In this scenario, we would recommend purchasing a type 2 to 3-pin MG ZS charging cable. This MG ZS cable comes with an EV connector on one side and a standard socket on the other. Instead, it is recommended to use a dedicated EV charging station or EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) to charge your MG ZS.
