As I understand it the iSmart app is not covered under MG warranty either, which is weird. It’s considered 3rd party by MG.

At around 8k kw/ 5k miles i would not expect much degradation even with rapid use. Once a week rapid is not really a lot and I think would have minimal effect. My experience of extensively (nearly every day - sometimes twice a day for business travel) using rapid charging is it does affect...

There’s a thread running on podpoint timed charging for those with podpoint chargers. They’ve at last developed timed charging for their app. I’m not sure how it manages the handshake with the car, but my experience is that it doesn’t appear to draw any current until it starts to charge - so I...

My apologies if I’m going off topic or covering well known territory by you, but do we know specifically what the faulty bms software was designed to solve? It occurred to me that there must have been an issue with those cars with the pre-faulty software in order to warrant an update? What this...

I’ve downloaded the app. Can you recommend obd2 connector - bluetooth?

Possibly - I would love to be able to pull data via obd and get some ecu versions - when a reliable ios app is available. Did you see that dealers are told to equalise poorly balanced batteries by leaving car in ready state once fully charged? Not seen this before. I had a recent issue when I...

It’s not always straightforward (that’s the legacy of designing with multiple dependant updates across icu’s) - as you quite rightly say. I show 455v fully charged, can timed-charge but not AC charge with doors unlocked 🤪

There is a lot of sense in your comments - as always. As someone who loves technology, I do like to see developers pioneering new initiatives though. To be an early adopter of this type of initiative you need to be really into not only the benefits but to support the further development too...

It’s probably age related too...

What a shame. Disgraceful

It can be - but not always. You know more than the dealer now.

That’s interesting. I wonder why? It’s usually either the bad software (in which case you shouldn’t continue trying), a history of rapid charging and not much ac or equalisation. In your case it’s neither. Based on your charging stats it would have taken you about 4hrs to put 27kw in your car...

That’s interesting. I haven’t recapped back through the thread so this may have been asked. You’re on the 455v bms version - have you had issues?

Great stats. How old is your car and what sort of charging history does it have?

There’s a top paid job looming for you in the EV industry

Just a thought - is battery soh also directly linked to voltage? As our cars grow older and the batteries degrade will we still achieve for example 450v in a fully balanced HV battery pack or will this naturally reduce over time as the pack degrades?

Interesting. Is there a direct correlation between battery voltage and soc that could be plotted? This would mean that a user could find % soc by viewing the voltage. Not sure how useful that would be but I know some ZS owners have asked for the reundant battery button to show %soc.

Has anyone successfully used an obd dongle using iOS and logged the data? I’d like to do mine.

Great work. 0210622EU1 is the version with the remote app +100miles range auto aircon and faster infotainment 😂😂😂

OVMS is still very much in the development stage and will have limitations of course. There are a few posts on here covering what you might expect. I haven’t heard of anyone actively using it at the moment.
