Came across a Youtube video posted 2 days ago showing MG cars sold in China. Thought of sharing it here -

Depends on the dealer. They normally charge it to 100%. You could also request them to do so couple of days before picking up if thats what you want.

A little late to the party but for the benefit of other users I used a company called Home-Zap for installing my Ohme. Really good people and did the job really well. I was charged £550 for everything including installation. I recommended them to a friend of mine too and he had one installed a...

I have an Ohme charger which does not have solar integration yet but I also think the amount of power that goes into your car also depends on the size of your inverter. If your inverter is 3.6kW, it will only discharge around that capacity which will be good enough for granny charger plus a few...

@FlashingBlade has rightly pointed out.Worth talking to Octopus on phone. They offer good deals. This is what I am on right now. Feels like a lottery winner given the sky high prices now. Electricity till Oct 2022 on Go Faster tariff.

Came across this and thought to share as an interesting read - Volvo is testing out wireless electric car charging

Try calling them - MG Customer Service 02039175821 If its anything technical you are after, they wouldn't answer but they do find out and ring you back.

Yes, a Luton based company called SSU Renewables Ltd. Really nice people, knew their stuff and after sales service has been excellent too.

Just for the benefit of everyone, here is an image from an excel sheet I created this morning to track my usage and savings. My setup is 3.95kW Solar + 3.6kW Lux Hybrid Inverter + 4.8kWh Pylontech batteries + Octopus Go Faster Plan. My setup includes filling up the battery if needed during the...

you are right. iSmart is only for 2022 facelift models.

@MazzyW : @thingaby 's solution works like a charm! Thank you @thingaby. I just tried it myself. Set scheduling in the car to charge between 9.30pm-2.30am. Deleted all schedules and set everything other than push notifications on Ohme app to OFF. Plugged in the charger at 8pm. Though it shows...

I did not know either that we had LFP on SR. I created a post on me not able to set the target SOC on the car as well as iSmart app and one of our members gave this information. Here is that post - Setting target battery level issue

This is great @thingaby. Thanks for this. I assume you have no charging schedules on your Ohme app? I have a ZS EV SR and this does not allow us to set the battery SOC and always sets it at 100% since its on LFP batteries. But as long as it starts and ends according to the car schedule...

@thingaby : When you plug in as a dumb charger, does it not automatically start to charge? Or does the car control override the Ohme setup. If the car charge setting has start at 9.30pm, and you plug in at say 7.30pm, will it start charging? Or wait till 9.30 pm? Do you setup any schedules on...

This is all that I use. I am yet to use Plugshare though. Also make sure you top up money into Podpoint account before using if its not free.

There is one other thing you can do. Manage the charge schedules with iSmarg app. Ohme unfortunately do not yet have a feature where we can set start times. Thats why we end up doing the setup as mentioned above. But if you want to skip Ohme totally then set up scheduled charging with iSmart...

So here are my settings. 1.First thing is if there are no schedules, the charger acts as a dumb charger. When ever we plug it in, it starts charging until we stop or it reaches 100%. So an active schedule is needed. 2. Set the Save Money toggle under general setting to OFF. This is done because...

Sure Mark. Ill send you all my settings and the details in a few mins. In the meanwhile can you confirm me the trim of your car. Is it SR/LR?

May be this helps @BarryH - Home Storage Battery . Its one of the posts in this same thread. Please do check a few followup posts too.

I initially had issues with tariff not being shown at my address. Are you able to see the tariff information? I am on Octopus Go Faster and everything is working fine with my setup. My schedule is different though. I just charge in those 5 hours setting the target % to 100. But it wouldnt charge...
