granny charger

Is it ok to charge in the rain? Does rain gettting in around the car plug end or onto the charging unit cause any problems? I am using IP66 external wall socket with built in RCD so no problems there. Mostly concerned with rainwater splashing in and around the car plug end. MG HS PHEV Trophy 2...

Morning folks As I explained when I recently joined the forum I was due to have a 7kwh home charger installed in February but due to work being carried out I’ll have to wait until April/May now Now when parking allows at the back of my house I will use the MG Lead ( Granny Charger ) but I’ll...

Hello, just got my second hand 22 ZS EV Trophy LR yesterday and it's driving me crazy. Love the car but first EV, so not got a home charger. Yesterday I tried charging with the granny charger at home at 30%. It locks in place, blue lights go to green and fill up once, twice, then back to blue...

Second time charging my SE SR (LFP battery) to above 97% today on a granny charger outside at -2C°. The battery heater engaged automatically and drawing around 1.5 to 1.7 kW every few seconds. Charging to 100% will take a lot longer than I hoped. This is the same behaviour as if I had started...

As I've said in another thread I'm considering getting an X power. Is it possible to just use the supplied Granny charger to run the car. As I won't be venturing to far from home. For say, at least a couple of months, to find out if I really like an EV/X power and can live with it permanently...

Hi all, I’ve had the MG ZS for about 6 months now and like the whole experience a lot (for my first EV), but I’ve noticed a couple of issues that have cropped up recently and wondered if anyone has had a similar experience. Firstly, on more than one occasion when I plug it into my Smart Pro...
