Thanks, yes it has app which can control the charger. Obviously Gen 1 doesn’t link with MG app and doesn’t have the same level of managing/monitoring charge ( such as setting 80% cut off). Will get back to Octopus to pursue
Slightly confused- gen 1 2020 ZS. Last time looked on Octopus app- MG was supported, but charger isn’t , Free2Charge Wallbox. Does this mean I could use EV tariff ?
Two tips that might help - small dehumidiers in cabin to stop misting up ( taken from another post ) . Use heated seats rather than heater to preserve battery range ( from EV charging guide)
Great reply, I think I will carry on as per:- monthly granny charge and equalisation, coupled with top-ups as and when required ( instavolt app shows charging profile with 'drop-off' at approx 80% - that's my cue to stop charging ). hopefully home charging unit being installed soon - FREE2MOVE...
I agree, thread discussion threw me with % displayed comments. Given the point about previous trips affecting charging capacity, do you think it's good practice to zero the trip details prior to a "granny equalisation" charge to ensure battery gets charged to right level ?
Latest update. home charger waiting to be fitted (any day now)-apparently the supplier, not the utility company, has to give you 'permission' to get it installed, plus your electrics need to be up to scratch
Thanks, it’s secondhand . I’ll. check with dealer
Just to add, the car did charge upto 196 miles. Display on left all bars, display on left round about 8 bars… that said it hadn’t gone through balancing.
Display on right all bars
MG ZS EV 2020 - Did 2nd granny charge at home. Charger light lit, breather badge pulsed. But no charging info on display in car. All other methods of charging display charging info. Is this correct ?
Currently with eon. Just got tethered home charger from dealer. Looking to purchase a type 2 to type 2 cable to carry round in the car. Noticed that there are different types available. Which is the best to use at for example ‘free’ supermarket chargers that are 7kW
