Trophy still supports 3 phase AC charging ?

[Deleted member 9909]

The original UK spec for LR was 7kw only, and was published on their website. I asked Miles on the podcast and he confirmed 7kw only, 11kw was for continental Europe. Then lo and behold 11kw was delivered to the UK even though to this day the website still says 7kw...go figure that out

Yes, exactly, the original published spec was a mistake.

I am only seeing here the times for specific charge rates, it doesn't say anything about the max charge rate there. In the manual it is clear from the specs of the motor/inverter combinations that the SR is 7kW and LR 11kW. They might have intended a separate combination for the UK but didn't go ahead with it.

Edit: in case you are wondering why I have more faith in the manual, that's because it is normally the engineers that get to write that, whereas the marketing bumf is usually someone well removed from the details.

Europe. UK doesn't show max only estimated time which is equivalent to availability of rate surely and should have another row for 11kw. Even the UK dealers were?‍

I agree it is confusing.

Hmm. Does that mean they're now making the MG4 to actual UK specification? (The UK website doesn't specify any 11kW charging time).

The MG4 brochure states 7 KW charging for both battery versions!

Yip, read above confusion rained..and still does when 3 phase 11kw was delivered on LR models

6.6kW actually (from a nominal 7kW charge point).

I usually see 6.4kW minimum (in the MG app) when charging, with the charge point app showing 6.8 or 6.9kW.

I notice that my Trophy does not have the pins needed for 3 phase AC charging , has this facility now been removed so that all cars can only accept single phase 7kw charging ?

Bought mine in Oct 2022, it has 3 phase pins fitted as standard. 3 phase pins gives you a faster charge option.

What we are trying to determine is what build date did they possibly revert to single phase on LR. We seem to be focusing in on Dec/Jan onward builds. This is on the basis it did revert to 7kwh. If true then yours would be well before that date so ?

Mine was Dec 20th 2022, Trophy, and is definitely 11kw. It can be difficult to see the metal at the rear of the pins, I have noticed that some charge ports are more obvious than others.

On closer inspection I now think all my pins are in fact metal so maybe it is 11 kw after all.

 

[siteguru]

The charge port from an SE SR for comparison - certainly single phase. So if you can see anything in the L2/L3 slots then it's almost certainly 11kW 3-phase capable.

My Trophy (which is a 2023MY one) has 3 phase charging available.

I think it got established a few posts back that OP got his facts wrong….there appears to be no change

Yep, just adding my data point.

It might be a good idea to edit the original post.

“Trophy still supports 3 phase charging”

Along with still comes with seats and doors? ?
