Do those with technical knowledge know if the ePower setup has the same additional weight issues that affect PHEV’s, or is it a much lighter system?
I’m not sure which issues you refer to, but the e-Power is roughly 210kg heavier than the DIG-T 158 (1459kg to 1670kg). Which is in line with any other PHEV in terms of weight gain, except you only get 15-20%ish of the battery size? It’s not even a PHEV in the first place, what am i missing?
From what i’ve read, i don’t necessarily understand the hype, with most people averaging (including Auto Express etc) around 44mpg. Am i looking at the wrong car?
blurb
The MG ZS EV is carwow best family EV of the year, the MG4 drivingelectric car of the year. I don’t know anything about the HS, but at least these two are without a doubt good cars. Hence their popularity (ZS EV 5th most sold EV in the UK, and they’re clearly not falling apart left right and centre or killing their owners at breath taking speeds). Basing an opinion on “one or two” anecdotes, while literally thousands of people drive their car happily.. you do you. PS: the Golf 8 and ID3 have trouble with their infotainment systems too. That’s quite often what happens if you change from externally bought in software (MIB2) to in-house software (MIB3).
Just to be clear I didn’t write this bit…I actually said the same as you regarding the powerhouse that is China.
Bit confused – but i didn’t mean any personal harm either way, wasn’t directed at whoever i quoted.
