charging

Hi all, I'm looking for advice about my charging situation at home. I live in a block of flats and there are EV chargers in the garage, provided by the building. They operate with a token system. One token gives you 1 hour of charging. A bag of 20 tokens cost us £66 including VAT, so £3.30 per...

Hi all, I just wanted to see what KW other MG4 owners were getting with their OHME Home Pro (OHP) I had the OHP 8m tethered installed with this configuration: 6mm Doncaster EV cable ~ 10m from the box. 100A into the house, 80A RCD Type A with a 80A Type C MCB. Set at 32A max, with Load...

I know there are a lot of threads about tariffs but i'm so confused🤯. Currently a Bulb customer but as they have been taken over by Octopus I have to switch to them for the EV Tariff. However from what I have read and if my understanding is correct. Octopus will give me a cheaper rate for 6...

Hi, I've just had some solar panels and battery fitted and no zappi..... yet. I was hoping to remote start and stop the MG4 charge using the app. When I do this the car charges at maximum current. If I sit in the car and choose a reduced current and start the charge from the car, it charges...

Hi, I am new to the EV driving and charging. Will be collecting my MG4 Long Range next week. I got a home charger fitted and waiting for the car. I have a rather long commute to work about 120 mile both ways, on average 3m per kWh I expect about 40 kWh consumption each day. Should I plug in...

I’m on Octopus Go for cheap electricity between 0030 and 0430. Octopus manages the change to and from BST automatically. So no need to do anything unless you use timers to switch on appliances during the cheap rate. I was surprised to see that my Easee One EV charger changed my charging period...

Hi I’ve had my MG4 two weeks but only just got iSmart app working as head unit was not activated. Unfortunately, I’ve tried home charging tonight which has been fine in the past but has become very buggy. If I’m logged into the App the charging seems to stop after a few minutes and requesting...

I finally received my MG4 this week and i've been really enjoying the car so far but i'm having a few problem with the scheduled charging from my Easee one home charger. I have set the scheduled charging in the car to between 2:30 and 5:30am which is inside the off peak tariff with my electric...

I decided to try a couple of public chargers this morning, the first being a fast charger where I used my type 2 cable. It may have been my fault for not pulling out the cables in the right order or not pressing something on the infotainment screen, but I took the connector out of the car first...

Hi All, came here in desperate hope for anything I can do. I have had my car for 18months and have done just over 15k miles. Last night the car didn't charge -originally blamed the update pushed out to home charger. It didnt start charge via schedule nor when I pressed boost. I unplugged and...

Hi I'm new to the Forum as I've just noticed an issue and am hoping for some advice as to how this can be fixed - Apologies if this has already been discussed! For Info I drive a 22 Plate MG HS PHEV I've noticed that when using Free Electric Chargers (my new employers have two installed) Once...

I have home charger for my MG zs long-range trouphy connect , the other day was away and wanted a top up charge but the machine would not charge to more than 80% is this standard? If so not good when on a holiday.

Hi All, Ive had my MG5 standard range 50kW just over a month now. I installed an 11kW 3ph charger at home and only charge overnight on cheap rate. We've only done just over 1,000kms The first time I used the scheduled charging feature there was an option to choose a finish time or battery %. As...

I am sure I have read this on here but cant find it. How do I calculate the rate that my car is charging? I am sure it looks at the battery size and voltage but cant recall how to calculate. Mine is a pre facelift long range?

Over the last few years I have been checking the availability of EV chargers near to me as I live in a flat and am unable to have my own wall charger. before covid, when I started looking at purchasing an MG EV there were only 2 locations with 7kw chargers and 1 22kw within a 2 mile radius of...

So can you charge for free at Tesco? What is required?

Interesting video on charging cost network via network will be helpful to many I’m sure Led
