    Using cigarette lighter to run 12V devices whilst camping

    Which version of car do you have MK1 (with a grill) or MK2 (no front grill)? I thought that the 2022 model in AUS was the MK1, 2022 in the UK is MK2 MK1 does not support V2L

    HV battery shutoff when initiating rapid charge. Vehicle control system fault.

    I agree, I think that mine was on the slow boat when the fix was brought out. They'll be quite a few people in the same boat (sorry...dad humour!)

    HV battery shutoff when initiating rapid charge. Vehicle control system fault.

    It might've even been later than that, I got my LR mid May, I'm sure the dealer had to do the update as part of the PDI

    They’re finally gone (hub caps)

    I believe that the PCD is the same a VW/Audi, not sure about the bore and offset though I'm sure that some people were using VW space savers

    That's good to hear, can you now stop AC charging by unlocking the car?

    MG ZS EV Temperature and drastic drop in miles per kWh

    I've seen this comment on various forums, it's not quite true. The seats are powered by the 12V battery, however the 12V battery is charged from the traction battery. Using any electrical device on the car will impact the range by varying degrees That said, the seat heaters consume considerably...

    MG ZS EV One pedal driving

    I think that the point with the stronger regen, is that the current regen on my Mk2 isn't strong enough to slow the car, if I'm driving spiritedly, braking up to a junction I'd be using full regen and the foot brake. If the regen was stronger, I'd be using that alone, pumping more current into...

    Rear screen wash u/s

    This has happened to quite a few people Look under the bonnet, back left corner, (drivers side UK) you see some hard brake pipes Behind that there are the washer pipes, it's likely that one will have popped off. It's a one minute job to push it back in, but fiddly as heck due to access

    Fast charging 12v battery through home 7kW. Possible?

    Ah I get you, but can we be sure that off off, behaves the same was a stand by (not sure what that mode is called) in terms of 12V battery management? I might have to do some testing!

    Fast charging 12v battery through home 7kW. Possible?

    Is that talking about the 12V or the traction battery, I can't recall the message/ I thought that the 12V battery management was one of the Mk1 vs Mk2 improvements that people were happy about?

    Fast charging 12v battery through home 7kW. Possible?

    To answer your original question, the answer is no There's a lot of comments above, but it's really quite straight forward. The 7kW wall socket you have is where the clever bits are,not the cable and the actual charger is in the car. The wall box and car communicate with each other through the...

    ZS EV Mk2 12V battery auto-top-up?

    Peter, I'm pretty sure that the MK2 does manage it's 12V when the car is parked up and off. I believe that it tops up when the voltage drops to a certain level This got raised quite a bit during the (UK) summer, when we were leaving our cars, as far as I know, nobody had any problems

    When drive means reverse?

    That's overcome in industrial applications by having 2 very distinct disable circuits, commonly known as "safe off", it gives the drive a safety rating similar to physical disconnection Disconnecting the output stages of any drive connected to an AC asynchronous motor is a big "no, no" the...

    When drive means reverse?

    It won't have a reversing contactor, it will have solid state controls, eg some type of transistors in a bridge arrangement It's sounding like a software bug to me

    MG ZS SE not allowed to fit a roof box

    The Trophy has roof rails (front to rear, raised off the roof) to which you can fit cross bars on to them, these give you the 75KG rating. The load is carried by the points on the roof where the roof rails bolt to The SE does not have the roof rails, so you'd have to fit a roof rack that sits...

    What do you think will be standard range in 5 years time

    It's a shame that the GOM doesn't (appear) to use a rolling average based on the recently consumption, rather than the consumption since it was reset, which could be years old

    What do you think will be standard range in 5 years time

    Lovemyev, I understand your method of resetting your trip before each charge, I know not everyone agrees with the process. I was just wondering if you could get the same results and a little more info if you charged, recorded the GOM then reset and recorded the new GOM With the logic, that this...

    What do you think will be standard range in 5 years time

    I think a range of 300 miles regardless of weather and driving style will become standard for middle of the range cars. That would be about equivalent to a WTLP of about 400 miles with current technology Ideally they'd be 3 ranges with reliable range of 200 for commuters, 400 for general and...
