will still watch "10 Things I Love about my MG ZS EV". Not only that, but will LIKE the video too!
I would love to watch 20 things that you like about the car
Me too
i guess there are not 20 things to like
can't do it
I would like that too
It's 20 quid cheaper than its rivals.
I am in the UK, I really don't mind the annoying issues! More than half of them is relating to the app, which we don't have. Very practical for me, I charge mainly at home every few days .. always reliable in that aspect. Don't need to go to a petrol station anymore, which is a plus nowadays. I wholeheartedly recommend it if you don't do long journeys frequently.
I think while you are with the MG, will be helpful if you do more videos about the car.
BMW i3 = Bluetooth connection only works when the moon is full, the driver is the seventh son of a seventh son, and the car feels like it on that specific day.
Must be your i3. Mine is fine.
2 things I do not like about my Nissan Leaf are: there is no sensor for the washer fluid and the fact that every time you start the car, the infotainment screen asks if I agree for Nissan to get information from the car. Every time it asks!!!
Firmware upgrade
Ny I3S fullt charged from 2019 has no issues, but the BMW app is not always showing up to date info from the car
Please do the things you like about it. I love my MG but not knowing SOC or battery health will be an issue.
10 things I hate about my model 3:
■ Seat belt is trying to strangle me
■ You have to engage autopilot constantly when driving on the freeway (I don't have FSD)
■ Sometimes it takes forever to wake up the car from the app
■ For the price it should be way more soundproof
■ It starts to break (well, regen) way too soon on cruise control, even when set to the shortest distance
■ I use PIN to drive - why do I need to press "allow" after entering all 4 digits?! Even my phone knows when I am done entering my PIN code and automatically continues
■ Tesla service is .. not great
■ Music volume is not lowered when navigation instructions are being read
■ If I use the drop down status/notification bar on android I can open frunk/trunk with 1 click - if I do it from the app it needs confirmation - why?!
■ If I charge, it finishes and the car goes to sleep, I cannot unlock the charge port without waking the car up
Then there's the car sometimes not going to sleep, having to reboot it every now and then and other weird software issues. Tesla should really feature freeze the car and start removing all the bugs instead.
@bochap21 No, if you do it from the car it is one click. If you drag down the status/notification bar in android it is also one click.
But if you open the app and try to open the frunk/trunk there you need to confirm it, so 2 clicks.
@@haveaseatplease Well the soundproofing is not bad as such, especially in city or country road driving (0-80 km/h), but on the motorway (110-130 km/h) it sounds like my old Kia Ceed from 2009 which cost $30.000 less
mine lowers music when Navigation/Notification comes on.
This review seems to be based on the old software version. Do the regeneration problem is solved with the software update?
The only way to do something with this list is to take the car that SAIC Motor's (MG) boss has and give him a MG ZS EV and force him to use it each day. And no private driver cheat ! After a month with boing's he may give up and get his programmers to take action :)
My biggest issue with my Tesla M3 is that because I live in Europe I won't be getting the Traffic light autopilot update any time soon :(
This. and the nagging is too often.
Hi, Have you found an issue regarding rusting?
e-niro UK, only thing I can of is it insists on having lane departure ON an auto-hold OFF at each restart, even though I turn them OFF and ON repestively..... not found a way to change this default.
Lane departure is a nightmare. I have the ioniq. On my first day it steered me back into a massive pothole at 50mph which I was avoiding by nearing the edge of my lane. The two bangs were horrendous. I hadn't realized that it always goes back on when you turn off the car. Really dangerous feature.
At least you get the app! In the UK we don't have an app available.
I would also love to see you list the things that you like about it.
Also do you have any information on the upcoming MG5?
Apologies if you have already done it, I must have missed it.
It’s out there. Search on TH-cam.
In my Kona, the front seats do not have a save/memory setting. So the seats have to be adjusted when different drivers use it!
