Dear MG5 EV users, I am using my car as a private hire taxi in London for the past three years, during which it has accumulated 130,000 miles (hence wo warranty anymore). However, over the last five months, I have exclusively relied on rapid (CCS) chargers due to a malfunction in my onboard charger unit (AC-DC inverter). Consequently, neither my home charger nor any other type 2 chargers are functional for me.
I have gone to MG service, who quoted me nearly £3,000 to replace the onboard charger. Considering this expense excessive, I opted to purchase a second-hand unit from eBay. Then I have found a garage to install the replacement, which was done successfully. However, my charging dilemma persists, as the second-hand inverter (onboard charger) I bought was originally coded to a different vehicle and requires re-coding (or at least calibration) to function with mine.
Any suggestions?
