Having had a Gen 1, when it comes to DC charging, the only time you will see the max charge rate is if the SOC is low and the batteries are at normal working temperatures, normally after a long run. In winter, even with the SOC @ 25% and the batteries still cold, I've also seen 30 KW, but then...

I've got the MK1 HS PHEV, and the only time the car revs up slightly is when the car switches from pure EV -> Hybrid, after that it revs just like a normal ICE car at motorway speeds, even when trying to maintain the traction battery.

Yes, it should be fine but word of warning if the 12v Battery is on it's way out, the car will try to top this up from the traction battery. After 2 weeks, i had lost 20% due to the car trying to maintain the 12v battery level, but i must had this was not in a MG, so it may be different.

Having bought one of the first-generation ZS EVs, which was so unreliable, I sold it after only six months (luckily, it was at the price peak, so I didn't lose too much). Now, 5 years later, I've just bought a 2023 HS PHEV, and so far, I love the car, especially with the red leather. Having both...

Many thanks, and this is very helpful

I am considering buying a 2023 HS but am unsure what the combined range (miles) would be on a motorway at 70 mph starting with a full battery (not in EV mode) before this is depleted and running, then on the engine alone. Plus, what MPG is achievable at this speed for both instances? Around...

Hi, i gave MG UK (Spoke to them directly) every chance to fix the car and in the end they stated there's too many variables and at this point the dealers hands were tied, so in the end i sold it on and actually bought a Zoe and this works fine and as expected. My ZS battery was fully balanced...

The avg is only 12 mph, hence why in ECO he can do 173 in the warmer months.... If the average was around 25 mph, then you would be probably looking in ECO mode, no more than 140 miles and in winter knock another 20 - 30 miles of this, unless you plan not to use the heater at all....

I could only ever get anywhere close to 50KW (or max of 80KW) if i had travelled a considerable distance (100 mile+) and the battery pack was hot but obviously will change depending on the outside temperature. For me, my MG ZS EV and i presume the MG5 is the same but normally and even with low...

I know exactly how you feel, MG UK simply don't care and it's never their fault and the car is performing correctly. Maybe they think we are buying cheap EV so and should just except the faults and crack on!!!! With so many cars suffering from software faults MG should have included a 10mm...

Do you consider 25% remaining to be low SOC that's a 1/4 of the overall battery, so effectively from your comments you are happy with a car that performs perfectly fine for 75% that's equivilant to a 33KW battery... I agree why would you need full power when the first warnings come on? Well...

This is much harder than you think and once you've started this process you are advised not to use the car....

From either the charger or via the Torque app.

I am happy with the reduced power if the car tells's me this is limited, but it doesn't, and if you come to overtake or can only manage 25MPH up the smallest of inclines, then clearly this is not right or at least for me; it's not. Perhaps though people are happy with a car that performs for...

The last time the dealer had the car the imbalance result was 0.006mv across the pack and it was the best they had ever seen, so not a BMS problem. I know the dealer has never tested my car but they did their own test in another MG ZS EV and the result was the same and this does suggest it's...

Long story but please read this could be applicable to all MG ZS EV…. Within the first 30 days of ownership my new car, I noticed that at low SOC <25% the power of the car would not go above 30% (+ 2C) when going from 10mph and up a very small incline. I immediately informed my dealer who at...

From my experience rejection is much harder than you think and knowing what i do now and as previously stated, i would only give the dealer once chance to fix this and make sure it's within the first 30 days (although not 100% sure if this applies to used cars).

Thanks for the detailed information and from this and based on other comments, then i would expect if on a 50KW charger the rate to the fairly flat with little drop off until nearer the 80%. What though i can see is the temperature of the pack increases significantly, which is something i've not...

OK, perhaps my title was incorrect and should have said KW, Regardless though, the amount of energy supplied in my table (Charge KWH) clearly shows that to get 33KW (0-80%) takes longer than the 40 mins MG claim unless and in my case i drive more than 100 miles and this moreover the point i was...
