11:02 Outro - You DO NOT have to watch this
So disappointed that the sun roof is no longer available in the uk
Great videos, been very helpful with getting to know our new ZSEV.
Standard range LFP Battery is ok to charge to 100% regularly…. Long range battery formula better to limit to 80% unless your about to leave on a road trip…
These are vey good videos. Straightforward, useful advice.
Very good and informative video 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. Million dollar question. How do you use the air conditioner when you are dc fast charging? From what I understand the car shouldn't be in the ready mode when charging. If you put in the accessory mode ( starting without pressing brake) the HVAC will run off the 12V. The low 12v can cause other problems.
You can use partial air con while on accessory mode. It is only full AC motor but just can blow instead I believe. It does drain the 12v battery though and it is not recommended to run it for too long. The vehicle will give you 12v battery low warning if the 12v battery is getting low.
thanks Jerry....How to perform a voice control on ZS EV, say open sunroof?
This is unfortunately not available for NZ/ AU / UK spec. The voice control only works through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for phone voice command.
Sorry just realized this is available for UK spec but I don't know how to do it. We don't have this feature for NZ spec.
love the EV vids! first time ive seen the actual mag wheels lol.. underwhelming.. when is the MG4 hitting NZ?
September hopefully but who knows :)
Why is that while your foot is on the brake pedal and the windshield wipers are on, can you feel the movement on the brake pedal as the wipers move? Is this a normal on 2022 plate car.
Hey Jerry! Do you know how to update the built in Sat Nav? The only maps I've found were for EU not thr ANZ maps
I couldn’t get map updated either. There may not be an update available for NZ yet.
If I fold the door mirrors of the *MG ZS EV 2024* before locking the car, will they remain folded when you unlock the doors?
I notice you have the sunroof. Is it still available to buy with a sunroof?
Yes, in NZ and AU.
have you read the manual - it is literally in the manual that it recommends to only charge the battery to 80% for normal use to help with the battery health and only charge to 100% if you intend to do a long journey... so why would the manufacturers recommend this (which is the recommendation for all batteries, including in phones etc)... constantly charging it to 100% is not healthy for any battery.
They do have a trophy connect version - this can do OTA updates
@@paul28177 well, this video was done when the standard range is available in NZ. The standard range is LFP battery. No way to control it to 80%. LFP battery is fine to get to 100%
Hi jerry just wondering if it’s okay to charge the battery a couple times a day? I’m on the road for most of the day and I top up the battery at fast charging stations in the afternoons to keep me going and then I trickle charge to a 100% when I get home so I’m ready to go the next day , also does trickle charging equalise the battery?
It is fine. I don't think this will cause an issue.
Hi Jerry, I was wondering, is it normal to have a max 50kwh charging at a 200kwh charger? Is it software locked at this speed always? I have a MG ZS EV Luxury 5D 130kW. I read online it should be possible to reacht 98kwh.
Hi, the DC charging rate varies depending on all factors including SOC, temperature and etc. The highest charging rate will mostly be there when the battery is less than 30%. The charge rate will generally drop to 50kw after that percentage.
How can get maximum power while doing a fast charge in a fast charging station ? I always get around 50kwh in a 150kwh charging station..
The fastest power only kicks in at around 10% to 30%. Once it is over that percentage of charge, the rate will drop back to 50kw ish.
Thank you, so for a long drive I need to plan 1 hr charging? I was having an impression with ccs charger the car can charge around 92kwh..which the car claims..
Is battery heating can help to receive fast charging ?
The battery heating is only useful if you are driving in very cold weather before getting to a fast charger. Otherwise, it won't help much.
Can the car battery to charge the home battery?
V2L? Yes

And the clunky noise when pressing on the break while reversing or moving forward after reverse? The dealer have changed the brake pads and the noise is gone however noise is back after few weeks, anyone know what else it could it be?
We have had some squeaky brake noise even from Gen 1 EV. It is related to the material they use. Not much can be done.
My back spoiler lights is nit going off??
Check with the dealer.
