- In our previous video, Simon reviewed the MG ZS EV (link at the end of this video). In this video, he goes for a long drive to see if he can get close to the claimed combined range of 440 km (WLTP).

Not just related to the MG but I reckon that if the published figure for ANY EV car was a 'Typical Winter Range' (about 75 - 80% of WLTP, probably, in most cases) then there would be fewer 'range shock issues' for new EV drivers - with the bonus of there being 'added range' in the summer!!
That’s a good point.
Good video, nice to see real world testing.
Very good video Simon I hope you do some more.
This test its giving good indicator how the car acting during the winter.
However the test is ot much relevant due to the car was not on charge 100% when the test start.
The battery charging and discharge is not linear function.
Lovely to see the new ZS in action, just one question though, how long did it take at Mayfield to get your 16℅ charge afterall?.many thanks for this review.
Around 20 mins, averaged 31kW according to the screen on the charge unit. Charging speed generally isn’t optimal on any EV when starting from an already high state of charge.
Nice
Thanks. Did the window tint work? Cheers.
What did the MG charge at during the 1st charge? I'm guessing approx. 50KW, looked like an average charger. Would've been great to have seen the lovely Irish roads/scenery. An informative video, thanks.
Great review, what was the high pitched screech from the charger in Gorey and could or would that happen from a domestic wall charger.
Domestic charge points make no sound.
Thanks Simon. Regarding the quote prices I got a quote of 38k after grants for the Exclusive. Which I thought was a bit much considering the advertised pricing starting at 32k. And as you mentioned it should be around 35k, so dealership markup?
i got a red Exclusive for 35400 , 2.9% PCP
@@paulgallagher6497 obviously being ripped off by an MG dealership. Good I don’t go for it then. 37500 without bells and whistles Exclusive.
I’m not sure where the discrepancy lies, I know you had a cost breakdown. Only extra I’m aware of is paint and the V2L cable but maybe there are ‘on the road’ costs too? Which dealer did you go to Roland? My order is on a business lease so I’ve not seen a breakdown.
@@nextecocar bluebell, same as you.
@@paulgallagher6497 Where did you get PCP from? I could see that dealer Linders Dublin shows on their website on HP, and nothing about PCP.
How’s the noice level in the car ? From the road etc.
I found it fine, I normally drive a Leaf 40 and didn’t notice much difference. The tyres are quite narrow compared to many of the recent EVs so that helps. Maybe I need to invest in a dB metre for future tests!
Did you have the battery heat pump on the whole time?
When I asked, it doesn't have a heat pump.
I have seen many videos of people driving the ZS EV. In those videos, the car was very quiet. Why was there so much background noise when you were driving? Did you have a window open or did the others edit the audio in their reviews?
Probably due to a combination of the road surface and the speed. Irish roads are not very smooth in most cases. It’s also possible that others have edited the sound.
What is the climate temperature set in the cabin?
Not sure. Fairly normal I think.
Hi what average speed was you doing on the test ? 65?
I think Simon mentions it in the video.
I'm at a toss between the MG ZS EV and the Ioniq 5.. any ideas??
That’s quite a difference, massive price difference between the two
@Wooly Chewbakker I too was comparing the new ZS and 5, and literally the only thing that put me off the MG5 was that it still uses Halogen headlights... like come on MG... putting candles on an EV in 2021/22? at least this will be sorted come march when the new MG5 drops, but I ultimately went for the ZS EV in the end as I knew the government grant was changing and I didn't want whatever I bought to cost me an extra 2 grand!
What was it like driving at night?
I only drove briefly at night but don't recall there being any issues with visibility or interior lighting, nothing that sticks in my mind anyway
Can you give miles too, its easier to understand for some of us. ;)
320km is approx 200 miles.
Are many chargers in Ireland PAYG ?
You can't swipe a credit or debit card at the charge points. You need to use either an app or a charge fob/card. ESB ecars offers a PAYG tariff or a subscription with slightly lower rates: esb.ie/ecars/price-plans/pay-as-you-go
Kilometres is annoying. We do miles in the UK and States. Most viewers will be from those areas.
But simple to convert.