I can live with that. It's still an awesome car 😎
I have a 2019 Niro EV in Canada bought almost a year ago. Only a few hundred imported. Auto Hold (car is held in placed when stopped by the brake) setting is turned off when car starts. I can see turning it off for some situations but why not keep it on. No spare tire,no jack, just a leak kit. For a long extended trip I would worry. There is room to stow a compact spare kit if bought one. My model has a moon roof which I find useless. The brake calipers were large enough so that my 16" snow tires on steel rims from the Toyota won't fit. Needed 16 " alloys. The odd time android auto when playing music will flip to the radio for a few seconds. I have the UVO (Kia app) which has an LTE Sim to connect to the car to get car information, adjust settings, heat, cooling, etc. It is relatively slow (30 seconds slow?) to make a change and report back that it is successful. Some weird readings like reporting the charge setting level is 110‰🤔
Front port to charge is great except it can get snow or ice int the cover and could freeze and be a pain if you are away from home and need to charge. The adaptive Radar control can be blocked by ice or slush. Much to love otherwise. ❤️
I wouldn't want the auto hold on... but then, why not make it possible to leave it in whatever setting has been selected previously - would be a good solution
I'm very interested in geting the MG5 EV which shares a lot of components with this. So it's pretty good to hear there is nothing major on this list of dislikes.
How long does it take to fully charge this EV?
hey Bjorn, can you vlog your trip back to Norway? (ie. going to the airport, lounges?, boarding, flight (food + walk around), layovers if any). Thx!
Can you send this to MG ?? If you have, did they say they would look at the issues ?
Is there an app for this car
How is the app called????
When you buy the car..do they give u vintetdekk ? and how many? and where do u store it if u get4
No need for vinterdekk in Australia.
I have to turn off line assistant every time I start my car because is on by default in my Škoda citigo IV. 😩
ผมอยากทราบว่าการชาร์ทไฟบ้านที่ถูกต้องนั้น ไฟที่บ้านควรเป็น 2 หรือ 3 เฟส และมิเตอร์ไฟ ควรกี่แอมป์ แล้วเต้าที่รองรับการเสียบชาร์ทเป็นเต้ารับพิเศษหรือป่าวครับ
Thanks Bjorn, you are the reason why I am a new Tesla mod 3 owner. But there are things to improve. I am used to adaptive cruise control since many years and it's not working well in Tesla.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control:
When activating it should set to the actual speed and not to the detected speed limit. It doesn’t work well.
When reactivating the cruise control it should return to the latest activated speed, not to the detected speed limit.
When quickly rolling the right scrolling wheel it should change 10 km/h, not 5.
Adjusting following distance:
The longest distance, 7, is too close to traffic ahead.
In my opinion seven steps to adjust the following distance are way too much. Four or five steps are enough.
How are those things today June 14th 2021 ? Hope to get my car in a week or two. :)
I've really enjoyed your videos and bought my own MG ZS EV this week (in Thailand).
I was wondering if you have managed to get Android Auto working on it? Or, do you know if it is not possible? The MG people said it would work, but they say a lot of things...
Probably download the latest API from somewhere and use that. It wasn't available in the Norwegian app store. I had to do that for it to work on my B250e.
@@Baisemannen Yes, I have done that. It seems MG in Thailand use another proprietary app to connect your phone to the car, but its pretty useless. They expect the driver to use the built-in navigation system.
I guess that's kinda OK, as no one is really going to take a long trip in one of these cars, especially in Thailand, where even if you drive from MG dealer to MG dealer in order to use their (free) fast chargers, not all of them have been commissioned yet. Public charging is virtually nonexistent outside of Bangkok.
I would be great to know which ones of these has been fixed and which ones are still there. I wouldn't say these are dealbreakers, but I'd still like to know before buying the car.
