Cheers Wes I'm very pleased with how it drives so smoothly & quietly, The one pedal driving is the best it makes for a very relaxing drive

One of the things I didn't realise when I went for the test drive back at the beginning of November last year was the antenna! It's too tall to get in the garage You don't usually see those antenna on cars these days as they're mostly the shark fin type. I suppose it keeps the price down



I ended up buying a stub aerial off ebay for the princely sum of £4.69 to replace the long antenna which I had to fasten down with a lerry rigged long elastic band tied to the rear wiper arm to get in & out of the garage.
Jobs a good un with no loss of DAB radio signal.

One thing I really like about this MG ZS EV this time of year is the heater by the time I've driven the car out of the garage locked the garage doors & got back in the car the heater is already warm, It's almost instant heat

That is impressive.
Does it have a Webasto Fuel Burning Heater fitted?

It depends on so many factors you'll get a different answer from everybody, It all depends on the time of year/season how cold or hot the battery pack is, your driving style etc.

The official figures are 167 miles on urban/mixed driving & 200 miles pottering around town.


I picked the car up with 11 miles on the speedometer so It's got no history of my previous driving. I drove around 40 miles on the day I picked it up and plugged the "Granny charger" in to test it was working OK. After a four hours charging it was showing a range of 134 miles on a full charge in Winter months. The range will change quite a lot until the main battery pack has had some balanced charging.

Blimey! I rang a friend up in the next street to me to ask how he went on with the electric upgrade. He was also having his electric supply upgraded by the DNO on the 7th-8th February, it's an Identical house to ours with three houses sharing a shared loop supply.


Same story as me! the guy in one of the houses there has had a positive covid test & they've cancelled there too because they need access inside his house.

We're never going to get this sorted out at this rate , The DNO are coming here on the 23rd 24th February to upgrade our supply, I don't know if we've been pushed back now It'll have to be the granny charger again to charge up.
