Basic charging.

So, was visiting my son in Warwick and stopped off at Lidl to pick some bits up and they had quite a few pod point chargers and the 50Kw was available. So plugged, in activated charging on the mg app (not the point pod app) and went shopping. I actually thought it must be free as I’d not opened the pod ping app but the next day I checked the app and they’d put me into debit (my account is PAYG) so a bit disappointed it wasn’t free but kinda liked that they let me charge rather than blocking it once my top up had run out

I wondered what would happen if the balance ran out while charging, that's useful to know.
Did it stop after 15 minutes, or does that not happen on the rapids ?

No, it didn’t stop after 15 minutes - it charged to the requested 80% which took around 40 minutes
