Here’s the manual from the official MG UK website: MG4 owner manual

They must be reading this forum, because I got a message this morning saying that they’re setting up my, “export Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN).” Hopefully, not too long to wait now. Can’t wait for that big fat cheque in the post. 🤣

Sounds easy with Octopus. If only it were that simple with British Gas. It’s been three weeks since I applied and I’m still not up and running on their SEG scheme.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of charging your car with your own solar power. 👍

You should get some decent solar production from that aspect. Sounds like a fun trip!

Unfortunately, I don’t have a newsletter Rolfe, but I can recommend some YouTube channels: Daniel Coe EV Puzzle Gary Does Solar Tim & Kat’s Green Walk DanEVSolar I think it helps that I’m in the north east of Fife, not far from Dundee which apparently is the sunniest place in Scotland...

That sounds similar to my setup, Rolfe. I have a 6.37kW solar array split into two strings hooked up to a GivEnergy 3.6kW inverter and 9.5kWh storage battery. Charging the car is done through a Zappi, which when it’s sunny I put into eco+ mode. It typically charges around 3kW, using solar or a...

Yeah, the technician said the brake pads on my car were hardly worn, due to regen braking.

ChargePlace Scotland has a fair number of untethered slower AC chargers, so I’ve used my Type 2 cable quite a bit. I wish I could fit it below the boot, but there’s not a lot of space in the SE LR unfortunately.

I’ve never installed the app and have gotten along just fine, but I can see how it can be convenient in the example Grriff gave. I set the charge limit on the infotainment screen and as I have a Zappi, I use its app to see when it’s finished charging.

Hopefully, you’ll be back up and running shortly Steve. I would make your garage aware of possible software updates being needed following the fitting of the new CCU which in many cases ignores the 80% charging limit when set.

I suppose with the SR, you’d have to stop it manually if you were wishing to have a lower percentage of charge. While I had the software issue, I just calculated how long it would take the car to charge to 80% and then stopped it manually.

It’s a long range.

The car was in for nearly five hours and as well as the service, it got seven software updates for an issue with charging not being able to be limited to 80%. All working now.

Good idea. Also, if you navigate to your account, then preferences you can change your profile picture to upload a thumbnail of your car. You can also include a “signature” which will appear under any post you make.
