    Reverse engineering an mg4 51kwh battery pack

    Just a thought... would someone on here with an MG4 SE, CarScanner and an OBD dongle be able to generate some debug logs to get @JacobsMess some CAN data? It would also be interesting to know if anyone has used that battery pack for a home storage system - I'd much prefer using an LFP pack for...

    Who is best now?

    I'm not convinced that would be cost effective - you'd need at least 30kWh of battery storage to put a decent charge into an EV, taking into account round trip losses of about 85% to and from the battery storage. And then a decent size inverter... :unsure:

    Help - No Charging on Granny Charger

    Just wondering whether you have you tried disconnecting the 12V battery for a bit, reconnecting and test again? Also, as @Jomarkh suggested, have you tried your vehicle on a different AC charger and tried your granny on another EV?

    Will Caliban start on Monday morning?

    The big difference though is that for an ICE vehicle the 12V battery is needed to crank the engine, which will draw a huge current, especially with in a diesel engine, as well as run the vehicle's electronics. With an EV, the 12V battery only needs to power the electronics enough to put the...

    Is it worth trying a reboot (12V battery disconnect with 10mm spanner)?

    poor charging efficiency

    Doesn't sound right to me. Have you checked... a) that you didn't select any cabin pre-conditioning to be on? b) that your smart meter's night-time usage concurs with what your charger reported it used? - and, if you're old, like me - c) that you had your glasses on and didn't misread the...

    UK domestic socket charging

    (y) Command sockets are approved under section 722 of BS7671 for EV charge points. But, like dedicated BS1363-2 EV rated 13A sockets, when installed within a property with a TN-C-S earthing arrangement will require dedicated earth rod or PEN fault detection.

    When the person who invented the USB connector dies, they’ll lower his coffin into the grave, realize they put it in upside down, and have to do it again. Then they’ll realize they had it right the first time.

    Have you looked closely at / tried an ID.3? (and no, I'm not on commission!)