The HUGE problem about my EV is that it has a DIESEL motor instead of an electric one! 😩
Did you try to return it to the dealership? 🤔
@@Bulat_B it's from 2008! 😁
Same here 😊
Hi Bjørn I have Ioniq Ev , absolutely love it ! Nothing bad to say ! Might only have 250km range but the trade off is quick charging! Wish Hyundai would bring out mk3 version with 500 km and more powerful charging ! And maybe 2 USB in rear ! Lol
Something that drives me nuts about my e-Golf is that it insists on locking the charge flap and the charge connector, and unlocking the doors stops charging, it almost seems random sometimes. I have had a couple of cases where I was at a public station that required an app or a card to start charging, then after starting the charge I realized I left something inside the car so when I opened the door it stopped charging and I had to start the whole charging process over again. Very annoying.
My Chevy Volt does the same triple honk that your MG does when the key is left in the car, I agree that is it annoying and even embarrassing at times.
Few dislikes on my M3P: 1) auto wipers. 2) front camera doesn’t update speed limit indicator on console. 3) lack of power front and rear trunks. 4) wind noise. 5) turning radius.
Appreciate your effort. But am glad there appears to be nothing that cant be sorted by software updation. I hope these have all been ironed out by now because I intend to go for the 2022 version. Cheers.
I love my X but the 7 passenger configuration does not allow the second row of seats to fold down. Also the falcon doors were cute at first but are mostly a pain. Heaven forbid you should have to get into the back seat while in a garage. Waiting patiently for my Y to arrive.
How about the chargeport? It seems clumsy to use an possibility to freeze on winter etc.? You have to bend over when connecting cable?
I don't mind bending over.
@@bjornnyland I do. It hurts. 😉
After practicing a few times I can charge my eZS, and replace the connector covers, without looking
It will only hurt the first time. Then it's better.
Not using regen to brake when cruise control is enabled should be a crime!
.
If you're using cruise control downhill you could potentially death by brake failure.
.
Even in fossil cars you need to use engine break to go downhill. I don't own a car with cruise control so I don't know if it will use engine break automatically.
Most fossil cars iv'e driven with cruise control don't use engine break automatically, the only one's that did were both Citroen's so I would guess that also applies to other PSA vehicles.
how’s reliability been?
I like you for giving us real honest reviews with no hesitation. 👍
I got the 2020 Kona with app and hopefully it's got more features coming because while I like scheduling climate controls and lock/unlock the car, the missing feature allowing online driving privilege is missing like on Tesla's.
The app visual has a vehicle that's not a Kona, hopefully the next revision has the actual representation of the car rather than some rando generic car. And if anybody knows how to remove the terms of service screen with confirm button that comes on each time the car starts, that would be great.
Smart for2. It doesn't have an app to manage it in my country. Second is that the radio and car have different clocks and both of them are rubbish. They will lose time and get of of sync so you constantly have to adjust them. You can set it for pre cooling/heating over night and there are times when it just passes the time and will not start. The rad use has no use since it brakes very slow so you automatically crash if you use it and the car infront brakes harder.
I have a 2020 40kwh Leaf. the main thing I am disappointed in is the screen that pops up in the infotainment screen that requires you to hit OK every time you start the car. Surely once is enough.
Also the constant beeping when a door is open. There should be a way to disable this as there are times when you need to have the door open, such as cleaning the inside, Vacuum and the such. Otherwise great car, love it.

I have a Gen 1 Chevy Volt right now, and honestly, most of the things I don't like about it are software. Mostly the infotainment system. Otherwise, the drive train is great and the build quality is decent. My biggest gripe with the infotainment system is that it has to "Index" the music in the USB drive every time I start the car. So 2-3 minutes after starting the car that I can't change the music. I can pause and sometimes skip songs, but I can't change to another album or artist. So if I want to switch to listening to a different album, I have to do it while driving, or while stopped at a red light; Which I don't like doing. Also, the Bluetooth music is almost unusable. Every time I start the car, it forgets that it was connected to Bluetooth music and starts playing the radio. So I have to wait for BT to connect, then switch to BT music0. Then it will usually forget what song/album it last played and will just start from the beginning of my music library. I drove a Prius of a similar year and BT music worked perfectly on it. But Chevy really screwed it up.
