I have the same issue. I can charge fine using granny charger at home, but have tried 4 public charging points locally and failed every time. On each occasion I can see the dash displaying a connection to a charge point but nothing actually happens. I’m using Zapmap to identify charge point but...

That’s the thing though, my economy is far better on short runs around town as HEV mostly is EV, apart from random engine on periods. Haven’t used AC since summer and heating setting is a consistent 21C. I get worse MPG on long runs with rpm around 2400 and battery at c.10%. Makes no sense. My...

Like other posters, I get a tick over rpm of 1400, but the thing that confuses me is what governs the introduction of the ICE in HEV mode? I do the same 25 mile journey 3 or 4 times a week with the same road conditions and average speed, but the ICE kicks in at random intervals, sometimes only...

I got this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evjuicion-Charger-Electric-Charging-Holder-Black/dp/B0FHQ3QL7W You’ll obviously need the euro 2 pin plug version, but it’s switchable from 6a up to 13a. I have an EV rated external socket but have never managed to get 13A to the car type 2 socket, it defaults...

There’s 100’s on Amazon, I got this one as I needed extra length cable, works great. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evjuicion-Charger-Electric-Charging-Holder-Black/dp/B0FHQ3QL7W

Had to set my HS PHEV clock to GPS syncing and it adjusted to GMT. Hope it happens automatically now!

Thanks Bam Bam, so lock the car, start charging and walk away? Will give it a go, cheers

No, when I charge at home it’s just plug in and go, no timers

So which one do you think is right? 😉

Good shout, hadn’t considered that. The granny charger hovers around 2.8 to 3 kw, the MG app around 2.4kw. Never sat in the car whilst charging as normally done overnight, but will check next time. Thanks again

Not had my HS PHEV long and normally charge at home using a granny charger, however yesterday I took it to a BP Pulse public charger just to try it out. I use Zapmap for payment and it seemed to connect the charger to the car ok, and showed active charging at 2.6kW however the MG iSMART app and...

Thanks! My external socket is EV rated and is specifically designed for max kw charging. Electrician showed me the max output on a tester and it was up to 3.4kw. Can’t help thinking it’s at the car end of things? Thanks. My electrician upgraded my MCB only 6 months ago and he assured me that my...

For various reasons I won’t go into now the only way I can charge my HS PHEV at home is to use a 3 pin granny charger. This is absolutely fine as a 20 kWh charge can be done overnight. However I’m only getting around 2.4 kW charging whereas I was expecting closer to 3.3 kW. Charger is set to 13...

Daft newbie idiot here! Just taken delivery of my HS Trophy PHEV and in the process of introducing myself to it! One initial issue is that the user manual on the iSMART app seems to be very generic and many of the images of the button controls (particularly on the steering wheel) bear little...
