Adventures with MG_Chargerhub

[Malcolm at Gold Coast]

I picked up my MG ZS EV last Thursday and went for a drive on Friday came home to charge at 35%, went to the back of the car and pulled out the trickle charger and stuck that on and about 17 hours later was back up to 100%. Did the same trip on Sunday and got home to find battery at 50%, Monday the electrician arrived and installed my 7kW MG charger.

Put the car on charge at 0930 at 50% and at 1400 was back up to 100%. So about three times faster.

The manual for the charger tells you that you can connect to the charger wifi hotspot, that was an adventure, many tries with no success ultimately the sequence:

MG Chargerhub powered on

Windows 10 PC:
Settings
Network and Internet
WIFI
change adapter options
right click wifi
connect
popup comes up ( you can also bring this up directly by clicking on the message icon in the task bar )

select wifi
select MG_Chargerhub
enter password Wb123456789 (from installation manual )

in a browser you can now enter 192.168.1.136
username xxcd (from the installation manual)
password 28912891

there are a number of pages of settings but mostly they are not of much use to you if your just going to plug your vehicle in to charge it.

The ismart app is much more useful.