I agree with all the point, excluding the App related points which as an owner of a UK European model I would excuse (for a time at least), if only we had App support over here in European markets. Of course, I would add to the pre-cooling frustration that in Europe, unlike Thailand, we have heating and there is no preheating! Although having been through a mild UK winter I did find that the Resistive Heater very effective and the Heated Seats Too Hot! The heated seats seem to have been an ill-conceived afterthought having 1 high power setting how hard would it have been to put a two or three-stage heater then in winter you could drive with lower cabin heat setting. I feel a heater control home-brew modification coming on before next winter ;-) Most probably a relay and timer arrangement possibly using the same 12v powered WiFi controlled, eBay sourced, module that controls the timed PodPoint AC charging I use.
The aggressive Bongs when lane keeping of any description is frustrating to the point of turning it off for every journey other than dual-carriageway highways, (pre lockdown of course when such things were possible), which given the range of the MG, it is not intended to be used for lots of long road trips. Why Oh WHY is MG Pilot on by default since every long trip, when it might prove to be a "driving aid", since every trip begins with a local rural road or city street where the aggressive 'Tugs' on the steering and Bongs are both disconcerting and distracting if not dangerous. My wifee describe the effect to be "like driving on ice" and I agree that the unexpected and almost random steering input is like hitting standing water or black ice in a car of 1970's vintage.
I look forward to your extended MG ZS EV road trip in a European model and your comparative review.
My Ioniq 2017:
- no app support
- cant use preheating without connecting to the charger
- have to turn VESS off every time i start the car
I think the ioniq sounds great with VSS. Such a futuristic, calm sound
Agree with those 3 points. Lack of app & connectivity is the biggest one, which they solved in the new Ioniq of course.
My problem isn't unique: my GTE has a fossil under the hood :-P Also the sun visors don't extend and I wish that the 10km/h steps for the cruise control were relative to the last set speed and not round 10's. Other than that it's Golf, that is to say pretty well designed!
Great vlog Bjorn, I like that you call ICE cars "Fossil" cars, made me smile.
In the I3 you cannot see carging speed.
You cant limit the Max battery soc.
The phone app is very erratic.
Marcos Rodriguez having just ~18kWh who can afford to skimp on charge⚡️
@@Nobody_Famous , 30kwh ,
Everytime I start my Tesla it pops up the music interface... I generally want to set my nav first, maybe that's just me.
Agree
So software seems to be pretty important....🤔😃
I'm surprised that the design of the charge port and the way it opens didn't make it into your list!
I didn't notice that he'd missed that out myself. It's funny how you get used to things that you thought would be 'so' annoying.
@@try_to_guess_it No snow, true, but it's still dark down there and the way the flap opens upward means you have to bend way down to see in.
the more you read about it the more sense it makes, but the flap should definitely go higher not to hide the port, but rather go to the hood level (somehow).
Still no feature to add waypoints in the navigation of Tesla. Thats the biggest ding I miss in our Model S
Yes, make a "what i like about the mg" video 🙂😉
The only thing I hate about the Ioniq is, that it bugs me to turn it on when listening to radio and having the 'ignition' off. That annoys everyone in my family.
Wow, not being able to bypass those safety messages on startup and just being able to drive away is pretty sad. Sounds like MG has some work to do. I thought my 2013 Tesla was glitchy. You just made me love my EV that much more.
2013 "gen2" Leaf,
Missing a place to "hide" chargecables in trunk.
Rear wheel intrudes a lot in trunk.
App takes forever to refresh
Very slow "QC" with cold battery
While preheating, only uses PTC
GOM... Stopped looking at it a looong time ago.
Map, also stopped using that, rather use Google on phone.
Otherwise i "love" it.
There is no spare wheel in the boot of the new car. 2020 June.
The MG is available for sale in Denmark in June
Nice to hear hope Sweden gets a update also, how did you get the info about it ?
