Hi
@Mark Brown im sat rapid charging as I type this. I can confirm that
@MG Technician is correct and that I cannot charge while in ready state. I thought I was because I was holding down brake pedal but the word ready was not there.
I can confirm this behaviour with my car. While waiting, one press of start is ACC mode, no hvb and turns off after 5 mins. Two presses is on, but message hv battery shut off message flashes up indicating I’m going to kill 12v. Brake pedal plus start is ready mode perfect for setting off or chilling with radio.
While charging one press is acc mode And two presses is on with hvb. I cannot put car into ready mode while charging.
You could run the hvac while car is ‘on’ and rapid charging but after reading
@MG Technician advice, I would say you would be better letting the car try to cool the battery for faster charging.
