Looks like Android Auto has had an update Today whilst using voice navigation to get to my nearest EV charge point, I noticed that Android auto showed both the available and in use charge points at a location which can help to avoid queuing at a charge location What I asked for was "Navigate...

Has anyone had their ZS EV discs skimmed?

A very non-scientific experiment..... I’ve asked on a few forums about the benefit of pre-heating the car on very cold days to try and avoid the initial cold running mi/kWh effect and the general consensus was it wasn't worth it. Well after a particularly poor run when I got 6 miles for...

Yes, my system was £9k a little over a year ago. Current prices are around £1200/kwp of solar and £600/kWh of battery fully installed I appreciate the thinking, but in a way it's like a bathroom or kitchen replacement. It gives me more pleasure knowing I'm generating my own power and not just...

I can only suggest checking the wiring as it sounds like there's a short/earth leakage

I’ve posted before about getting solar & battery, and while it’s a little off topic I thought it might be of interest to some. I've now had my solar and battery for just over 10 months and I thought I'd share some stats. For reference my system is 5.2kwp of solar (JA Solar) & 7.2kwh of battery...

I think the 10 are EV's - the dealership is a highly reputable main MG EV dealer in Scotland, so they will be the go to place for MG EV issues

Had my car recovered by AA for HV battery fault which happened whilst driving the car. All the usual repair option failed and the car is now at the garage (main MG dealer in Scotland). Having spoken to the dealer I may have a long wait as they have 10 recovered cars needing diagnosed/repaired...

Folks, I can't see it mentioned so thought it worth a post. Octopus Energy provide access to an EV charge card called Electric Universe. It's like most other cards, but it has access to a wide range of charge providers and it can be setup so that the cost of charging can be taken from your...

What V2L cable or connector do you use?

I’ve read through some of the comments on the V2L being used to supplement the household electricity consumption and would like to share that at least one person is doing this using a Kia EV6 albeit they manual switch between the car supplying the house and the grid supplying the house each day...

Does anyone who is familiar with this problem recognise this screw? I found it in the drivers footwell of my MG ZS EV MK1 and yes I have the clicking (although it's intermittent)

You will get paid for any export so why burn it for the sake of burning it ?‍♂️

Do you have a battery? if so you should find that the battery acts as a buffer for when you’re charging. I do this with the standard granny charger, knowing when the sun is out it will be fed direct from solar, but should a cloud pass over the battery kicks in and covers the charge instead of...

Yes, these service plans were withdrawn last year. You might still be able to get a service plan by asking your dealer. Main reason now for the thread is to illustrate expected prices of individual services for low and normal mileage services and to highlight the things to watch out for if you...

£400 ??? I’m hoping to do this for about £50 max

I’m not talking about anything super powerful, just a little more force than current struts

Has anyone looked at more powerful gas struts for the boot so that when you press the boot unlock button the boot opens automatically? I know you can do a DIY electric opener upgrade, but this seems simpler and just needs more powerful gas struts ?

Is it a Mk1 or Mk2 ZS? If it’s a Mk1 have a read of this thread. It’s about low mileage service plans, but has details of the prices for standard services in the images. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/low-mileage-service-plan-observations.1732/

If they are reasonably priced it’s worth a look. I wrote up this thread about service plans when they were offered by MG in 2020/21 https://www.mgevs.com/threads/cost-of-servicing-and-service-plans.695/
