I have never had to power down my car but my wife's garage disconnected her battery today to change her clutch (*) resulting in her radio needing a password reset.
Got me to a thinking (dangerous territory 😁) and not ever disconnecting my ZS battery, do they require a password reset on...
Main London to Edinburgh.
Crossing North of Doncaster between Bentley and Arksey.
During the day they can be closed 45 minutes in the hour with wait times of a few minutes to as long as 20.
They are famous round here and watching 10 - 12 trains go past is not uncommon 🤔🙄

I was sat in my car and a railway crossing, the sun was shining and quite warm.
It got me thinking about your query.
I shut everything off except the fan and my car display was show 0 Amps being drawn I turned the AC on and listened to the compressor start instantly the Amps raised.
The...
I always used the "cause control" on my old diesel car, I found it a lot more efficient so I started to use it on my ZS but since I found out that it didn't regenerate I stopped.
That was at least 18 months ago.
Another thing that put me off was it was quite aggressive. I tend to accelerate...
Is that about £15 a month over 48 months?
That is cheaper than what I am paying for years 3, 4, 5 & 6. I'm paying about £22
So if it expensive, I'm completely being fleeced 😂😎

When mine gets to about 3% the displayed milage goes blank.
It happens when it has about 10 miles left.
I have driven on and because I timed it to happen between work and home I was always within 10 to 15 miles from home.
Can't say I enjoyed the feeling but got home with no issues.

Just asked my best mate Google and it is possible to access the switch by removing the whole centre console.
So it sounds a awkward, finicky and potentially problematic to do it yourself.
Rob
It's possible the switch is the fault, maybe the internal contacts are at fault and there is a bad connection or short circuit that is causing the issue.

When I bought mine 2 years ago it was a very similar buy as your option.
It was almost 2 year old with 6k miles.
I have since done another 30k, average about 14k - 15k a year.
I charge at home over with a ohm pro on my Octopus cheap ev tariff about 85% of the time.
I do lots of long journeys...
There is an option to link your car to your phone through an app.
ismart.
You pair your phone to the car when sitting inside it.
On the screen there is an option to link using a QR code.
When I first tried it with mine which was about 18 months old I found it was still tied to the previous...
I'm very happy with my car and the saving compared to my last car which cost £120 every ten days to do the exact same journeys as I do now in my EV at a fraction of that cost.
In my first six months I compared my bills and I had saved £800 that was 18 months ago so the saving is even more.
My...
There is a joke about a tourist asking a local for directions and the local says " you shouldn't be starting from here"
Your case is not funny but you started at the wrong place, instead of proving it was in warranty as soon as you got it home you left it too long and now it's your word...
Do you use an app for charging, like Electroverse for example.
I plan a distance in my journey that is around the 40% left mark. I use Google maps and see where that is from my house and then put the area in the Electroverse app.
I then just note all the charging stations that are enroute.
The...
I've gone as low as 1% once and 2% a few times. The milage does not show below 10 and I have driven it for 5 miles home while it displayed nothing.
I normally go from 80% to 20%, the only difference to this is an exception.

I have no real complaints but ventilation is quite poor.
To stop misting of the front windscreen make sure car is in normal mode and even switch on the AC.
It will decrease the range but you may as well be comfortable.
The air vents do not divert air up, out and down very well and I think the...
I love my ZS Long range, bought it second hand at 2 years old and 6,000 miles.
I've had it 16 months and the mileage is over 30,000.
I love it and I'd buy another, but hopefully not for a long, long time.
