Hi! Yes sorry, I meant DC charging kept me going. AC charging never was an issue for as long as I have had the car, but it stopped working gradually over a few months. At first it was one failed charge a month, but that increased rapidly over time until it completely stopped working. I tried...

Hi! I had a similar problem - I could not AC charge no matter what charger I tried (both 7kW and granny charger). At least I could do AC charging, which kept me going for a bit. In the end the problem was rectified by my local dealership by upgrading the charger firmware. Cheers, Jan

Hi Kevin, Thank you for the comment, it adds a lot of clarity. Yes I have read about the new legislation changes, but have not fully considered the possible ramifications. I don't see how Tesla can stay compliant without closing all their non V4 sites, and I certainly don't see them throwing...

Hi All, I have the PFL SR version, and I am mulling over the idea of getting the EVCC + SC052 upgrades done. I find myself going up and down the M1 and M40 between London and Birmingham quite frequently, and being able to Supercharge will save me quite a bit. However, this by itself might not...

Hello Bruce, Sorry for the massive delay in replying, life intervened and my OVMS unit was left on the bench until now. The only non-standard thing I did was to install the above-mentioned firmware build. After that I selected what seemed to be the correct vehicle, and I get all the SoC data...

Hi Coulomb, Yes, you are indeed correct. Here is my current dash SoC: And here is what Car Scanner displays for the same session: Even here there are two different state of charge values being displayed. Interesting, but rather confusing for a noob like me. My OVMS unit is on the bench at...

Hello! I am attempting to get the most current information for 2024 together in this thread, so please forgive me for posting yet another "OVMS And MG5" thread. Firstly, I have an OVMS unit that I have installed into my wife's Nissan Leaf '14 (AZE0) model, and we are immensely pleased with it...

Thank you, will note this.

Hello All, I've very recently bought a second-hand 52kWh MG5 model, and I'm looking forward to pile on the miles! With a view of doing some serious travelling, I've been trawling through all the threads to do with charging at Tesla Superchargers, and unfortunately the information on the...

I just bought a pre-loved 52kWh MG5 2021 model, waiting for the day I can go and pick it up later this week. Reading through this forum gives me fabulous "confirmation bias"! ?We are getting rid of our last fossil-fueled car, and I'm passing my Nissan Leaf to my wife. I am stoked that we won't...
