The cars BMS will talk to the charger and will only pull the power that is safe for the battery IE on a sunny day battery temp is good and you are @ 20% state of charge the car will pull any thing up to 50 kw until it’s near 80% state of charge then start drop the KW it pulls. Last week my car...

Have done a reset of acclimated trip? And is it reading 100% of charge and what is the range

It will depend on what you start at % wise if you start @ 20% you find the charge will deliver any thing from 40kw to 50kw and on this you will charge 80% in about 45 minutes. I did a charge at Gridserve the other day 40% to 87% in 37 minutes running @ 39kw to 41kw in put.

Thank you I can confirm from that it’s the older software and hardware, from memory they did a small face lift took the sunroof away to keep the price down and changed the grille and small change to the window information screen but did not charge the system to what’s fitted to all MG have now...

Which main information screen do you have below left or right.

It’s not the one I was thinking of, but the car is older than the registration date probably made late 22 or early 23 before the faced lift which they changed to the hardware and software which is now installed in all MG. I had a 21 plate but was built in late 20 so know this car inside out.

Do you only have 3 tiles on your information screen ?

The QR code will be in the information screen look on YouTube on how to bind MG app to car.

As the app is just reading the BMS what does the information screen showing.

You only get one with the car, but you may get one cut at a locksmith or you could get one from MG. If you have the updated information screen on the app can you unlock the car and use the smart key to start the car, I done this a number of time to move the car around on the drive.

Thanks I know that, but over the years been on here there have been many people caught out by 12V batteries failing through not monitoring the voltage drop, the car will do the day to day but has no way to tell you the battery is failing and then the day you need the car it failed.

Hi all Winter is coming and just like ICE the 12V battery needs to be monitored and a lot of people over look this. Up until last month I used my car every day and did 18 miles each week day, now I have retired the car is not used every day and also a lot of short journeys so the 12V battery may...
