Charging Challenges

[Coitanger]

Hi all, first time post and hoping my sanity can be spared further challenge.

We have 2023 MG4EV Trophy LR and 2 chargers (an Ohme and an Easee).

Over the last 2 weeks I have had major problems charging from either charger. Each charger says car not connected/unplugged Everything says this is a car issue however the car charges ok at public charger. The charge lights at the charge point don’t work but I think this is a red herring. Any thoughts or tips or special ways to waggle the charge cable gratefully received. Cheers.

When you say a public charger are you talking about an AC (usually supply your own cable) or DC (tethered cable)? Have you tried a granny charger?

I used my cable at work last week and it charged. I will try the Granny option and report back. Cheers

It would be good to know if if works OK on DC CCS Rapid chargers as they are different to type2 7kW EVSE or a granny

Granny charger is working so the car end is fine. Cause is either the cable or 2 chargers. Smart money has to be on the cable surely.

In China, some vehicles need to replace the DC charging plug assembly to fix similar faults.

Either borrow another charging cable and see if that works on your chargers, or if that still doesn't work, try charging at someone else's home charger.

You don't by any chance have a powerline adaptor fitted in the house? If so they are known to be a problem with some car chargers.
