Ready/On while charging

[Hotlush]

Post on the Facebooks where a lady was trying to charge her completely dead phone while charging the car but kept stopping at ~2%.

From what I can gather I would guess she was using Start to power the accessories on and it was shutting them off after a while?

If so; is it possible to put the accessories in permanent on while charging?
With the Zoe you press the start button for a short while and that accessories will stay powered on until you turn it off again.
Anything similar with the ZS?

On the MG5 you press the start button twice to put it into ready mode this will then use the traction battery to top up the 12v one

Accessory mode normally turns off after 10 minutes on mine, although I've never tried it whilst charging.

Whilst charging it's recommended to put the car in ready mode, so you won't end up with a flat 12V battery.

While charging the car press the start button twice with or without the foot on the brake, it will not show ready on the dash but has engaged the HV battery, you can use Heater, Aircon and any other accessory items, (Charge your phone) it will slow down the charge a bit that's all, you will also get a warning on the dash that you are plugged in now and again not sure why it's necessary as you can't move off while charging, pressing the start button once will give you a short time of use before shutting down.
