    Great video (as always) Jerry. Couple of notes: you referred to DC charging as Fast charging. That can be a little confusing. Not sure about NZ but in UK agreed terminology is: Slow Charging - AC up to 3.5kW (like when using granny cable and standard domestic outlet) , Fast Charging - AC 7kW (single phase cable) or up to 43kW (three phase cable), Rapid Charging - DC 50kw, Ultra Rapid Charging - DC 100kW and more. Secondly maximum charging speed (both AC and DC) available for MG ZS EV varies between specs and regions. For example AC charging for NZ cars max 11kw, UK spec car max 6.5kW. It's good to know that. Because of that buying for instance three phase type 2 cable in UK is a waste of money.

    Yes, it was quite interesting that our ZS EV here support 3 phase AC charge. I always refer all AC as slow charge and DC as fast charge. It’s unfortunately the way how we communicate with customers. If I keep saying DC or AC, a lot clients wouldn’t have a clue what that means lol.

    Jerry is great, your videos are highly meaningful compared to others’. I have one question. Headlight of MG ZS Ev is a bit dim, giving problem in the night time where no street light is available. Do you suggest me to replace it by other normal light ?Or you give me some clue which makes the head light more powerful?

    How do I set up the scheduled charging (SC) at home in my 2022 MG ZS EV Essence (NZ), from with in the car, as I don’t have the I-Smart app? Is there an easy step-by- step set of instructions on how to do set up the SC ? Does my car need to be turned on to set up scheduled charging? How much time in advance, do I need to set up the SC ( as suggested by Hamilton Winger Motors?

    Hi Jerry. Just got my ZS EV 2023 (Long Range) yesterday. ı went straight to a DC charger, and while charging, i wanted the Air Condition ON so i pushed the start button to get get the Air Condition ON. I charged for 45 minutes without any problem (to 90 percent). But when I unplugged the cable and tried to start the vehicle I got "HV Battery Shutoff” & “Vehicle Control System Fault" error and the car refused to start. I got out of the car, locked the doors waited for 1 minute unlocked, tried again and it was all fine. When I got back to my house i plugged 11KW home charger, and did the same starting thing like i did with DC charger and when i unplugged it, got the same error. So my question is it not normal to try to get the car on while AC or DC charging? I could not find any answer to this on internet. THANKS :D

    It might be the vehicle was resetting itself after charging. I have had it after charging it too. Best way to do it, switch it completely off before plug in the charger. After the charging starts, switch it on for air con or music. Switch the car off before you unlock the charger.

    Thanks Jerry. Can I ask a question. In the Charge to Percentage chapter where you move the bar from between 80% to 100%, is this only available in the Long Range and not available in the Short Range version? In the short range version, does that mean you only get "Charge to 100%" and that is all?

    Hi Jerry, I have a long range ZS with a range of 270 miles. After some charging (2.3, 7.3 and 50k) over several weeks, I used a 50k charger that when completed indicated my car now was at 80%. When I switched on the car the range indicated 80% but only 160 miles. I moved the 80% to 100% and used a 7.3kw, to top up. This completed to show 100% but only 196 miles - What happened to the other 74 miles please? Many thnaks John

    1. Stop the car, as in turn it off. 2. Lock the car - it won't begin charging until the car is locked. This also engages a lock in the car's charging socket to prevent the lead being partially or fully disconnected. When finished charging, remember to unlock the car before removing the charging lead, since the effort required to remove a locked lead is quite significant... and you'll look like a goose yanking on the lead until you remember to unlock the car first... ! :D

    I did 7 back to back DC fast charging before using the slow 7.2kw AC charging. The range at 100% has dropped from 400 to 398. Some folks say thats not degradation. What exactly is it then? One owner I know got it back to 400 from 396. My odo is 8600km and 8 months old

    After continuous DC charge, the vehicle will kick in its battery management system. It basically means it won’t charge to “real” 100%. You will need to do AC charge to equalise the battery. Do more AC circles.
