My service is due within the next couple of months so I might ask them if there are any updates for CCS compatibility
I found that EDP chargers at McDonalds in Portugal do not work with the MG5.What I don't understand is why a Tesla supercharger with a CCS-2 plug and configured to work with non-Tesla vehicles looks any different from the MG's perspective to any other CCS-2 charger. If everyone followed the standard, this problem should not be possible.
My guess is that MG took some sort of short cut, and got away with it with most of the other charger vendors. Teslas might be more strict in their insistence that the standard must be followed exactly.
Those are my armchair thoughts, without knowing any of the details of the CCS-2 charging protocol.
Thank you for contacting MG Motor UK Ltd.
However, we do not have concerns relating to Tesla. Our vehicles are compatible when software is correct and up to date.
Its MG. I'm currently trying to track down which update is needed to get it to work. It might help if you also contact MG customer support. The more of us that make a fuss the more likely they are to actually give us some real information.MG5 Facelift -
I tried several chargers at the newly opened Tesla Superchargers (V4's) at Trentham, tried 3 different chargers with the app, phone and card, took 3 £20 deposits, (hopefully I get these back!?) but refused to start a charge...
Most annoying as I was on a 600 mile trip and really couldn't afford to be faffing around with extra time/distance, I heard they'd been opened and didn't even consider they wouldn't work for my MG5, and the cheaper cost would have saved more than a few quid all round...
Is it MG or Tesla?

Was this a blue MG 5 FL at around 11:00 French time?Hi all. Out in France atm. Tried to charge at Tesla’s Bourg-Achard units but no luck. Units just didn’t even see the car. Luckily it’s right next to a 120kW charger in Lidl that worked a treat and was cheaper.
Also tried charging at a Total Energies site (Bosgouet) but couldn’t, although there was another British MG5 there that charged okay.
Blue, yes, but the pre facelift version and it was around 8am. The other MG5 I saw was a red.Was this a blue MG 5 FL at around 11:00 French time?
We were charging there around then but it took us about 20min and a charger change to initiate the charge.
Excellent, let us know how you get on as the MG5 is a different model from MG4 so they could be unrelated issues.I’ll try that on the way home. Thanks.
Sounds like someone needs to fire their IT department then, whilst nothing is 100% bombproof outages should be a rare exception, but that makes it sound like it's happening far too frequently.Server availability changes on a daily basis.
