Thank you. Let me try another site charger.

You might find that older chargers will have problems with your car but in general (I think) the instavolt ones are newish.

Thank you. Let me try another site charger.

We spotted a Gen 1 ZS EV charging on a Instavolt rapid unit at a McDonald's only today !.

MG5 and ZS have different characteristics at chargers though from what I've seen on this forum.

On my 2021 MG 5 SR, I have used InstaVolt rapid charger using credit card three times now without the slightest hitch. i have also used SWARCO and Geniepoint which aren’t on your “ supported” list.

I have had no issues with Instavolt and also used Shell and Mer which are not on your list

I use InstaVolt with no problems in the summer Gridserve kept shutting my battery down angry it had finished charging

 

[Jomarkh]

I try and charge to 80-85% on a rapid just incase

Instavolt have a great reputation as the most reliable chargers. As meny on this forum wiil confirm.

I think you will find the car can use any rapid charger although there may be a few faulty individual units about.

 

[mg52021]

I have used another Instavolt charger today but still no luck to charge. I have used Osprey to charge it successfully.

Was it a 50kW rapid?

We only can use Instavolt 50kW rapid charger?

I've used a BP Pulse 50kW on my MG5 fine.

Edit. Only had a problem with it when I wasn't a member

You can use any Instavolt, the car will govern how much it takes.

How are you operating it, are you using the app or contactless? Follow the instructions on the charger or the app.

Pretty much same as all other rapids, turn car off, plug in, start charge with app or wave your card..........and wait............until it completes the handshake and commences.

If I use the instavolt 120Kw, the charger will start to charge. But, after a while, the charger will stop to charge.

What is your state of charge %age (SOC) when you start, what is it when it stops ?
