Bit of a bump, but anyhoos - over 10k miles in the ZS EV with no significant issues - couple of glitches that corrected on turning off and on again.
You'll probably have seen that Tesla and MG are the only manufacturers to have seen a sales increase in the past year, and 1/3 of MG's sales have been ZS EV.
Can buy a white base model (Excite...) for £19,995 now until the end of the year.
ZS is a somewhat bland but inoffensive looking car.
The MG5 EV estate is also available with deals from £20,495 new - larger battery than mine (52 vs 44 kWh, 214miles vs 163miles range WLTP), nippy enough (0-60 in 7.3s) - styling is pretty generic and meh: a bit like the Octavia when it first came out I s'pose.
Rumour has it a ~60kWh pack is due for the MG 5, and possibly the ZS next year (~250/230 mile range).
20 grand for a new family sized electric car with decent range capability (and ~45 minutes for an 80% refill) - 2035 seems unduly pessimistic considering 4 years ago 20 grand would get you into a 100 mile Nissan LEAF (with heavy discounts)
