Just got my MG 5 today and tryed to rapid charge it.

Set up a PodPoint account, connected the car and selected confirm in the app.

Kept getting err 63 on the charger.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Is it a fast EVSE or rapid charger?
A PodPoint fast EVSE should start charging as soon as you plug it in as it gives you 15 minutes to confirm the charge.
 
Your thread title is misleading then. Fast Charging is AC whilst Rapid is DC.
I'll change it for you :)
 
Was is Shell who today announced their chargers may now delay the start of charging by up to 15 minutes to avoid overloading the grid? Though I think you can override it.

I don't think that's what's going on here btw...
 
Not that I have the answer but what charger was it? Knowing the charger brand sometimes helps. :)
 
If it is a rapid charger at Tesco these are started by contactless payment, not in the app the 7&11 AC chargers are started by app & paid in app, hope this is of some help
 
I have tried at another charger and it worked, so it looks like I was just unlucky with the first charger I tried.
