Why is my 2022 MG HS EV whistling?

The first thing to check here would be how well the door and window rubbers are sealing. If they’re not sealing absolutely 100 per cent, a whistling noise at higher speeds is often the result. This technology has come a long way but, ultimately, it all depends on the rubber sealing the glass and the door against the rest of the car. Inferior quality rubber has been noted in some cases, and other times a single bad batch of rubber has been to blame.

But the first thing to do is open each door and make sure there’s not a small twig or piece of tree stuck in the rubber as this can cause the same problem. At least the latter is easy to remedy.

How to charge MG ZS EV (how long does it take and what does it cost)?

 

There are three different ways to charge your MG ZS EV– two at home and one in public. The first involves a regular 240V wall socket, using a standard charging cable provided by MG. This will take roughly 34 hours at home for the 51kWh battery or 36 hours for the long-range 73kWh battery. Charging costs range between 21 to 36 cents per kWh on average but can vary depending on demand and which state you live in. Alternatively, owners can purchase an AC wall unit which on average costs between $800 to $2000, with additional charges for installation. An 11kW unit will fully charge a MG ZS EV in 7.5 hours or 10.5 hours for the 73kWh battery. If the unit is hooked up to solar power, the cost can be free. MG ZS EV owners can also access public DC fast-charging stations with the maximum output of 100kW. It will take 45 minutes to charge the 51kWh battery at this rate and 36 minutes on the 72kWh unit. Once again, charges depending on demand and where you’re charging, but as a general rule you should never pay more than $40 per charge.

Why is my 2019 MG GS' check-engine light often on despite being regularly serviced?

You could be looking at a couple of problems here. Either there’s a recurring problem with the car that is causing the check-engine light to illuminate, or the problem was fixed at one of the four previous service appointments, but the service team has consistently failed to zero (reset) the warning light.

In most cases, these check-engine lights are cancelled via the on-board scanning process which, coincidentally, would also tell you if there’s a constant problem forcing the check-engine warning to light up. Either way, it’s back to the workshop for an electronic vehicle scan to rule out the latter and/or reset the former.
