivity of the emergency braking down to its 'mild' setting & increased the distance between me & the car infront on the cruise control setting. It's now a pleasure to use with no more false emergency braking.
Never ever had any public charging issues ever, whether Tesla or any other charging brand. I would put the Tesla app on your phone though as it lets you use any open to all Tesla chargers not just the latest V4 units. All of them accepted whatever payment method I had chosen. Aside from debit &...
My late 2024 ZS EV clock changed automatically. I was fully prepared to wrestle with the software to undertake this little job. After starting the car, within two or three minutes the time corrected itself. First car I've had that has ever done this! And I've had some really good cars.
I'm not sure R27 gave new features as I wasn't fully aware of all the cars features even on R25. I do know that R27 is the gateway for lots of other updates that you cannot get with R25. I'm told these updates are mostly to strengthen the cars electronic systems eg: to ensure that computer...
UPDATE:
Further to the above post of mine, I can confirm one of the new updates that was included with my R27 Telematics software update was to ensure that all 6 main computer modules do actually go to sleep when you turn the car off. This should considerably reduce the 'flat 12v battery' issue...
The issue is without the latest R27 the car will not be able to see the latest software updates. On R25 there were no other updates available for my car. But a smart tech at my local MG dealer decided to update my car to R27. Immediately my car could see multiple updates for each & everyone of...
Have seen the IM5 at everything electric. First impressions are it's a great car. Good spec & good quality build. Like the look of it.
I'm a relatively new MG owner since January this year. So far so good. I have a great dealer looking after me. I love my MG ZS EV LR car as does my wife who...
Ok, I think it's time to see your dealer & explain the situation more fully. Back this up with a short..ish explanation in writing for the service manager or tech who looks at the car. Mention that the car has almost started to charge but then failed & then on another occasion you got the...
Regarding the map version. To get the latest maps you have to go to the MG website shown in the cars manual in the app. Or the UK site may have a link. There you can go to support & enter your Vin number to download the relevant map update onto your computer. Next you need a 32gb usb stick (nice...
My ZS EV was new in Jan this year. It was fine for a couple of weeks then developed a creaking chattering noise from the dash. Couldn't see anything obvious but the noise was getting louder & more frequent. I was too busy to take it back to the dealer at that time so just kept driving it with...
