Sorry its long but thought best to put all the information on.many thanks .

Hope you find an answer as we are considering a zappi

Have you got any schedule or % level set in the charging menu? If 2 other cars can charge off the Zappi, it has to be something in the car.

The car has no on board schedule as it was the first mg ev and 45 battery,this has only happened 4 weeks ago and we are puzzled thanks for replying

Does the car charge normally on a DC rapid charger? It's all pointing towards the onboard AC charger failing.

We can charge it any DC and AC away from the home.many thanks for your reply,when I went up Tescos to do a rapid charge,I spoke to another ev charging person in Tescos and he said it sounds like a software issue.

That would be a 10mm spanner on the 12 volt battery then. Disconnect for 10 mins and then try again.

The Gen 1 ZS EV does not like any noise on the mains. Due you have internet over the mains (powerline etc) or even a Sky Q box? If so, disconnect these and try again.

My podpoint charger needed an update to work after installing battery and solar. Chargers with load balancing may see the solar/battery as an additional load and reduce their output accordingly. I would speak to My Energy to see if any updates are available.

On Zappi chargers they are always go to the reset position. If you wish to get a full charge to the car .press the presets to fast this will give you 7.1 KW, on the other presets it charges to suit the western power demand at the time. Check your zappi has been updated in the software. You can find this in your menu.

Have you got any WiFi extenders plugged in at home, these can interfere with charging. If so unplug them and try charging with them unplugged.
