    Preconditioning the battery

    Not really worth pre-heating the battery when charging on AC, as you will/may use more electricity to pre-heat than you gain in charging speed from charging a cold battery. Benefits are mostly when DC charging.

Only issues have been Other issue is heat transmission into other cabin from the Sun. We have had UV film applied to the driver and passenger windows (£100) to help cut now in the...

    Broken Parcel Shelf 😢

    I'd drill a very small hole in both first and insert a steel pin before gluing.

    My ZS won't charge at more than 30 kW on the DC terminals. Where to find the firmware version ?

    Max is around 76kW, but app depends on the chargers network loading. You'll need to try other chargers.

    cruise control question

    The number of false positives we have had in other than motorway conditions , re: the car emergency braking, means that is the only condition in which we use ACC.

    Tomato Energy

    When something appears to be too good to be true, it normally is. Makes my sticking with British Gas look like a good move 🤣 .

    Wireless phone charger (MGS5 EV)

    I found the same on the ZX TLR, the rubber mat is too thick... solution is use a cable or a MagSafe puck.

    AA flickering problem

    I've had the same issues with USB port on our ZS TLR, and AA or Apple Car Play have been seamless since purchasing this dongle : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FMXZB9KL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I feel its £25 well spent (y)

    A NOT SO short update on our British Gas Hive EV charger installation.

    And I guess this may just cap off our 2 1/2 year journey with BGas and their Hive EV charger (Alfen S-Line), which I have to say has been 95% reliable since October'23. 1st October the charger went off-line (reliant on internal SIMs card, no house wifi connection) I contacted Hive help and was...

    Charging issues

    This is an old issue with the ZS EV. On occasions I have had to un-plug and plug back in, or even remove the 12v battery negative terminal for 10 minutes. My current latest fix (which appears to work for now) is to set a charging schedule in the car, with percentage charge set to 80% this seems...

    Battery Heating

    Either via the MG app. In car you can only turn the heater to always on! In the iSmart is not great, as you can only schedule when the heater will come on: Classic Theme , home screen EV Management, gear wheel top right, or in 100 years theme, scroll down to the battery icon, then gear wheel and...

    Help to choose between three MG ZS EV 44.5 kWh Exclusive Auto 5dr cars: Is £3000 worth with it?

    We tell us then Alb rather than saying its not true. I think the warranty is also on body corrosion, but hey it's the same as most other manufactures. I'd also be looking at the Trophy Long Range as comes in at about the same price.
