Powerline compatibility

[Jorgixhallo]

Hello. I'm in the process of setting up my "charging infrastructure" (car hasn't arrived yet).

I want to have a charger with dynamic load balance (by internet) but I don't currently have connection (4g nor internet) on my charging area.
Some previous MG models had an issue when charging with powerline. I searched the forums and found no reports for MGS5.

Is there anyone having issues with MGS5 (11kw obc in my case) models charging with powerline in the network?

Is your charging location too far from your home for WiFi to work?

 

[Jorgixhallo]

Yes. Underground garage and impossible to connect my own wifi there.

Needs hard wiring then

But are there any reports of powerline interference with Mgs5 charging? Or you are just suggesting for reliability purposes?

If there is no signal down there, you need a hard wire to the charger and/or have our car up top on a lead.

If you haven't already laid in power for your charger it would be simply enough to run an Ethernet cable at the same time. If you really want to go down the Powerline route for internet connectivity it may well be problematic if the runs are long and/or the infrastructure is shared.

Exactly what I want to do, but laws (and being shared location) in my country that do not allow me to do this easily.

just wanted to know if having a powerline downthere, even if I don't have load balance, will impact charging like it did on some previous models.
