Hi Everyone,
Just had my car returned to me after a service and the BMS Update 4 (15/1/2021) & Comfort Pack 2 Update (Mid 2020). I have a Rolec charger and my previous experience when charging was :
- Plug 7KW charger in, lock the doors, charger starts but delivers a 'trickle' charge until the off peak time arrives, and then ramps up to full charging capacity until the end of off peak or the car is fully charged, whichever comes first.
I believe that now I have the latest updates I shouldn't need to lock the doors for the Rolec charger to initiate charging? and also that it shouldn't 'trickle' charge anymore until the off peak time arrive, as the car is now able to 'wake up' at that time without being kept awake by the trickle charge?
If that is the case... my experience when I tried to connect it to the charger when it came back from the updates was :
Any advice?
BTW I had to pay £132 for the pleasure of the updates :-(

- Doors unlocked, plug in 7KW charger, go to ev.energy app (which is configured to do Smart Charging (Only charge off-peak)), click on 'Boost, app says it is doing a boost charge, but Rolec charger has not changed state, dashboard on car says connected but not charging....
- Doors locked, 7KW charger plugged in, Rolec charger starts and I believe is still doing the 'trickle' charge thing (MG badge LED breathing)
Any advice?
