Thank again Bjorn. From someone in the UK who has managed to extract the SoC percentage, they came up with this information. 8 : 91-100% 7 : 80-91% 6 : 69-80% 5 : 58-69% 4 : 47-58% 3 : 36-47% 2 : 25-36% 1 :

holdontoyourwig Needs a full width boot without a lip. We have a Grand Voyager at the moment, so she is a little spoilt. Think large flat pack from Ikea size. With the MG, you don’t get the full boot width. The Mach E looks a possible and a Model Y or a second hand Model X. The seats on the Model X don’t fold flat, but it is a huge boot if you go for the 4/5 seater.

Analog gauges, I love it! Huge fan of them!

Thanks for revisiting this car for the summer test and software updates. I guess we now discover a race against the current PSA platform is useless due to the MGs lower charging speed and efficiency, but considering the price difference this car still represents very good value for the money. The similar priced Mini-E looks to be a Mini-fans only proposition.

Do you need to visit a dealer to get this software. I suspect there is no OTA possible? Can you now pre-heat the car while plugged in wihout draining the battery?

It is like you never age. Great video

Great work by MG

The new update gave me 22 km extra at full charge it showed 288km and it as been confirmed with the NAF test 310 km range 😁

Hei Bjørn. Skal du teste 2022 modellen?

Thanks for the video. Have they told you that they will fix the lack of regen breaking on cruise control? This seems like such an unnecessary flaw.

@UltimatePwnageNL

Maybe they took cruise control from an ICE car. Regenerative braking doesn't have the same deceleration curve as friction brakes and there needs to be a system to switch to friction brakes if the battery is full or the regen can't brake hard enough.

@manwithcorsae7738

@@UltimatePwnageNL You are right in your reasoning, as they took the cruise control from the ICE ZS. However, it's all down to the software as the Zoe manages to use regen under cruise control, but has the ability to switch to the friction brakes when the need arises.

Omg best parking with an electric car. Very well explained, thank you

What is the more proper way to measure tha battery capacity and deterioration? I'm renting an old EGolf which shows 14KWh/100km in city but after 100km I need to charge it with almost 18KWh in order to achieve the same state of charge as at the beginning of the drive. It takes about 20KW to charge the battery from 3 to 100% but I cannot drive more than 110km with one charge while thr average consumption on the computer is below 14KWh/100km.. really confusing.

Great news about the SW improvements! The radio thing is very annoying, but very happy with the MG. Live in Bangkok

Have upgraded software on my MG (last week), but Range to Empty does not appear in the display. Only shows clock down left. In your video, range to empty is constantly displayed. Is it a setting, or could it be that the upgrade is not complete?

Is the ACC Regen Problem fixed now? Do they fix it in the New Facelift 2022 Version?

Hi can you tell me will they change my car software with new one?

Are the software upgrades available in thailand? I bought my ZS EV in February. I love it, but it could use the updates you mentioned. Also, is MG Pilot a type of autonomous driving? Is it available on my version of the ZS EV or does it need more advanced sensors? Thanks!

Hey Bjørn. I got my self a zs but it does not have the software update yet. Does the software update also cover the issue with the accelerator pedal delay when you press it? The delay relay annoys me! My old leaf would move instantly when you pressed the accelerator which I loved!

Bjorn, I bought MG ZS EV after seeing your review, just got the car yesterday, can you recommend a 7kw EV charger to install at my home ? Ong from Singapore

Thanks for the interesting video! What is the firmware version which you reviewed?

Excellent video. I noticed economy mode and KERS/regen level 1 was used, not sure if HVAC was on or off? I would have been good to see the tests in the default settings i.e. normal mode and level 3 KERS. The range of course would have been lower.

Can you make a video of the charging speed on the HPC (in summer)?

Go Bjorn! With your feedback to MG the ZS EV will have all those annoying little bugs ironed out before we even get it in Australia, so we'll done. Dealers are telling us probably Dec 2020 for delivery here ☹️

Can you tell MG to change the screen on start up. You have to press the OK button to get the info to show. Why ?

11:40 these slight errors in distance should come from the different wheel sizes with different wheel circumferences (similarly, if you put bigger tyres on your car than standard, the speed that the speedo shows is lower than your real speed).

Great Videos Bjorn How much goes it cost each charge does it vari each time maybe you could put a price on your Spreadsheet

Nice parking uncle Bjørn!

Hi bjorn, do you have any news about the update you mentioned scheduled somewhere after august

We have a lot of short range cars entering the market. The Honda E, Mini E, even the new Mazda MX30 has a small battery. I love the look of them all but how do you do a long journey, if you have to? Can you test some of these?

Lovely review. When will you make a review of the MG Marvel r?

The Corsa-e is french now. Opel-Vauxhall (was GM) has been bought by PSA (Peugeot-Citroën). You can clearly see that the new Corsa is nearly identical to the e-208, just a few little cosmetic changes.

Some of those changes could be settings controlled by customer.

ýes good shiiieeeett!! I also love the new update, but i hope on more updates. like % state off charge and maybe some consumption improvements.

Are there over-the-air updates? This would mean it has a sim card, right?

Why is infotainment much slower and missing battery % on the Norway versions?

"MG ZS Bjørn Nyland edition"...! Not bad!

I think that the charging in the middle of 120 km/h test increased the range and reduced the consumption a bit vs. running it non-stop to the destination.

@bjornnyland

Consumption number doesn't change unlike on e-208/DS 3. So the consumption number in the end was in fact correct.

Bjorn, Thanks for the videos! Can you clarify the useable & gross size of the battery please - we have had conflicting information in previous videos noting the battery size @ around 50kw & 44.5 useable. Also many of the dealers in the UK are charging for the "convenience" updates anywhere from £40 to £175! ,although some have been facebook shamed into doing it for free for there own customers - MG UK is not supporting the dealers unfortunately.
