Just to confirm the above comment, you definitely can charge at ~7kW / 32A with a 22kW / 32A charger. Just avoid 11kW / 16A chargers (such as the one MG sells) - this will limit you to 3.6kW on a single phase. TBH though, most cars are limited to 1 phase / 32A charging lately, so I'm not even...

Will be interesting to see how well this works in the real world. Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to convince them to install this update considering it was a promised feature from day 1.

No idea where/how that is/was set. I never chose it and can't see where to change it - definitely an Essence here.

I can confirm that this test just reinforces @wattmatters comment in relation to there being many pieces of software all with different versions so no clear way to know if you are updated or not. We got the R11 update, with the bug fixes around timezones and some shortcuts for LKA etc. Carplay...

If it's done this from the beginning then get the dealer to check it out. When my car was delivered the heater never worked, it could sit on full power at "HI" and still blow cold. Required a replacement heater core. If your car has a heat pump then it would be a different solution though.

This is where it would be worth paying the $10 membership fee for any months you have some big trips planned. It would start saving you money after ~60kWh. I.e. part way through your second charge stop.

Tamworth and Tenterfield are both Tesla sites though. In the 77 so you wouldn't be depending on any NRMA chargers. Although looking at Plugshare, Tamworth was 100% down last for maybe 4 days - 10th-14th, no successful checkins and plenty of failure reports. Very unusual for them to be down for...

Yass and Wagga are both V3. Dubbo is V2. It's the V3 chargers that non-Tesla cars tend to be having trouble with, maybe your Ioniq is affected too? But the MG4 is fine at both types. Brisbane to Dubbo you could go Tenterfield and Tamworth and then Dubbo, all right on ~300km apart? Obviously...

My thoughts too. This isn't the first customer they've done this to. For the amount they charge for the chargehub they should be able to upgrade it to 22kW.

Yes, works fine. Charges at full speed if the battery is warm enough. Seems only some BYD and Hyundai 800v cars are the ones having trouble with the newer Tesla chargers. As for getting 300km from the 77 at highway speed, easy. We can even get that in the 64 on the first stint (i.e. from 100%)...

Isn't it because "MG Australia" is really "SAIC MOTOR AUSTRALIA PTY LTD" so we aren't dealing with a "middle man" but with the factory slightly more directly.

Yeah the auto update thing is disabled for our cars. You can see the media version (the RXX number people talk about above) in the normal details screen - the R numbers are not sequential outside of the same spec vehicle in the same country. Essence and Excite are on different numbering, and I...

We have (some of) the updates, otherwise coff33 car wouldn't be behaving as described. Our main problem is the smaller number of deliveries so far meaning we haven't really got any notes on potential changes that have been made or issues able to be fixed. Because it seems like a global...

Your new mg4 will only charge on 1 phase.

Without knowing where you are navigating to or from it’s hard to say. Going in the opposite direction initially could be correct? Your other issue didn’t really make sense either. The car has a SIM card, it might not be connected. Have you tried binding when parked out in an area with good...