If MG keeps the promise on a firmware update in May most of these issues may be solved by then
Tesla Model 3
1- When playing music from a USB device, it never remembers the folder you were in and there's no way to go back to it after the car was asleep. You'll have to navigate back from the root, even though it's still plaxing the songs from said folder normally.
2- It should really come from the factory with a power liftgate and powered frunk. I always cringe when I have to push down on the hood to close the frunk, but I love using it otherwise.
3- EDIT, another thing I forgot to mention: I really hate the automatic high-beams on the model 3. half of the time it mistakes a reflective street-sign as another car and dim them, then go back to high and dim again and so on.. and the other half, then they detect oncoming cars way too late and I have to manually dim them. so most of the time I just don't use them. they are the most annoying thing about the car I would say.
Other than that I really can't complain much. And that's complaining on a high level.
The USB thing can be fixed with an update and there's aftermarket solutions for the trunk/frunk.
I have just got an MG5 and love it, such a cheap EV after having a p100d for 100,000miles
But...
I hate having to reset my charge box every time I plug in because the car won’t shake hands and take a charge from a live box
Also it doesn’t remember my driving settings and always defaults to level 2 regen and normal mode and turns off auto parking brake. Just stay as I left it because that’s how I like it!
Defiantly valid annoying features (imo) too!! thanks for the vid :) 👍
My Kia Niro EV:
1. I feel like things slide around in the trunk a bit too easily
2. Seatbelts seem to get twisted very easily after people take them off. When they are twisted, they make very annoying rattling noises.
3. Coldgate
4. If you want the privilege of preheating your car with the app, after the free trial expires you must pay $200+ per year for the feature.
5. Lane Departure Warning is useless. The only time it makes noises is when I am intentionally leaving the lane (e.g. to avoid a bicyclist to my right). The noises sometimes startle me. I feel like it makes me less safe, so I disabled it.
6. Lane Keep Assist is also annoying. It tries to steer me back in between the lines when I have a specific reason for wanting to move partway out of my lane to avoid something, e.g. traffic cones. Thankfully this could also be disabled.
7. No proximity warning when reversing. This only comes with the premium model for $5,500 more.
8. Blind spot warning does not consistently light up when vehicles are in my blind spots.
9. Blind spot warning lights up sometimes because of cars behind me in my lane, when the road is curved.
10. The drivetrain is somewhat noisy compared to other EVs I've been in.
I have a Santa Fe 2019model, great car, but one thing I don't like, is every time you start car, lane assist is the default, so have to switch it off every time.
The most annoying thing about my 2015 e-Up is, that it has no door control units. That means, you cannot let the windows up or down with the key fob, as with almost all VAG Group cars (its called "comfort locking") Not even when you put the key in the door lock, turn it and keep it turned. Not even the 2020 can do that ... Even my 2005 Skoda Octavia could do that 🤷♂️
I have a Bolt...and I really can’t think of a thing that bugs me except the fact that GM won’t pay for remote start, lock etc...it’s kind of a rip...
I'd add that the 'infotainment' system doesn't seem to connect with any device. It also almost never manages to do the distance that it claims it will at the beginning of a journey - today it said there was enough charge to go 150 miles but I barely got it to do 60 miles. And that was on the Economy mode.
Plus, I wish there was an app or way to check the charge on the car without having to go up to it and turn it on.
90 mile discrepancy...really !!!!
@@AndyM... I've learned from MG there is a fault with the battery software in some of these vehicles, including mine, that is causing this issue. Taking it in for some software update that's mean to ensure I get closer to 160miles on a full charge
@@alexpierre-traves3907 Phew, that'd be great if it was an easy fix...good luck, am looking at one of these myself !
