Looking at getting an EV soon on lease may be even buy outright so getting a home charger installed in the next week or so. Is the above charger ok to use with MG cars?

I've been having intermittent problems charging my MG ZS EV for about the last year. Sometimes when I plug it in it charges as normal, but other times it just won't play. I hear the car lock the plug in but I don't hear the clunk of the charger contactor. I've gone through a lot of tests with...

Hi All I bought a ZS a couple of weeks back and it arrived literally two days before we went on holiday. I had a Rolec Qubev Smart home charger installed while I was away by an approved electrician. Everything is installed and the app is connected to the unit, but when I try and charge, it...

Hi all. Where I work we have 2 Rolec posts with 2 charge ports each. They are about 18 months old, it looks like from the factory they were not checked properly and the wiring was not tight causing it fail and an electrician thinks it could have burst into flames. Rolec customer service DO NOT...

Our son has a Rolec charge point at his home which is about 6 years old and becoming a bit intermittent. I have just had solar panels fitted which involved having my home charger replaced by a Zappi. I have given him our old PodPoint Solo which is only about 3 years old. A local electrician...

I had a Rolec Homestart EV charger installed 2 years ago when I bought my HS PHEV as part of the deal between MG and Rolec that was available then. I live in a rural location and when installer was fitting the charger he told me that my mobile signal was not good enough to guarantee reliable...

Hi, I’ve had a Rolec wall charger since getting the car last November. There’s always been a bit of a loss which I expect from the cable etc, but the last two charges seem to have really bad losses in terms of what Kwh the charger is drawing and what is getting into the car. Today I started the...

I have the same dumb Rolec unit as you Michael it was installed back in 2016 I think ?. Can I ask, how reliable have you found it ?. Thanks !.

As mentioned elsewhere I will be switching to Go shortly and I have a Rolec smart charger at home. It is not entirely obvious how to set it up for charging just between 12:30 and 04:30 on the app. Is there anyone else with the same setup that can shed a little light ? TIA

Hi guys, Trying to get quote from electricians to get EV charger pod installed. A lot of then are recommending rolec EV smart charger. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

I have a Rolec homesmart charger that has been dropping offline while charging overnight (meaning it doesn't stop at the end of the cheap rate). I also have an OVMS unit installed in the car, could the 2 be anyway related? I haven't tried unplugging the unit for multiple charges yet (I will do...

Like new Rolec Wallpod 7.2kW (32A) Type 2 Socketed Electric Vehicle EV Charge Point. Was mounted to a wall before being carefully removed. It has never been used and is in fantastic condition. Supplied with approx 10m of 4mm^2 3 core HiTuff / NYY-J cable. £200 + delivery or collection from...

I've seen a few comments on posts which have suggested using a Shelly 1 Switch to upgrade a dumb charger to allow timed charging. Well now I've done it and I can confirm: 1. It works 2. It's relatively easy to install (I’m no genius and I did it) 3. Cost me under £20 and saved £800 on...

I’m having issues changing my car with my home charger Rolec. When I plugged in never charge. Sometimes will charge after couple of attempts. Seems get worse when weather gets cold doesn’t charge at all. If I’m charging outside seems working perfectly. Anyone can help me with this issue

I have a Rolec charger and use the ev app for smart charging There are no issues that concern me but I wonder is there anyone on here that has the Rolec but use a different app for smart charging?

Just spotted this item and though it maybe useful for anybody who has a problem regarding the above issue. I do remember a member having a problem and was looking for a budget repair for his unit. Sorry, but I searched for the post but I am unable to locate it. I have recently rebuilt my Rolec...

OK, so as I'm not using the car very much at all due to lockdown, but actually charging it last night, I have a question; once the car has charged and the MG light on the charging port stays on all the time, it's doing an equalisation charge. The ev.energy app for the Rolec charger says that...

Just wondering if anyone can help me with smart charging. We purchased our zs in December and been successfully granny charging it on an evening with a timer plug to charge off peak hours...we’ve just had a rolec smart charger installed. Unfortunately only after we had it installed we’ve...

Hi all, I was emailing ev.energy over the last couple of days to try and get smart charging working properly with my Rolec charger. As many may know, there is an issue at the moment where Rolec chargers don't work properly if you want delayed/smart charging. So at the moment there is a...

Picked up my new #TeamRed ZS EV today and now home trying unsuccessfully to charge on a Rolec 7.2kw tethered home charger (4 year old model - see pic below). The unit was professionally installed and I’ve no power line or other adapters on my wiring. Charger is ready (blue continuous light)...
