    A wireless carplay adaptor that actually seems to work reliably?!

    I finally got fed up with me and the missus trying to use wired, she on lighting and I have usb-c, mostly hers works but mine is hit and miss, probably the better way around. I think I am going to gamble on the Lyssiefeel Wireless Carplay after reading the info here, I'm assuming if only one of...

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    Back on topic - after switching over to the cable supplied with the MG, everything has worked perfectly so far, which now makes me think maybe I don't need to have the delay so high at 240s, although on the positive I've noticed quite a lot that when solar excess dips below the 1.4kW minimum the...

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    If you see my pic the suspend is supposed to be used whilst trying to debug an issue not as a switch for you to turn on and off as you desire. The thing is I know most likely they will not boot you off the tariff but it does provide them a reason if they so wished sometime in the future. I...

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    I hear a rumour they do not like you doing that too often, it almost suppose to be a debug testing mode, may be wrong. So on Friday extending that timeout helped and charging on surplus solar worked well. Yesterday and today after returning from a drive and plugging in while airplanes was...

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    Because I'm on the Octopis Intelli Go tariff it will not allow me to use eco setting, is part of the rules of being on the tariff, if I switch to eco, octopus very quickly reverts it back to eco+

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    Not applicable to me the government FIT scheme I am on pays for everything generated used or not and at a higher rate than 15p, but only solar generation counts, I don't believe I can then also join the outgoing scheme. Now this interests me, currently I always set the charge to be ready by...

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    I use the 7.5p tariff, over the winter I also use that to charge the batteries and then use that thru the day, in the summer or now I only top up the battery for a short period like an hour or so. to get onto that tariff you have to have a compatible car or charger, and in your case the car is...

    Your batteries maybe but it the inverter’s capability which controls the max in and out not the battery if that makes sense.

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    @Rolfe - I don’t know your giv energy model but it sounds like your model is 3.5/6kw max charge or discharge rate, I believe there very latest model is 5kw capable. If you want to charge in 1 continuous block at a low minimum rather than granny but get the excess solar then use eco mode (not...

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    @STG - have a similiar'ish setup to you, so let my batteries charge first, then either the Eddi for hot water or the Zappi for car -- I don't use the export scheme as I'm a back in the day FIT customer so I get paid for everything I generate for quite some years to come. So in the eco+ settings...

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    I'll have to wait for another good production day to test out, but I def will, I hate exporting when my car could be charging

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    @Rolfe - be interesting to see how it works for you. @dawson2099 - checked on the app and there is no schedule set on car or zappi and also have the car charge set to 100% so its not limited by that. Are there any particular settings on your zappi? Sadly its very very cloudy and moody today...

    I hate this car please reassure me

    Must admit so far I am loving it and the huge extra range over the leaf is sooo nice - I got the long range.

    MG4 + Zappi Charger + Solar = a problem

    Hiya Got my MG4 on Monday and really enjoying so far, few pain points but learning. Current biggest concern is the charging, I had a leaf with the exact same setup and that worked as it should, but now with the MG4 in the picture having a problem. Basically my Zappi charger is set to Eco++...