I have a question. Today i did a test drive in a hyundai kona electric. It was a pleasure to drive it. I learned alot about the kona from the man in the hyundai dealer. But he told me also about the one paddle drive. If you must change the break you must change a complete unit because of the one paddle system. He know some people with Nissan leafs that had to change the left and right brakes so the complete units. That had to pay €8000. I ask him is that also with the Kona or Ionic? He tells me that they got the same system it didn’t happend but it could be . So lets say tou buy a 2015 leaf for 15.000€ and you drive it 2 years. And the. You have tp change the units.. 8.000€.. or you wait for the Kona or the ionic until that cars are 15.000 or 20.000 and you have the same problem.. i don’t like that. Do you know something about this?
I've driven the Kona electric for over a year, 25k miles and the brakes are 5% worn, so doing a bit of maths, you'd need to drive the car for 300.000 miles to get 60% wear LOL. Not sure what he means by "one pedal system", but there is no one-pedal system in the Kona. You can adjust recuperation with paddle shifters on the steering wheel, which brakes with the motor not the brake pads on discs (unless the car is fully charged). Not sure what you mean by "complete units" ?? Brake pads and discs? Those certainly don't cost more than a couple of hundred quid...
The kona i drove yesterday had one paddle drive. If you lift the paddle the car brakes
I also don’t fully know what he was talking about because i’m not a technical guy. But it sounds scary
What do they call the "complete unit" ? I have the Ioniq and it has standard break pads and standard discs. So no need to change anything else when it is worn out. Also, the car has 90000km and the breaks are like new. Well, I have to force the car to use the friction breaks once in a while to remove the rust from the discs.
Brilliant thanks ☺️

My *2011 Think City A306* ⚡🚗 has no glovebox, it's difficult to store things safely, just a couple of nets in the trunk, and the designers have chosen the worst place to place the controls of the electric windows, in the center of the console, very close to the gear lever😓.
Wow, what a rare EV. Never heard of it before.
I love my e-Niro in Denmark but since I bought it I was sure that we would get hitch on it and UVO app later on for EU. Now the feeling is that KIA forget innovation among us owners and do the innovation for the new owners. It's said that hitch never will be allowed for the existing cars in EU. The e-Niro would be the perfect EV for pulling trailers.
Anyway, I love my e-Niro.
The Niro HEV and PHEV versions have a tow-hitch available, maybe you could try one? Also, a bloke in the USA has put a tow-hitch onto his e-Niro, supplementary airbags on the rear suspension, and uses the car to tow a single-axle car trailer with a Mazda MX-5 on it.
Tim Jefferson Thank you for the tip. I have already seen this guy making the hitch on an e-Niro but it will never be approved in Denmark or EU without help from KIA.
4:52 I thought it was your childens name hahah
I just heard that soon in a few month we can buy/order it in Denmark !
I'm thinking of getting it. Only thing holding me back is supporting the Chinese regime to be quite frank. Would love to support their people, but not their government/dictator.
@@ionicguy4919 fortunately , these cars a produced over 800 Km to the east of the Uighur concentration camps . So SAIC are not using slaves to build these
Below list (UK non app) was passed to MG motors UK in Jan . They were working on fixes and updates , but covid in China and now EU has delayed possible updates ..
Bongs when changing lanes using MG Pilot
Bongs when passenger gets out
Bongs when starting - sequence takes longer than most people's sex life
Charging Speed on Rapid (coldgate)
Lights for rear passengers
Facelift/updated version with towing?
Plan for app/timer in future?
Horn honking - how to disable
ACC using friction brakes instead of regen
Possible to see battery info (trip efficiency etc) on main screen
In-car timers for pre-heat / charging
Auto High-Beam appears possessed
Battery Percentage remaining on the dash somewhere.
E208 is the same, has to be locked when AC charging. Also app is pretty useless.
And e208 doesn't have recoup levels other than "B".. and the infotainment screen doesn't go back to home but stays wherever you left it + it's not very user friendly. And then there's the hidden cruise control lever, which you have to learn to operate blind because you can't see it!
@@ruedigerpreiss9307 My wife's C4 Grand Picasso does a weird thing: "when the radio is off, receive a call from the bluetooth connected phone, when you hang up the radio comes on" as the software in the e208 looks similar I wonder if it has the same issue, or if PSA has fixed this in newer vehicles?
