Check your incoming electric supply, any more than 231 V incoming will shut down your charger, I had this problem when I first got my car, even 240 V incoming is too much as chargers only allow for a 10% differential, I had to get Scottish power to lower it at their sub station, they purposely...

Is it heavy duty cable, ordinary extension can’t carry the load

I had problems charging mine when I first got it, turned out voltage input to my house was too high, had to call out Scottish power too lower input at sub station,( can’t have more than 231 volts coming in to meter, second one could possibly be your extension cable from house, need heavy duty...

Could possibly be your extension lead cable, need heavy duty cable and all of it unwound ( none left wrapped around the reel )

I have an MG4 trophy and have never had any audible warning for speed limit, just speed sign flashing, my car is 2 years old

As it is illegal to reverse out of your driveway in UK this function is totally irrelevant

If everyone is using their chargers at the same time, then the rate of charge will be reduced. It will all depend on the time you set your car for charging. If there are a large number of cars charging from your particular sub station at night then this will reduce your charge

Do you have dynamic charging switched off in car, need it switched on to set charging schedule

Always remember, the more you switch on, the more power you use, eg infotainment system, lights, heater etc, all use power & so decrease your range

Check power input to your home, if above 253V the charger will not work, older properties often have old cables & voltage is increased to compensate for this. If this is the case your network supplier will turn it down for you. I had this problem last year when I took delivery of my mg4.
