The MG stops charging when the doors are unlocked? What's the drill?

We have had a Leaf for the last four years and when rapid charging I sit in the car and do a crossword for 30 minutes. The MG (I think) stops charging if the doors are unlocked. The Leaf can not be locked if the keys are inside. .
There is a button inside the car to lock the doors. At least there was on my Leaf 24 & 40 ones.
 
I can confirm all that Mike says....including the granny charger....which I sometimes use when the car is dripping wet and I don't want to bring all that dampness into my garage.. ..(where my regular charger is fitted)
 
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I've just had my 2020 ZS EV delivered today and it's great! I plugged it in to my wallbox but it wouldn't charge when unlocked - once locked it started up fine. Does this mean that the BMS update hasn't been done? Is that an issue as I am able to return the car over the next few days if needed. TIA 😊

^ that means you got the car from a dealer that didn't do their job correctly - or hopefully they forgot. Take it back and ask for the latest software.

Oh that is frustrating as the car has been at a garage (bought from cinch so they sent it in) for a software update for the last week so the delivery had to be delayed by a week. How strange that it wasn't done there

It's not the BMS update, it's an update to to the EVCC that is needed.
 
Mine's the same, but I'm ok with locking it while charging as I don't sit with it on the 7kW chargers I use.

Yep Mines the same too & it's just recently been in for it's first service & no software updates were applied, I'm not fused as it's running great.
