I've had my 73 plate ZS Long Range just two years. Previously charging without a problem at home (Octopus/Zappi) and occasionally at fast chargers (service stations and local BP station). In December charging started playing up. Home charger was inconsistent and Fast charging (using DC) was a complete NO! Resolved the home charging issue by disconnecting 12V battery and reconnecting. Still won't charge at any fast charging points. I've tried 5 different chargers in three different towns. Even had charger "help" people on the phone trying to bypass the charger and force a connection. Every time the apps (BP) or charger screens (Sainsburys, Tesco and Ospray) says "Connection error" or "Can't Communicate", suggesting it's a problem with the car communicating with the charger.
Car's in for a service with MG today and I've told them about it. They've said (at drop off), we can't fix that as we can't check the chargers. Told them it's not the chargers, it's clearly the car.
Anyone had anything similar or managed to fix it - so I can tell the garage. I'm a driving instructor and REALLY need to be about to fast charge the car if the need arrises.
Many thanks.
