    Lowest Declared Voltage Tolerance and Charging

    No. 🦖☹️ It's with SSEN again. I had a phone call saying they were making changes at the substation but it's not made any difference at this end. Yet.🤞 I've logged more "events" in January than the whole of last year! Including 2 power cuts (luckily was only charging during one). Will post if it...

    Lowest Declared Voltage Tolerance and Charging

    Thanks for such a detailed reply. The SSEN Engineer did say they could turn the supply up, but they would need to assess what to first and consider the impact on others. The alternative is to switch our house to a difference phase (?). The Pod-point cut out at about 207V. Did not come back...

    Lowest Declared Voltage Tolerance and Charging

    I recently learned that electricity network operators are legally required to maintain the voltage within a specific range. This range is defined as +10% and -6% of the 230V nominal voltage which results in an allowed voltage range of 216.2V to 253.0V. To take advantage of the E.ON Next Drive...

    Fast charging points between Devon and Gatwick

    There's also Gridserve at Solstice Park (as above). Used it & happy to recommend.

    Most useful MG4 accessory?

    My most useful accessory is the screen protector for the infotainment screen, purchased after seeing recommended on here. No more finger prints on the screen to distort the view or be cleaned off.

    Standout items from Everything Electric Farnborough day one.

    I noticed that both the Leaf and the Micra on display were left hand drive. I know the latter is made in France but the former is made in Sunderland!

    Everything Electric Farnborough

    Was there this morning. Family stuff this pm. Not at all packed compared to when I last went in 2022. Not as many exhibitors either. Saw what I wanted to see and left. Will book test drives later.

    MG4 Security alarm is deactivated. You can now drive the vehicle (***846) safely

    I tightened that battery terminals, and just after my last post, while waiting for Mrs M in a car park I powered down via the Infotainment screen. Just charged for the first time since then. No re-occurrence of the problem. So as Ian says, above, it's a computer - just turn it off and turn it...

    Best MG Dealer near me

    I'm between Basingstoke & Reading. Have used WMLG for last two services. Perfectly good. Car was purchased from Waylands Newbury (prior to WLMG opening) and they were not good with sale or charging issue when new.

    MG4 Security alarm is deactivated. You can now drive the vehicle (***846) safely

    Thanks, Ian. Done that. Hopefully it will work next time I charge. I'd only been looking at the app for a solution. Probably too short-sighted.

    MG4 Security alarm is deactivated. You can now drive the vehicle (***846) safely

    I have had the same issue since the app upgraded itself to V3.0.0. Not had previously. I did email [email protected] but only received a standard response asking for details that I had already provided (although not necessarily in the same order!). No reply since I answered...

    MG4 Manual / video tutorial

    A British alternative is Burl Solomons: I found it useful when starting out.

    OVO Charge Anytime and MG Cars - Ohme Home Pro charger

    My Eon Next rates are LOWER than the Ovo equivalent. BUT standing charge is higher. However estimate I saved £55 in first month alone. I had all the usage stats to make a forecast in my case. For more info see: Best EV Electricity Tariffs - Compare Electric Car Energy Tariffs
