Could I have my V6 converted to electric? Should I? Seriously? :xmas-smiley-003:

There is a polish 75 somewhere that has been converted Phil!!!

Thanks Andy I did not know about the polish 75 conversio. Jessica saw the story today and asked if I could have the V6 converted to electric.

I worked on a ZS EV last week. Interesting car.
Less than premium build quality though. Silly things like seam welds not uniform and sharp edged metalwork.

Found it,,,,,,,,,

Thats remarkable -wonder what performance it gives?

Is that wax polish or silicone? :icon_lol:

You just need to find a scrapper Tesla.

And about 1000 hours to do the conversion!

I have not looked, but it’s a matter of time before someone entrepreneurial sees an opportunity to offer the conversion at a competitive price.

Wonder how it’d perform against the supercharger :icon_lol:

Good morning Les, how is the supercharger for economy around town and on a long run? Do people drive a supercharger for its fuel economy and environmental impact? :smiley: :smiley:

Morning Phil, They now do an off the shelf plug & play EV "Crate motor" these days in the shape of a V8.

A dealer I follow online who sells/buys in BEV's says he's getting lots of Nissan Leaf's traded in for the MG ZS EV.

In my ideal world the govt sets up a scheme with mowog mk2 churning out electric motors, batteries & control systems and running a scheme whereby you take your car in and get it converted at a bargain price.

Didnt see on any of the manifestos though so I guess I'll just keep saving.

Just been doing some more reading today on this MG ZS EV, A bigger battery capacity one is on the horizon. MG Motors announced plans to develop an improved battery for their upcoming electric SUV ZS EV in India, which will feature a 73 kWh capacity and theoretical range of 500 km. The manufacturer added that it will weigh the same as the current 44.6 kWh version.


Another thing I've not been able to find out is why does MG not have the "Companion mobile phone app" available for the UK market? It's already available in Thailand. https://www.electrive.com/2019/12/09...-suv-in-india/


The MG ZS PHEV will be coming out in 2020 too https://insideevs.com/news/386354/mg...v-suv-uk-2020/
