Hi All.
So, I have an MG5 LR Exclusive 1st gen. Over the past two/three weeks the economy has started to drop which is to be expected at this time of year with wet-er roads, colder temps etc. However, driving like the proverbial nun, I was struggling to get more than 1.5-2.1m/kW and average went down from 4.4 to 2.1m/kW. Then, it would not charge from my Alfen home charger and took four or five attempts to get it to start and stay charging but would only charge for around 30mins then drop out. I had the BG engineer booked to call and check the charger. However, this week, the car has not accepted charge from the 22.5kW Easee chargers and the Project EV chargers at work or the fast chargers at Tesco. It starts, stays in charge for around a minute then stops.
I've got it booked in with Drive MG in Hull a week on Monday for diagnostics. It is now on charge through the plug-top snail charger and is accepting charge albeit at the usual very slow rate. Cannot see anything in the settings that may be causing this and have not changed anything. Also, not been through deep water, splashed through standing water etc as I know this can sometimes cause issues underneath.
The charged state shows 77% and range 82 miles which does not equate to the normal battery level and range.
Has anyone had an issue like this previously and if so, was there an outcome and diagnosis from their garage?
Thanks in advance everyone
