Just got back from a trip of about 220 miles.

Obviously with long range didn't need to charge (good job) but as the hotel had two Pod Point charge points I thought I would give it a bit of a top up just in case of any issues on the way back.

Had £5 credit on my Pod Point account so, plugged in, chose the connector I was plugged into in the app, confirmed the charge.

Hey presto, started charging.

Checked the MG app 15 minutes or so later, charging had stopped.

Went to the car, started the whole process again, same thing, charge stopped after 10-15 minutes.

Didn't actually need to charge so just put my cable back in the car and moves out of the charging bay.

Can you gurus tell me what I did wrong for future reference.

Cheers.

15 minutes ties up with the disconnect time if you don't confirm the charge.
 
Doesn't sound like you did anything wrong so there may have been an issue with that particular charge point. It's difficult to be sure after the event.
 
I've had abit of bother with podpoint chargers not communicating with the car. I just kept confirming the charge on the app and it finally took.

Its only happened twice on the 7kw but never on the CCS.
