Remote Charging

[hywel]

I have an HS PHEV TROPHY 2025. Recently I have heated the car in the morning via the MG remote app. Although plugged into a live mains supply the car heated from the battery and as such reduced my 75 mile range. I thought that the car would prioritise taking power from the mains not the battery. Is what happened correct or should it have heated from the mains supply.

I have a measuring device on my charger. When I start the heating via the app, it draws power from the car battery but at the same time continues to charge from the mains socket. I have set my charger to 5 kW, but that doesn't seem to be enough, because even though it charges the car with 5 kW from the mains socket, the battery still loses 2-3% in 10 minutes.
