I know there are members who have purchased the optional MG HS "Space Saver" wheel & tyre kit for there ZS EV's.
We would both feel reassured by the fact that we have a spare wheel in the boot, for times of an emergency.
Our previous plugin hybrid could not offer the facility of a carrying a spare wheel, unless we sacrificed about 60% of our boot space just so we could carry a spare around.
We where only really fortunate & lucky that in the four years of ownership, we never received a puncture.
The lack of a spare wheel always played heavy on the back of my mind.
Therefore, if the MG ZS EV has the ability to carry a spare, then why would you not have one I guess ????.
I was not aware until last week, that most recovery services will only attend a puncture on your car, IF you have a useable and legal spare wheel to inter change with !.
So, after that bit of "Rambling" - Is somebody please willing to answer few questions regarding this subject, I would be very grateful for your time in responding.
The current standard factory supplied foam layout under the boot floor, appears to consists of compartments cut out for the inflation pump, tyre repair fluid and a space in the foam for the MG supplied "Granny" unit and the optional Type 2 public charging cable.
This all fits nice and neatly, thank you very much MG.
BUT :-
1) When you purchase the "Space Saver" kit at around £210 - Does it come in the same type of pre-cut foam inlay to make the change over quick and easy between the two kits ?.
2) Is there a cut out for the "Granny" to be stored ?. ( I guess the answer to this question is likely to be NO because the kit being used for the ZS EV was taken from the old HS fossil model I believe ? )
3) If the answer is indeed NO to question 2, then where do store your "Granny" cable and your Type 2 cable then ?.
4) To store the Space Saver, metal scissor jack & handle, wheel brace and your other "Bits and Bob's" are you then forced into raising the height of the boot floor cover to accommodate all of the extra bits and pieces ?.
I REALLY REALLY want the facility to carry a spare wheel, but I am more than a little concerned that under the boot cover could end up looking like a bit of a "Rat's Nest or Dog's Diner" of a mess to gain this feature !.
I understand that almost everything can be a compromise, so that is why I am reaching out to find what others members have found with regards to this problem.
Thank you in advance of your comments regarding my dilemma.
