Hi Jerry , I live in England and owned my MG ZS EV since December 2022. Just wanted to say I’ve learned so much from watching your videos about my car , without your videos don’t know where I would be. I love this latest Video as I’ve experienced at least 4 of the issues you have covered. I’ve promoted just about all your videos covering this vehicle as I genuinely think they are the best for anyone waiting delivery or just taken delivery of the MG ZS EV. We have a MG ZS EV forum in the UK and I’ve copied the link to your channel to help others
Keep up the excellent work and no need to be camera shy 😂
Thanks Michael. That means a lot! Your sharing is hugely appreciated also. Enjoy your MG.
Great Video, you're a natural in front of the camera and no one comes close to the amount of knowledge you have on the mg vehicles you sell.
The man is a legend! I've learned more from him than any other YT videos about my MG ZS. Cheers Jerry
Great video! Useful tips especially the multiple app users tip.
Supper helpful to the other end of the world! Just got our MG ZS EV long rage last week, an you solved in this video issues we had . Greetings from Spain!
Thanks Jerry I have a new ZS EV here in Scotland 🏴, I have seen the battery not working warning but didn’t know why , so I will now always make sure my foot is down firmly before starting , I also didn’t know how to adjust the temp in the car from my app which I can now do , very helpful on a cold 🥶 & frosty morning , I really appreciate your advice , Thanks again 😊
Another excellent explanation Jerry 👍
It turned out great, Jerry!
Hi Jerry, just picked up our MG ZS EV Essence yesterday. Great video mate!! Great tips. I’m forwarding this to the dealer we used in Australia, they couldn’t tell me how I could have two devices using the car app.
Excellent video and very informative- thank you. I pick my new MG ev up tomorrow 😊
The man behind the camera is finally revealed! Great video as always Jerry, thanks for your help as always 👍
Thanks for the info. Good video. I have the 1st gen MG ZS EV.
Hey Jerry - thanks so much for this video. We took delivery in Perth WA last week and could not bind the car to the App. Multiple searches didn't get us any further until I found your video! Thank you so much for doing this and helping us now get it sorted! All your other tips are super helpful too. Well done!
Thanks a lot for the comment.
I had the issue you describe a 1020 ismart app not connecting on my MG ZS EV. Your solution worked well. Thank you very much for your vid. The vehicle distributor was not particularly helpful.
Great Video thank you
Just bought my MG ZS EV MY22 Essence….thanks for this info…..
These are so informative! You know way more than our dealer 谢谢您！
Thanks for the comment. 不客气！
Very good VDO.
Brilliant, well done sir
We have ordered an MG for delivery in a few weeks and being we will be over 300km from a dealership and service centre you have put my mine at ease with clear answers to questions that will undoubtedly occur within the first few months of ownership. Again this is the best information, sales support video I have seen for any product ever. Your attitude towards real issues. Yes they happened and this is how they are fixed. With the last hint about the charger you have probably saved every owner that watches this hours of stress and inconvenience.
This video should be installed on the centre console screen as standard.
Please do a clip on specifically MG ZST Vibe model with all problems, seems I am not that happy with the pick up of this car, I just got this last week, in Australia
Fantastic video Jerry. My wife has just ordered a MG ZS EV here in Hawke's Bay so I've been watching a lot of your video's today. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to making these videos. I'm already thinking of getting an MG for myself, and if I do, I'll came up to Auckland and talk to you!
Can I ask a question - do you sell the Vehicle To Load (V2L) cable to charge external appliances? Is this function even available in New Zealand? The dealer here didn't really know much about it.
Thank you once again, your videos have been invaluable. :)
Thanks!
V2L is available on the new MG ZS EV. The genuine V2L cable will be available soon in NZ.
@@JerryPanandCars Thank you!
very helpful 8th question. ive tried charging on a 50kw charger, worked first time. second time charger stopped then reconnected again then it went through. other cars have been charging without problem so its not the charger. it probably because the computer cannot communicate with the charger properly
How to force headlights off (or not turn on) even when radio is on? Nuisance at the drive-in cinema.
