Just got a 2020 one very pleased with it comfy easy to drive great value for an EV. Unlike my previous leaf have heating and heated seat on all the time without worrying about range get the ohme smart charger with it easy peasy cheap motoring with Octopus.
Hi Mike, I am keen to get One of these. You almost put me off by your laclustre presentation. I am still swayed by the 16 others I have seen and by the owners I have spoken to. Try and improve your delivery.
Mike when you had your windows tinted did you have the fronts done? I find my arms burning, I can’t recall it happening in previous cars including the leaf. When I enquired about tinting I was told front are not allowed.
I have had mine tinted from and back. You can add another 5 percent I think it is to the front makes a world of difference. Speak to your local tinting experts they advised me legally what I could have.
Hi Mike, did you disconnect the battery beforehand? Also looks like that fuse is for the front power socket - is that always on? Just thinking in regards to the dash cam being able to power on if it senses being hit when parked.
Great video Mike, found you via the Facebook group 👍 Just a little question please, that might be strange. The radio, how many preset bands does it have? I mean like DAB 1 DAB 2 FM 1 FM 2. Thanks for your time
Thanks for vids. Can you use Octopus Agile. I didn’t think the ZS EV will automatically start charging again if it is switched off by you or Octopus or smart charger. Hope to get my MG shortly
Yes you can use Octopus Agile (with the Ohme Cable). I have had the first BMS update from December and my car so far has been waking up after several hours of being plugged in
Hi Mike, great video that's really informative. I'm just about to follow your lead and install a Nextbase 522 dashcam. Have you installed the rear-facing camera too? I've heard that it can interfere with the DAB radio.
good video. (again). Are you having issues with the horn when getting out of car and unloading or letting kids out of the back. my car horn goes off at least daily, and neighbours not impressed
Hi Mike....thanks for the great videos....I'm about to get my ZS EV....I've never had an electric car before....What charging apps and cards do you recommend me to get for when I go on longer journeys?
Thanks. I have PlugShare, Zap Map, Watts Up, A better route planner, Pod Point, Shell ~Recharge, Ionity, Smoov, GeniePoint (I think that is just a web page link) and Electric Highway. I also have Polar Plus Membership.
Thanks for sharing. Do you know if the fuse you opted to piggy back powers the camera when the car is off/parked? Or does the 522 parking mode work off a backup battery?
@@MikeProcter1 Thank you. I read on their web site last night that the 522 smart parking mode uses an internal battery which means the hardwire kit doesn't need to piggy back an always on fuse. 👍
Wirk if warning gard wiring a dash cam invalidates yiyr vehicles ekrvttuxsl warrenty unless its at an mg dwsker as an official dealer option thus us ygr same with all motor manufacturers they have put a realud out in tge motor manufactures press about this so pkeadr be aware that if you srsrtgetting electrical faults on the car. The manufacture can say sorry you interfered with our electrics it your fault
Mike very helpful advice and no crazy music, what more can we ask !
Some very handy tips. I'll probably watch this again when my I get my car in March.
A software update is coming which will improve the efficiency - they are fixing the regen braking, which will make a huge difference.
Thank you Mike, very helpful tips .. keep them coming..

Very informative and great video as always Mike :-)

Great information.
Thank you so much.
Nice video Mike, thank you 👍
Great little video thanks
I'm thinking of getting this car next month

Bought a new one this week for 27.000 €. Good deal?
No phev. Good reg plate
Hi Mike, thanks for sharing your experiences. Just curious, how do you fit your iPad to the dashboard?
Hi may I ask if the dash cam only powers on on start up?
Sir please show the night interior view of mg ev
like button lights
What dashcam did you install?
Mike when you had your windows tinted did you have the fronts done? I find my arms burning, I can’t recall it happening in previous cars including the leaf. When I enquired about tinting I was told front are not allowed.
yes. The MG doesn’t have any tinting at all. Like 98% clear.
I have had mine tinted from and back. You can add another 5 percent I think it is to the front makes a world of difference. Speak to your local tinting experts they advised me legally what I could have.

Not yet, but I am planning on doing so.

occasionally if I open the car door and then it closes before I have got out!

Join the Facebook group and browse though many discussions about this
@Seawolf Thanks for the info....I'll download their app.

Where did you get the Radio screen protector?
5:42 seems cut down iPad plastic film protector
Great video Mike. What plans do you have to improve the bouncing when hitting potholes?
Steer around them? :-)
I reckon with the international success of this car, there will be third party suspension tuning kits coming onto the market
I will be dealing with that is a couple of weeks!
@@MikeProcter1 are you also planning on lowering it to imporve drag ?
Thanks for sharing. Do you know if the fuse you opted to piggy back powers the camera when the car is off/parked? Or does the 522 parking mode work off a backup battery?
I used the 15a fuse for the 12v I think. No it doesn't do parking mode. I have not enabled it in my Nextbase 522 yet.
@@MikeProcter1 Thank you. I read on their web site last night that the 522 smart parking mode uses an internal battery which means the hardwire kit doesn't need to piggy back an always on fuse. 👍
Dose this car has over-the-air updates?
No, you need to bring it back to MG for them to manually install it.
Do you like unemployment in
Europe ?