Great video.
Citroen C-zero (aka Mitsubishi I-miev).
It is an I-miev but with even less features than the original. Yes it is possible. Well I would say that it is a good thing that it is basic as it is the purpose of this car and also there is less things to go wrong. But...
It doesn't have a clock, the heater is very bad and takes a lot of energy (compared to other EV). It has a shifter instead of buttons. It has a chademo plug instead of ccs. Has some black piano cheap plastic, not possible to setup any charge parameter like max charge percentage, not possible to have a trailer and this is bad as this small car is perfect in the country side to move a lot of things around as it has a lot of room inside when you lower the back seats.
No.9 Even HSD can regen while CC active... hmmmm
For me on Tesla model 3 is sterling radius.
Basically your top 10 issues is just one thing: Chinese software quality. It has improved significantly the last decade (I remember their media players etc) but it is still their greatest weakness.
I'll add how when you have lane assist on, every time you go near the line (which is about every 30 seconds in my case) it bongs at you and puts up the message, you have to press the right arrow to get back to the digital speedo. Very annoying and dangerous imo. You've got your eyes in the cab and not out of the windscreen. The only answer is to turn off something that you've paid a lot of money for :(
No 11 Battery Cooling Noise
Don’t forget this issue sir. 😸😸
Thanks mate / excellent !!!!!😀
For #1, I have found you have to be overly patient and the status (locked & air-con) will update to the correct states if you wait a bit longer than you expect or want.
#4: Something that will help with the battery/charging status is to force-quit the app (I know, I know, you shouldn't have to).
#5, 6, 7, 8, and 10: You are 100% right! The most annoying ones for me are the starting radio and the honking and the radio in reverse and the bing-bong (but I can ignore that last one).
Bjørn rocking the Asian fuzz!
Annoying MX: Music starts when leaving, no ampere-adjust through app, vampire-drain-complex, no 360 view, beeping starts with >=20 km/h and never stops while parking/shifting over/short replacements, no trust anymore to door sensors.. and so on.. Oh! No love to hate, but to rant 🤗
2 annoying things about my Hyundai Ioniq classic: No app support, beeps to often in lane assist, which makes the passengers nervous. It is even when holding the steering wheel, on a straight road with no torque applied to the steering wheel.
I have the same 10 things in my MG ZS EV. But I still love my car :-)
Me too.
Kona Electric
- No app in 1st version and in the 2nd generation apparently the app sucks.
- Doors (especially boot) need some force to close (even after tweaking adjustments). Every time I drive another car then come back to Kona, I need to get up again to bloody shut the boot!
- Charging literally impossible with Ecotricity chargers (UK)
- Phone has to be plugged in to use Android Auto / iPlay, which can get the phone quite hot when using SatNav and music streaming etc.
- No soft pads for storage spaces & cup holders - surely these can't be too expensive for a £35000 car?!
- Some Kona Electrics make subtle but noticeable strange noises from the electric motor (only some!) and mine happens to be one of them grrr!
- Bad sound proofing. Just bad. Come on Hyundai, sort it out!!
- Too much torque for FWD only. An AWD version would be SOOO cool! I'd buy it! Please make it - we wants it!
- All lights LED please. Who wants old fashioned incandescent lamps nowadays??
- Why stop at 111mph? Make it go 150mph (just for fun)!
My problem us I don't yet own my Tesla Model Y.
Annoying features about my EV!? That's a tough one because the little annoyances are so easy to fix.
Hyundai KONA EV 2019. 20.000km
1. When driving in snowstorm the charge port tends to freeze and fill with snow. Fixed with a seal around the rim.
2. Lack of app in EU? Doesn't concern me, car is always parked overnight in garage and can be heated in utility mode during the day with no time limit (shutoff at 20% battery). No Sentry mode. fixed with great Blackvue 2ch camera system with dedicated battery and live view app with WIFI dongle.
