Hi all
I’m probably being stupid but I’m trying to use a smart charger with our MG ZS 70 plate and I can’t work out how to charge the car without locking the car first, is there a way?
TIA
It will depend on what software version you are running on.
Unless it has the necessary update, it will only charge with the doors LOCKED.
If you open the doors with the fob, when the car is charging, it will interrupt the charge until you re-lock the car.
You will be able to open the hatchback, while the car is still charging IF you have the key in your pocket, and then lift up the MG badge to gain entry.
But don't use the fob, or it will stop the charge.
It should let you charge with the doors open if you are rapid charging.
If you really want the facility to charge from your wall box or Granny unit while the car is unlocked / doors open, then you will have to speak to your dealer and request a software update.
I am assuming you are running on the original OEM factory BMS software ?.
The subject of the different versions of the BMS updates, have been covered extensively on this site.
