Type 2 lower than expected Charging speed.

Hello everyone,

Just brought home a new MG ZS EV SR 22 plate.

In my previous EV I was pulling 7.2KWh from our tethered wall charger. For some reason the MG is only pulling 6.4KWh.

Now for some people that might not be an issue but we’re in Octopus Agile so we charge at night at a reduced rate but for only 4 hours so every little bit that I can add to the battery helps.

P.S. for some reason in the actual car it’s ready at a voltage of 400-410 and an amperage of -15!

Any thoughts?

That -15amps is voltage going in at 400v so over 6kw going in I think the car tops out at 6.4 / 6.6 anyway

Ah okay that makes more sense then! A slight shame then as my previous car allowed for 28.8 KWh in that four hour period compared to the MG's 26.4 but oh well!
