Living with an older EV -100,000 mile Renault Zoe, how is it holding up?

It would be best if you did a BMS update at the dealer. The SOH can be going far above 90% by that. Renault did make mistakes with BMS software, the latest BMS update will blow your mind. Check online, it is a known thing with the ZOE's.

Hi, loving your channel. And is the best for mg4 user info. I have a 2024 mg4 and bought a v2l plug as was one of the main reasons i got it. But it recognises it as a charger not discharger, NOt sure if its this plug only? Made contact wit dealer but they have been a bit useless. I live near you and wondered if there was any chance of visiting and plugging your in to see if it s a car fault?? I would be v grateful. Matthew

No it's red, but the camera must have been on some weird setting... MG is fine, I keep it for the longer journeys! About to do another 280 mile Cardiff run. XPower sounds like so much fun!

Thanks Burl, and how's your Mg4 doing, I have had mine 18 months now (same colour trophy) as yours. Fantastic drive, just lka let's it down. Idk if any new software updates, mine is on r46 atm.👌

[@BurlSolomons]

MG4 is fine, keeping the miles off it by only using it for longer journeys. I'm on r46 after first service in Dec 23. Yes LKA is a pain, apparently newest software will allow you to disable with a 2 step pull down and click.

[@r33gts]

Thanks for replying, good to know that they are still listening to us, hopefully they will get it right one day... also add one pedal driving too🏁👌.

@@r33gts My MG4 Nov 2023 has easy access to disable LKA but I find LKA is fine and also single pedal driving. My friend's MG X Power is a 2024 and has older software though. MG Dealers... ugh. Love my MG4 though. Also looking at a Zoe as a second car. Thanks Burl!

[@r33gts]

​@@PJWeyWhat software is yours, and I wonder if they will apply it to mk1 models anytime soon. 🤔

[@jesusislord-ht1nj]

Do you still have the narrowboat?

[@BurlSolomons]

Yes I do, but I am not using it as much since Covid. I did spend a few days on it a couple of weeks ago though.

Air con recharge is £180 to £200. It should not leak for 3 years. Batteries on Zoe cars normally charged at home but batteries degrade annually so you are wrong on that fact. Lithium batteries can fail suddenly so I hope the car was very cheap. It might be 15% now but 20% tomorrow.
