MG ZS EV Charging issue

[Batman]

My 3 week old MG ZS EV has been fine until the weekend. For the first time the remaining charge dropped to 10% and we got the charge warning as you would expect. Previously I have plugged into the charger no problem, next morning fully charged. But now it starts charging and drops out again after 1 or 2 seconds.
Is this a common problem with the ZS EV. It went the dealer today for a software update but I am charging it tonight and have the exact same issue.
Any suggestions?

As for the AA membership yes 12 months initially and if you take out the service plan(mine is 3 years) then you are covered by the AA for the full 3 years

I think you're covered without a service plan, as long as you have it serviced at an MG dealer, each service extends the AA cover for another 12 months.

That is correct, once serviced the AA is extended for another year, well it is with my MG dealer anyway.

I would change the frequency of the powerline adapters back to the original frequency if they weren't interfering before.
I don't understand, what is it you're wanting to escalate with MG ?

Hi, New member just going through old threads and found this very interesting.
Anyone know if it would be OK to trickle charge 12v battery “in situ” or should I disconnect it prior to charging?
Thanks, Iain

When I brought my MG and check with the AA. They said I was covered for thee years. However I never asked if a service was required. As a owner of a Hyundai car that comes with a three year AA recovery service. But only when the car is serviced per year.

You can charge the 12v in situ, but I would advise not to turn on the car whilst doing so, it might confuse the car's charging system.

I had my 12 month serviced last week...do not have a service plan....got a second AA card.

(but I'm already in the AA!)

Thanks Kithmo. I expect to be only using car for short journeys over the winter.
Probably with heavy use of heaters etc. so will regularly trickle charge the 12v battery. Cheers, Iain

When using TESCO Pod Point charger and walk away from Tesco about half a mile away it stop charging.
Question is there a range limit set to the mobile phone or to the charging post?

No there is no time or distance on the Pod Point once the charge has been processed and claimed until you disconnect.

Did you confirm the charge on the app ?
If not it will stop after 15 minutes.

Definitely 1 years free AA cover when you purchase the ZS EV, but I'm not sure about the additional year if you take out a service plan

My info is that if I take out the service plan (which I have-interest free monthly payment) the AA membership is renewed next year FOC

Yes I did and was confirmed to

That’s correct on all MG have them dealer serviced and get free AA and a Morris bear on my last service (ice) not on my Ev which is too new. Some dealers take the AA cards out, so ask for the AA card when you take delivery!
