We've had no end of trouble with our Rolec Wallpod (and MG ZS EV Long Range) since buying it two years ago. After several 'repairs', Rolec are now suggesting that it's because the car has a DC leak.

I'll give this a thumbs up. We got the same one to take our two golden retrievers and it's great. All I would say is add a blanket underneath if the dogs are wet otherwise it soaks through!

You're probably right, but ours doesn't seem smart enough to do the smart stuff properly ;) In answer to your question though, the app we use (ev.energy) has the option to turn off smart charging which is what we've had to do just so we can sure make it charges. We don't have a energy plan...

From my experience, Type 2 charging (regardless of the kw it says on the charger) will only do approx 7kw for the MG (for the reasons above). CCS will always be faster, but if you have your level set to 100% it slows down to 7kw for the last 10% apparently to protect the battery. Others have...

We've got a Rolec Wallpod charger (installed last year when we got our MG EV ZS Long range) and have no end of problems. Initially was fine, then stopped charging completely. After an on the road charging incident, the AA cleared all errors from our car and the Rolec started working again, but...

Mine changed over to kilometres, changing it back to imperial in the settings seems to have fixed that.

So, an update on my charging woes. We tried to use a public charger over the weekend (first time since getting the car) and had no success, in fact ended up with the dreaded system failure message and couldn't use the car. AA came out and plugged in their computer and cleared the fault code...

@riizzle Did you find a suitable scanner? We had the same problem on Saturday at a public charger, AA came and cleared the error. Don't want to be caught out again!

Nah, same issue. Would have loved it if that’s what the issue was.

Yes. Around the time this started happening 🤦‍♂️ I’ve unplugged them and trying a charge now. Will report back.

It’s a “smart” unit. Granny charging is fine.

Brand new in March, it's the ZS EV long range.

I’ve had my MG ZS EV since March and never had a problem with charging using my Rolec Wallpod. However over the last couple of weeks I’m having repeated issues with the charging stopping after only a few percent. I’m having to open the app every 10 minutes to kick off the charge again only for...

At least it's not just me then! The problem with the sat nav is that you can't change the destination mid journey, even the passenger can't interact as the keyboard is rightly not available when driving.

Not a phone problem, unless all four phones I tested had the same issue! The garage had to use an adaptor as well for their iPhone lightening cable.
