With each charging operator installing different hardware it can vary from charger to charger. There's an EVPoint near work for me that needs you to pre-auth before the charging connector can be removed from the charging point itself, whereas Ionity Milton Keynes let's you plug in before you...

Ah that makes sense! Lock the car before starting the charge and you might find the charging more reliable - the charger locks in when you lock the car. Unlock when it's started and lock again when you get in to keep the charging going.

It's the one on the central display: You'll immediately hear the charger lock, then you can start charging and power the car back on once started. It's a bit of a fiddle getting out the car, plugging in, getting back in to lock, back out to start charging etc. But it does seem to work reliably.

Rapid charging with the MG5 can bit sketchy if you don't lock the car first. I've also found once a charge fails, getting it going again can be a bit of a nightmare and might even need the car turning off for 10 mins before it'll charge correctly. To avoid this, power off the car, connect the...

I've had similar issues with Ionity at Milton Keynes (older type, no Halo) and occasionally elsewhere. Everything starts, and as soon as the light by the port illuminates green, charging stops. I've managed to avoid this happening by following the below: If leaving car unattented. - Power off...

Out of the blue, my local dealer sent me this email today, presumably due to asking about this before: Nothing new here; it's a chargeable upgrade on my FL mode, but good to get an official update in writing.

Just as a heads up; I have a 2023 FL, and all dealers I've spoken to are stating the EVCC update is now chargeable, despite it originally being covered FOC.

Tried calling 9 dealerships myself on a facelift model; all are chargeable and advising that MG will no longer cover the cost, despite it originally being covered. The cheapest quote I managed to get was £96 (inc. VAT) for 0.6 hrs labour from Brindley MG Wolverhampton.

2023 Trophy FL here (registered July 2023). Some dealers seem completely unaware of the issue. My two closest (Brindley Cannock and Wolverhampton) knew straight away what I needed, with Cannock quoting £159 and Wolverhampton £96. I did try the dealer in Rochdale as I work in that area every...
