Car will reset to defaults when first turned on. When stationary apply the handbrake (use switch) as you would in an ice vehicle. Press the accelerator to move off and the handbrake automatically releases.

Turn off "dead reckoning" in sat nav menu and it will work. Why mg hasn't sorted this is questionable.

The app or the charger shouldn't be able to brick the car? I haven't heard of any other car makes having similar problems?

If we can find an OBD2 reader that works with the facelift that would make me rest a lot easier when fast charging.

Let us know if you have any fast charging issues.

Interesting to note that the uk government has announced that the driver will not be responsible for an accident in a self driving car and the insurance company will take the rap!

I'm currently trying to establish from MG if there is a specific software update for this fast charging problem or whether my car which apparently has the latest software from the factory already addresses this issue.

Has everyone got their rapid charging/car bricking issues resolved and do they only occur with Osprey chargers?

Good news. Any idea of when or if this update is going to be rolled out?

I can see that this will soon be in the Press as it appears that current cars are not fit for purpose. Hopefully exposure will mean that more effort is put in by MG to resolve this issue quickly. Their software validation appears to be lacking big time!

Maybe we should not be charging Standard Range ZS EV to 100%....see link below PushEVs: Best charging behavior for LFP batteries - PushEVs. https://pushevs.com/2022/04/21/best-charging-behavior-for-lfp-batteries/

Ok. That's good to know. There are some theories that leaving the car on may be causing problems. Glad AA could fix it, as others haven't been so lucky and have had to be towed to dealers for them to clear codes.

When rapid charging was the car in ready mode?

Try connecting your phone to Bluetooth before plugging in the cable. I know this can sometimes help in other vehicles.

If your current tariff is coming to an end then octopus go/ go faster is a no brainer. Day rates are equivalent to other suppliers, but you get 4 or 5 hours of cheap electricity at 7.5 and 8.25 p/kWh respectively during which you can charge the car, put the washing machine on etc.

I think the price of nickel may be why the short range is being manufactured in preference to the long range due its cheaper iron battery chemistry.

I think the advanced safety aids will have more of an effect on insurance premiums. Our premium was no more expensive than our 14 year RAV4 when we changed over with LV.

Communication with the car is over the cellular (mobile phone network) and therefore in theory you can connect to your car anywhere on the planet where you have a mobile phone signal.

MG recommend charging to 80% with a balancing charge of 100% once a month. This is how the new facelift model is set up.

Completely agree with the above....have found all the same issues. These could all be sorted with OTA updates if the system works....we will have to wait and see!