Can the car use a wifi Hotspot?
Can the mobile SIM be replaced for other markets?
1. not possible
2. no wifi for NZ version
3. probably not
Thanks Jerry, what camera did you use for filming and how do you switch between the two cams? Thanks.
I used the GoPro hero 10 on the dashboard facing me for recording plus voice and hand held the iPhone for videos towards the dashboard.
The GoPro video is the primacy video in the background and I added the iPhone video on top of the GoPro footage when editing. That’s the feature called PIP(Picture in Picture).
You’re a genius, thanks for all your videos. Just got am mg zs ev, I’m in uk and no matter what I done, I couldn’t get I-SMART to bind with my vehicle. That was until I watched this video. Thanks so much, you need a pay rise 👍
Thanks Thomas. Glad this was helpful.
@@JerryPanandCars I’m in Scotland and had to wait 18 months for the long range version. Well worth the wait 😊
With the last bit about battery issues with fast charging I'm having an issue with fast chargers where it will connect but immediately disconnect and ill get a message through the charger app saying session ended.
There are no alarms coming up on the car dash or app and this has happened 2 different branded fast chargers, Any thoughts?.
Thanks for the video. I have a question the dealers in Australia can't answer. In the NZ/AU spec, does the brake light come on when you use KERS 3 and take your foot off the accelerator? It slowed fairly hard in the test drive and I was a little worried someone would run up my rear end! I have just ordered an Excite and that was possibly my one niggling question while I wait
Brake light does come on when regen braking is engaged
Can Problem 8 can be done with resetting your computer via Engineering Mode - thats probably what your tech would do, right? 😜 But prevention is better than cure, so thanks for the tip on not repeatedly plugging in a faulty DC charger :)
No. It’s not that simple. Only factory scan tool can fix it at the current state
Jerry ! Great video. My MG is short range one giving 320 km. When I charged fully, it shows more than 345 km in eco mode. Can i drive 345 km indeed? Till now I have not gone to long trip,but I have to after weeks. Please tell me what are the precaution I should take before I move for long trip.
The 345km is based on your previous driving. If your next trip condition 100% matches your previous driving, then possible. If not, no.
Do you know if its possible to change the language of the instrument pack? Not the infotainment systemet, but screen behind the steering wheel.
Not as far as I know. Both are English only for NZ or AU version.
Can they add cruise control break regenaration with an update in the future ? And I never saw it in a video before that’s why I ask did the ZS EV use a heatpump ?
Not likely for cruise control break regeneration.
No heatpump on ZS EV.
Hi jerry✋🏻 i have a query.. in mg zs ev opening the front door by pressing the silver button on the front door handle always opens the door .. or only when we have the keys in our hand
Only if you have the key :D
Any idea when MG iSmart will be available in Nepal (my country)
No idea. I work in NZ.
Hi jerry i have problrm with my mg zs ev ac cooling.. ac is not cooling properly. Kindly guide
Not sure. Need to get the dealer to check the vehicle.
Please make video about Heating car… even when i increased the temperature to 27/28, Ac still throws cold air instead of hot air
If the vehicle has been driven for a short while, it should be hot air. If not, check with the dealer for problem.
@@JerryPanandCars Thank you, will take it to service center
hii Jerry I am from India i have MG ZS EV ADAS 2023 , I am facing Issue "Vacuum System Fault" is it Common issue ??
I haven’t heard about this sorry.
Brake booster pump?
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 have never tried it actually. Just try it next time.
@@JerryPanandCars I dont have the mg yet, so I am asking. Thanks for the answer! 😁
Can I drive my MG ZS EV on auto hold all the time in a busy heavy traffic in my city (Kathmandu, Nepal)
yes, no problem.
Thanks. Will this affect my battery life or affect the mileage.
