ZS EV Luxury
Living in southern Spain, in the country, each summer from May-September we go north in our motorroam to seek out cooler climes.
In the past a neighbour has popped in every month or so and moved our old diesel Citroen C4 around the garden from one patch of shade to another, rotating the tyres, charging the battery, etc.

What to do with my MG ZS EV this summer ?

Charge it to 80% then have the neighbour shunt it backwards & forwards a couple of metres every month?

Or is it more complicated than that ?
Is it possible to park it without activating the handbrake, for eg, tho' I doubt they'd seize in this dry climate ....

Cheers 'n' Beers
 
For long term storage, battery experts recommend leaving a Lithium Ion battery at 50%.
 
The MG4 the owner's manual recommends disconnecting the 12v battery if it's being left for an extended period of time. I don't know if its the same for the ZS EV?

I know that would prevent your neighbour moving the car to avoid tyre flat spots but you could over inflate the tyres to do the same thing.
