Maybe you should speak to an MG dealer in your country and ask them what the official reason is why they don’t supply them there.

Yes I’d read/seen they don’t include them in some countries. Maybe because of the 3 phase thing.

Here you go: http://www.cable-ratings.co.uk In the UK the standard domestic (single phase) installs are: 2.5mm radial circuit 20Amp MCB 2.5mm ring circuit 32Amp MCB I believe the use of the ring circuit is very much a UK thing and pretty much never used on the continent. 4.0mm radial circuit...

There’s a table in the UK regs that shows cable ratings for different installations (clipped/in insulation etc). In the UK we use solid strand copper cable too, usually referred to as twin & earth cable. Obviously different countries have different regulations.

There isn’t a “like” button for “jealous” otherwise I’d click it! The trouble with FB vs a proper forum like this, is people that take the effort to use a forum generally have the sense to Google things first etc 🙄

Yeah I have been neglecting the forum! Been a bit busy & to be honest things are shifting for obvious reasons towards the new model - which I unfortunately aren’t getting :( I’ve been seeing the Facebook group posts more recently, I need to stop looking at them though as it winds me up how...

I’m not sure about any of this, as you’re not talking about the UK as most folk on here are from. I thought the new ZS in Europe had the 3phase onboard charger. Is this purely for “proper” wall chargers, or is the granny supplied different? In the UK it is kinda illegal to fit a mains rated...

Lots and lots of info on here, have a search. You sounded like you got the normal MG dealer service, unless you goto one of the rare good ones. I do get the impression that some of your experiences/comments are relevant to all electric cars not just the MG - range/charging cable. You may want...

Does anyone know what the Centre Bore size is for the MG ZS EV? Is it 56.1mm? I know the PCD is 5x112 I'm looking at getting hold of one from ebay/FB etc and want to make sure it'll be compatible. https://www.road-hero.co.uk/wheel-package/?manufacturer=51&chassis=4372&wheel_id=668591

@Stuart Wright I'll donate one of my custom designed/3d printed MG Granny Charger Wall Holder/Mounts if you'd like for a competition. If you search for it on ebay, you'll see what it is. cheers Jody

I have now created a folding Type 2 holster, so the gun doesn't stick directly out from the wall. I've pretty much perfected it I think, but if you guys have any suggestions for improvements please let me know as I'd like it to be as good as possible. It is in 2 printed parts that join...

I have now created a wall holder for the MG granny charger. I've pretty much perfected it I think, but if you guys have any suggestions for improvements please let me know as I'd like it to be as good as possible. The granny charger just slots in so it can easily be installed and removed - I...

Just make sure you fully unwind it as you are pushing it to its maximum. Not so long ago I was using a power tool, was on for about an hour solid, had only unwound the extension cable by a few metres...... it tripped the protection on the extension lead and when I touched the cable it was so hot...

Was thinking about this as well - I can print just a holster on an integrated hinge, so you push it in straight into the wall and then swivel it to the side. I've got a nice accurately designed socket now - this one I've printed has holes in it so I can see what's going on better with the fit...

Taken a fair few hours, but this should work nicely, outlet on bottom for cable and I think enough on top but will have to check when get my ohme. Should be plenty of scope for hot air to get out. Split it into 3 parts for printing purposes. Will be about 24 hours+ in total to print...

I think this looks better now. Needs the holster on top obvs 5m cable - 3.5 coils should do it. Perfectly rounded slots to give the exact coil circumference for 3.5 of 5m cable! @Davemac278 hmm wouldn't quite fit yours in this arrangement. Maybe I'm going OTT with the 3 slots for the cable...

Needs a little more finessing esp around the holster, but what do you think for a concept? Fits over the ohme box - screen and led can be seen. 3.5 loops of cable, then gun in the holster. Shame I can't quickly/easily add what the cable & gun would look like to the design! (Need to add the MG...

Can I ask you as you've got the ohme already. How long is the cable from the box to the gun? How many loops/coils do you suggest? Don't suppose you could measure the cable diameter could you? thanks :) I'm thinking... A "box" surround for the ohme charger box, then above/joined to it, a cable...

I pretty much print everything I make in PLA, it's just easier. It'd last a good 5 years I'd have thought outside. Probably no one here wants one for their ZS EV lol - but I adapted the lego head door knobs I make for someone who wanted a gear knob - I do lego head tyre valve caps too!

I've got another idea, will try and do it in CAD quickly. How about the MG logo printed in glow in the dark material and the rest in plain!?
