That charging at 23:30 was yesterday, which worked fine. On the day it failed the first charging session was 00:00. I don't set the schedule, Octopus does. All I have to do is to tell Octopus how much I want to charge and when I want it by and Octopus creates the schedule. That's the deal with...

I need 100% to get me 150 miles. Looking at the logs you can see that at midnight the Zappi was instructed to charge, it started communicating with the car but then decided to reboot instead of charging, then wouldn't charge after it restarted. This shows the issue is either a blip in the Zappi...

I have updated to the latest firmware a little while ago, I checked and it's still the latest. Nothing wrong with the API, it works 95% of the time, worked perfectly again last night. It's just that I need 100% (or near to it) guarantee that I can get in my car in the morning and go somewhere...

Tesla open chargers? Haven't heard of that. Do you mean free? I can use 150kW superchargers en route but they only deliver max about 50kW to the MG. I wouldn't expect Tesla to cost less than other chargers. Anyway this isn't the point of the thread, it's about having no charge in the morning...

The LR was an extra £5k for a slightly older car (extra 25% of the price I paid). And yes, I have briefly charged a couple of times, when I arrived with 53%. I expect to have to boost every time when it gets colder.

Just over 70 miles each way, takes about 1.5 hours. I make it back without recharging with <20 miles to spare when I can set off in the morning with 100%, but a couple of times I've boosted for 10mins at a supercharging point just to be safe. The 10 minute boost costs more than the entire 100%...

Neither - Octopus does the scheduling. You tell it how much you want to top up by and what time, then it creates a schedule based on that. I don't use any scheduling on the Zappi or the car. The Zappi is set to Smart Charge, Eco+. Octopus controls the Zappi via API to turn it on and off at the...

Same here for my 2015 Mercedes E220 Conv. I've never seen headlights like it before or since; the high beam 'shapes' around the car in front so it blanks out just the part of the beam where the car is. It's amazing and worked flawlessly every time, I never got flashed.

Well I thought of doing that, but if it's the Zappi causing the problem then it won't help. Also, have to do a 140 mile round trip fairly often and I run it down to single-digit % by the time I get home. At an average charging rate of about 6.5kWh/h then 6hrs it's not enough to get up to 100%...

I have "Intelligent Octopus Go" tariff which has been working perfectly up until this week. You just tell Octopus how much charge you want added and by what time (before 11am) and it sets up a schedule and charges me 7p/kWh whenever the scheduled charge is running, even if it's outside the...

I have a 2024 (73) MG ZS EV Trophy connect SR. I bought it in August and it's been back to the dealer twice so far for faults (only 1 out of 4 were fixed), about to go in again to fit a part ordered for steering knock issue. At the weekend I did a 145 mile journey in the evening (just made it...

Yes, the radio is absolute pants. Have you looked at the station list or favourites list? Crikey, a big panel of small grey rectangles with the largest text (about 3mm) showing the multiplex name (why?) and tiny, tiny text (about 1.5mm) showing the station name. It's unusable whilst driving. And...

I get this about one in 5 starts (2024 Trophy Connect) - the battery light stays on and I get a message about HV battery. I have to power off and back on again (a bit like Windows 3.1) and always worked the 2nd time. I worry at some point it may just decide to not start at all. I mentioned it to...

Surely in Paris stop/start traffic ACC is ideal? Whenever I'm in a slow-moving queue I just set the ACC to 30mph and it just creeps along behind the car in front so you don't need to bother with the constant accelerator/brake

It should work as a normal USB-C port for charging but doesn't. Just another example of the cheapo components they use in these cars. Last week I rented a car in Spain, a basic Citroen C4. That had wireless Android Auto (as do most cars these days, except MG) but also the USB-C port worked fine...

Interesting that sounds the same. Except that the technicians cable worked in my phone despite all my own cables not. I really want it to work because I usually have my phone in the AA socket and my passenger often wants to charge her phone at the same time.

Do you know where you bought your cable that works? As I said said, I have 8 cables that work literally everywhere else but the MG, so I don't know what to look for if I try to find one for the MG. Who knows, I could buy 8 more before finding one which does.

Just for charging! That's the weird thing, I have never had a USBC to USBC which doesn't charge, but they also all work for data transfer with the computer yet in the MG they don't work even for charging.

Does anyone have a picture of what the standard Gen 2 wheels look like without the trims?

I get he same thing, 2024 Trophy Connect and Samsung S24. Whatever I say it doesn't seem to hear me so given up trying. The MG voice commands for non-AA are pretty useless too. They work about 20% of the time, so I don't bother trying with those either any more. My Google home devices and...
