MG4 Charging power 0.0kW

[wattmatters]

So no you can't charge in ready mode, because you can't get into ready mode with the charger door open.

The charger flap being open has never prevented me putting the car into ready mode and driving. I'll get a dash warning but it won't stop me driving.

That's what I just found out, but plug a cable in and you can't drive.

Of course. That would not be a good thing!

Reminds me of the old drive-in movies with the speaker and heater box hanging on the side window. Always someone would drive off with it still attached.

Hi All,

I got an MG4 Trophy LR last week. I've had issues with charging it when on a schedule from either the charger or the car. The charger I have is a Project EV Apex charger. If I plug the car into the charger and want it to charge straight away it works absolutely fine. The issue I have is my cheap ev tariff runs between 00:00 and 05:00AM. When i plug the car in and a schedule is set for these times the charger shows as charging and the car also shows as charging but on the car it shows the Charging power is 0.0kW. The only way I've found to resolve this issue is to unlock and relock the car once in the above charging state and then all of a sudden it works and charges at 7kW on both the charger and the car. Has anyone else had this? If so please can you share if it was the charger or the car.

Same experience with our Indra Smart Pro.
I have to set a schedule on the MG4 to match when Octopus Intelligent gives the charging slots.
Occasionally this fails.
The trick I have is to stop the charge and then restart in the app.
It's a pain if the charging slots are not all consecutive.
My wife's Kia has no issue