3. Lack of frunk. Fixed by www.frunk.at
4. Annoying VESS sound. Fixed by unplugging
5.......maybe lack of tow bar. But it's now fixed as of april 2020 as it can be installed and available also new in EU with the opening of the Czech manufacturing plant.
The positives are much easier to list. The car is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the frunk upgrade link! VESS unplugging? Please share the secret :) - ps. I simply switch it off every time I start. Actually on occasion back on, when there are oblivious pedestrians in front of the car - can be useful! :D
Thank you for the frunk link. I just sent them an email asking them if they plan to do something like this for the Ioniq :)
MG4?
Here's where I dream of having a Citroen 2CV again. 😂
The annoying thing about the older leaf, 30kwh is that u think u can just press the start button and drive off, but no, you have to wait a few seconds which gets really annoying cuz EVs are technically always on!
Not really always on. It has to start computers, turn on some relays, do some checks to see if everything is OK... and it takes some time. But yes, it could start the turn on sequence right at the moment we unlock to door and turn off the car when we lock the door (and have a manual override when we don't want this feature like a "camping" mode).
The biggest problem, with my EV, is that i don't have one! Still to pricy in DK to my paycheck.
Kona: wipers stop in the middle of the windshield if I turn off the car while wiping.
Haha yes agreed ... but that's only a problem for people with OCD :D
Really? That’s some ‘90’s shit man 😛
@@thomasschoovaerts8385 My old 2009 Kia Ceed also did that.
2016 Outlander PHEV also does it. I couldn't believe it when I first got the car and it happened. As has been said, that is some 90s sheeit!
Not having an app is annoying with the old Ioniq, but I'm not sure if it's better that way. Might be some shitty app like from some other manufacturers.
All the beeps can also be annoying. After a while your know what the beeps mean, but they will still scare the heck out of passengers.
You can't change the regen level while in cruise control mode. It won't change anything, but sometimes I want to turn off cruise control and it starts with hard regen. Would be nice if the setting could be lowered before turning it off.
You can't unlock the charge port with the key if the car is turned on. For unlocking you need to press the button in the door.
15.000 km service interval is really annoying. Going to the garage every 6 months.
Automatic windscreen wiper also is annoying me a lot.
Automatic lights are so slow. If you go through a really short tunnel it will turn in the light when you have already left the tunnel. Then it takes some time and it will turn it off. But I noticed on other Hyundai's, it's the same with them.
No need to change regen setting in CC because it slows down with the motor 100% except emergency. With regards to Regen level when switching off CC, have you tried to gently apply some accelerator whilst switching CC off - solves it for me :).
@@ruedigerpreiss9307 Yes solves the problem on mine too, but it is true that it would be nice to be able to change the regen while still in CC.
Also, I would love to have to service the car every 6 months, we are doing so many km that we have to service it every 4 months. Yes, 15000km service interval is really annoying. Fortunately it is cheap.
Annoying things about my EV (VW E-Golf):
1) Climate control resets temperature to 22°C and set it to auto w/o AC. It doesn't remember previous setting (temperature or fan speed).
2) Can only change settings when the car is on, but in park. So. key must be in the car to change any setting. Because it's touch screen, it doesn't let passenger change the settings while vehicle is in motion / drive.
3) Most of the time, to remove the charge cable from level 2 or DC quick charge requires door lock/unlock cycle.
4) Top speed at 85MPH is adequate for most driving situations, except when you're on the highway trying to pass an a-hole Californian driver who speeds up in parallel to prevent passing, then slows down when you get behind 'em.
5) Low-res backup camera basically useless at night.
If the followers here only wants the negative of the EV's, then I am really in the wrong place. To get a real picture, I would like to have the pluses and minuses of a car to know how good or bad it is. Nothing is only positive or negative. A balanced view is what makes a review interesting.
Bjorn has done plenty of balanced reviews as well but he's right. If I have to decide between two things on Amazon, I always read the negative reviews first ;)
