Charging on Tesla Supperchargers Blocked

[JayMG]

I have had problems recently charging on Tesla Superchargers. I had a membership for Dec as was travelling a lot in UK and France.

I spoke to Tesla Customer Service in both France and UK and both told me that most MG models are now being blocked on technical grounds. They said no end date at the moment and gave me a full refund on my membership.

Not sure which models are and are not effected - mine latest ZS LR.

Any other experiences?

This has been noted elsewhere on the MG5 forum. See this post, it is not just MGs.

Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

Tesla Supercharger Issue (MG5 EV) I signed up to the £10.99 subscription yesterday, I had used a supercharger successfully in Banbury (June 22) while the Osprey ones were faulty. It seems Tesla one of the cheapest chargers at the moment, so went for the subscription as I have a regular commute...

I couldn't connect with my ZS LR at Tesla Trumpington on January 2nd.

My summer trip away is getting increasingly more expensive by the day. I was counting on using Tesla chargers. Hope they fix it

I don't this this affect MG4's, at least not mine anyway last time I charged at one. Someone else with a 4 also reported charging OK recently on a Tesla charger.

I didn't think Tesla chargers were particulalrly cheap last time I looked, but not doing much public charging I am probably out of date.

Sadly everyone else has jacked their prices up so much that they're actually one of the cheapest now.

Ah OK - suppose you can't blame them when their costs have rocketed.

Looks like MGs can charge on superchargers again

 

[JayMG]

Not all models were blocked so the odd picture of one charging is no great help.
More MG 4s than others seem to have been ok.

We need Tesla to confirm. Last week they told me most models blocked and no end date in sight. Since then I have seen quite a few posts across the web flagging problems

Interesting, my friends MG4 didn’t work last week and he assumed that it was just the problem with MGs in general…

I was not aware that the super chargers at the Trafford Centre where included in one of the 15 trial sites for NON Tesla users ?.

Oh weren’t you? You know you can check on the Tesla app right?

Thanks for that !.
I have seen the published list of the 15 trial sites in the UK but it only stated Manchester x2 I was not aware they where at the Trafford Centre, or they could be singled out / viewed on the Tesla App - Thanks .

I had trouble back in November with my MG ZS EV 2022. I don't travel to much, but is still an issue? Do we know why?

What is the kWh rate for none Tesla charging?

What is the kWh rate for none Tesla charging?

You can check the app, but they usually have dynamic pricing. I checked quickly on the app now for the southern UK and the average was this: £0,55 /kwh from 00:00 - 16:00, £0,71 /kwh from 16:00-20:00, £0,55 kwh from 20:00-00:00.

As above re rates, but Tesla/non-Tesla same rate.

 

[Cocijo]

Interesting that rates are time sensitive. Do any other rapids do this?

I have heard of Geniepoint and one of the lamppost charger suppliers doing the same.
The Charger people are charged different rates at different times of day I believe.
