Will arc Only when the car connector is removed whilst charging/discharging. It would be prudent to stop the charging first. Yes I would have thought the connector lock was a simple solenoid latch, I had one replaced on my zappi charger and it was very simple and a small box.

Apparently they have to drop the battery!

Yeah I had this problem suddenly appear on my MG4 SE. Got it fixed under warranty but it's a big job surprisingly..

Who has told you that?

For me the orange bar appears randomly and very infrequently about once every 2 or 3 months. Regardless of SOC or weather. Reverts to green next time screen switched on. Also very, very infrequently the info screen goes blank.

On the app, ability to change the a.c. charging power whilst charging, as on the car screen.

I cant see why the Cyberster would use a particular granny lead.. they should all be 13A plug protected. I do have an MG one which came with my MG4 but they are basically all the same. I bought a Ford one off ebay for my wifes Renault Zoe years ago and thats been fine, in fact it has a longer...

I bought a 3 pin socket adapter lead from tough leads for plugging into my MG4 for emergency loads, a lot less than the MG version. I was very impressed, it is chunky, tough and well made. I also would always use this company rather than risking a foreign one.

That is dicy.. you will get to know over time what the car will do especially if you know the route but also allow for the weather, wind, rain and temperature.. I've been caught out almost with a strong tail wind on the outward leg and the same headwind returning, the difference is remarkable.

PTC=?

Sounds to me like your battery sees a load and continues charging.. hence the lower power. You can stop this in the zapping settings somewhere. I use intelligent go so a bit out of touch with drilling down in the zappi. Have you tried using the cars scheduling? That may work..

165 miles is based on your last journey.. not your next one!

Have you tried another charger at all?

The ability to change the charging power on the app, instead of messing around inside the car.. even then it often reverts to full power ie 7kW if for any reason the charging is paused eg in octopus Intelligent go mode. This would enable me to elongate the charging period and enjoy cheap...
