I’ve had my LR Trophy connect over a year and only discovered this feature the other day… not bother trying it out now ! ?

If you’re sticking with Octopus it will have to be compatible with them. At the moment the car is not. I have a Rolec, which is not compatible ( it’s useless as a smart charger anyway!) . I charge using Octopus Agile which I find perfect for my needs.

I had to have the passenger door lock replaced as it would only open from the outside, my car is less than a year old. No problem getting the dealer to replace it.

I agree about the Rolec “ smart “ charger. I’ve never been able to get the app to work properly, got fed up trying to get it sorted so now only use the MG app which since the last update has worked well. I’ve had a few niggles with my Trophy long range ( 12v battery being one ) but love my car !

That’s a relief, I’m so hopeless at all this stuff ??‍♀️

I’ve been shut out of my MG account, app. It won’t accept either of my new verification codes! Not ideal, as you can imagine, just as I’d been thinking the new upgraded app was so much more reliable ? . Anyone point me to the solution?

I don’t really understand what the function of “ battery heating” is ? I’ve read that if using a rapid charger ( in cold weather) you should preheat the battery to make it accept the charge easier/ quicker?? But would you not normally be using a rapid charge to top up on a journey when the...

Thanks , got it . I knew it would be obvious ?

Don’t like the updated version , but where is the scheduled charging option. I need to use it tonight! Thanks

As I only charge fairly infrequently and don’t have a compatible charger, I went with Octopus Agile. Suits me as I live alone and can plan to use very little at the peak times, generally between 4-7 . Wouldn’t suit everyone.

Yes I did, went onto website and changed it to include a “ special character “

I had a journey of 157 miles this week. Went from 82% to around 10% ( 30 miles at any rate ) Barely made it home ?. Mix of motorway (70mph) and A roads at 60mph. Only had heating on occasionally but windscreen wipers for half the journey.

Oh and they tried to blame the battery loosing charge on me forgetting to lock the car !. The locking of the car turns thing’s completely off?

I had the same thing, the warnings started after I had to be rescued by the AA when it wouldn’t start. Taken to the garage where they charged the battery. The car continued to give the warning, back to garage, decided it was a sensor! The car was back into the garage overnight on 2 further...

You’re correct in that .. my quoted rates are very substantially higher than that !!
