Type 2 -type2 charging lead

[andymcdoodle]

Hello
New to this forum, just purchased a brand new MG5 very happy with it but didn't recieve the type 2 -type 2 charging lead with car only the granny lead, just wondering if it is normal not to receive the lead with new car or it should be standard and best place to purchase
Thanks for any information

No, you have to buy your own Type 2. Presumably you got a £10k discount on the car.

Yes got the £10k off the grey trophy ?

You can buy a lead for £70 from amazon

Does the Trophy come with three phase on board charging?
Are all dealers doing 10k discounts?

I think the fl can charge at 11kW.

I didn't get one with mine. My dealer said "don't buy the MG one, get a 3 phase from amazon". The FL 5 can get 11kW with a 3 phase cable and the right charger. I've only used it once in the 20 months that I've had the car but I was glad of the extra speed on that occasion.

I bought a couple of cables from the dealer when I bought my PFL.

Whilst I could have easily gotten them cheaper on Amazon the way I saw it was by getting them from the dealer means it's on them if it turned out to be a dodgy cable and caught fire/damaged the car.etc

Charging cable, waste of money I have found it you have a home charger. Used ours as Kevin, only once in 16 months, to try it out at the Eden Project.

That's fine for the PFL but for the FL MG were selling the wrong cable.

It is 3 phase but only 11kW

MG5 Mk 1 v Mk2 - charging & boot size/shape

I'm looking at chopping in the Mk1 MG5 for a Mk2 Trophy. The improvements seem to me to be be mainly cosmetic plus an app (is the screen larger too?). Also 360 camera. The battery size is the same I believe but would it charge faster on a higher power rapid? Is the boot the same size and...
