    Charging from Solar PV panels: iSmart software repeatedly resets Charging Settings and stops charging prematurely

    And just to muddy the water some more - when we have been trying to tap into daytime surplus PV power we have been turning off the scheduling in the car. We have not experienced the scheduling activating itself, as reported by Daggly. BTW... we have so far resisted adding a battery to our PV...

    Charging from Solar PV panels: iSmart software repeatedly resets Charging Settings and stops charging prematurely

    Thank you, that's very helpful. Great idea to try a different brand of car on our charger. I will try and arrange that (and will post the outcome). I might also ask the Zappi help desk if they have any advice / comments.

    I get the same problem with the Zappi switching to 'Charge Completed' on a day when the sun keeps going in, instead of 'Waiting for surplus'. BUT note that I am NOT using the iSmart App at all (that's another story - I couldn't get it to bind and nor could my Dealer - so I just gave up). It's...

    Has anyone defined all the TLA's (three letter acronyms) that MG use? For someone like me who is new to the car (and indeed to any car with so many bells and whistles) it all a bit baffling - and very annoying. I would love to have a list that I can refer to whether I'm reading posts on this...
