MG ZS EV review after 3 months 

I think compressor below half is not working at all because it's used to be a heater?. But this is Thailand. How on earth you need heater in Thailand. So they remove it?

Bjorn You can switch off the radio, just press home button and hold for few seconds. It will switch off the radio, entertainment screen and display the clock till you press it again.

Nice Video, very informative, thank you.

Great informative video Bjorn 👍

Three-phase power to the home seems like the way forward .... are there green energy electricity providers in Thailand?

Tack för informationen

Thanks for the review. I nearly bought one here in Thailand, enjoyed the test drive. Anybody know about the road tax for an EV in Thailand?

on my MG EV we have had that screen issue 6 times so far, also I think the curse control is for a fossil car rather than an EV so like you I have it by hand to get better range.

Bjørn: Can you change halogen bulb with Xeon HID (kit) or with LED bulb ?

Hi Bjorn, great vids. I have a house in Sakon Nakhon where I stay for from November to March when it gets too hot for me. I'd love to get an EV to use in Thailand but if I drive to Bangkok that's 650km so I'd need to stop for charge 2 or 3 times. Can you tell me if the public charging network in Thailand is adequate to support buying an EV, please? Can you also tell me how much (in Thai Baht) the MG ZS EV costs, please? Thanks

Thailand is awesome! Hope to visit someday.

Hi! Great review!!

Bjorn on the UK MGs the radio can be turned off by pressing the centre button and holding until the screen blanks and clock display shows in the centre screen. Thanks for your great vids, stay safe.

is that rhd same as uk? so what you think of it in europe ? struggling to find a decent 30kw leaf so thinking mg

Hi Bjorn, Dave in France here. Thanks very much for this video, I ordered one of these cars - a ZS EV luxury - just yesterday (11/09/2021) !!! Picking it up on thursday. The dealer lent me the car for a couple of days so I could play with it. The style of presentation on the main centre screen appears to be a bit different to your Thai one, but it will have a big update before it is delivered to me, so maybe it will change?

I just got the 2020 Leaf 40Kwh version and if driven for what it is intended then Rapid gate isn't a problem. My wife however intends to buy the ICE version of the MG when her Mazda CX-30 needs to be replaced. Thanks to your video I'll try and steer her towards the EV version if its available when she buys. To me Leaf or MG doesn't matter its being a EV that is so important going into the future, economically at least.

Which car would you say is best buy for Norway? Ioniq 38kw?

Thanks for the review. As an owner of European ZS EV its interesting to compare notes. Of course, so far only cold weather use and the heated seats are really efficient if only there was an intermediate setting rather than on and off!. The comments on the lane assist bongs and ACC Braking I fully agree and I guess the applying of brakes to slow the MG rather than a combine regen then breaking makes for a simpler system design but not something for everyday use as I had hoped. Maybe there will be an update for the lane assist but I'm not holding my breath in that one. The keys in car warning is a pain and if my wife gets out of passenger seat and closes the door before I leave the bongs start (not the horn) and even after I have left and locked the car with keys in my pocket it can keep on bong bong bonding! until you cycle lock, unlock, lock again. I have found a hack to turning the radio off so that it doesn't turn on when the MG powers up. It might not work with the Thai software though. With the car in 'Ready' and radio on press and hold for 3-5 seconds the 'Home' button (in the centre of the central knob beneath the main infotainment screen) until the radio goes off and on the European model, the clock appears. Now when the car is powered down and then powered up again the clock comes on but not the radio. The European model may not have an App but does have DAB digital radio which in the UK is much better and stable in the MG than my 2015 Honda CR-V. I'd really look forward to an in-depth video on the Thai infortainment system and I just wonder if there is a hack to install it on the Euro MG?

youre so genuine

This is a really good and fair review. My experience is exactly the same as Bjørn's, including that damn radio startup and the chirping horn (my main 2 gripes). It is the most enjoyable and fun car I've owned, and I look forward to every trip in it.
