    OBDLink CX --> ABRP but sets the alarm off !

    Your OBD2 dongle has to be disconnected, I've had it many a time forgetting to disconnect from Car Scanner before locking the car.

    Efficiency Reading Accuracy on ZS EV

    I may look at doing a similar test with our ZS TLR. But what ever the results its far less expensive to run than our old petrol or diesel. Don't forget to factor in charging losses of 10-30%, slower the charge (typically 7kW at home) the higher the losses are as a percentage of the charge.

    MG ZS EV - MG guidance for charging in Winter months

    Always try to charge the battery to 100% while charging with AC (normal/slow charging). When charging with DC (fast-charging), it’s recommended to charge the battery to 80%. As those above I tend to disagree with the first part of the above statement!!

    Charging pauses immediately after it starts!

    Who is your electricity provider, and are you on a EV Tariff? It may be that your providers 'smartcharge' also runs while demand is low during the daytime as with BGas if your not on their EV tariff.

    12V Battery Size

    Our ZS is showing 13.1V. as you say the higher terminal voltage is required to cover the voltage drop when the starter motor is used. On a EV the biggest current draw may be the heater or the wipers. so a higher off-load terminal voltage is generally not required. Now shows 14.7v after sitting...

    Tomato Energy

    Yes it does greatly. Like counting who support cable by going to a working mans club (no affines meant to this who attend WMCs) LOL... John the tides of change...one minute all for Octopus, and now Tomato... who tomorrow? I'm sticking with BGas at 3.9p/kWh for my off-peak charging, maybe...

    Petrol icon wrong side

    Yes 100%, typically on the handle to the pump is on the side of the filler cap. But Chinese cars 95% plus are sold in countries where they drive on the right, not the right side is the left side. ! We get what we pay for!

    Locking wheel nut

    Bottom line, NO ONE is going to want to steel the wheels off a current MG ,Therefore wheel nuts are not really required !

    Worst car I've ever had

    No. not wrong, just set up as most domestic chargers in the UK are running off single phase and therefore 7Kw. in Europe would more than likely be 3ph.
