My understanding is the hv battery will kick in and top off the 12v so long as its above a certain %. This wasn't present on the early mg5s or ZS but was later patched in with a software update. A modern jump pack was listed as a good idea to carry in the vehicle for such cases where the 12v has...

See I would have gone with 'parts sourced outside of normal channels due to shortages and they're not up to standard or have unexpected compatability issues'. Looks like most in this thread have later production mg5 LRs. Hope you all get it resolved as the car is genuinely fantastic.

Is it actually fitted in the UK? Or is it just in the software for other regions that do.

Seems to be very hit n miss. My experience by email over the last 3 years had been good and I used them for my EVSE, when ChargedEV screwed it up, the Octopus support for very good. I have a feeling the most attractive product will be Intelligent Octopus, with Go shifting to a variable rate...

Was 1.9/2.0 mine for the first few miles this morning. But I had left it on the drive defrosting at max temp for 10 minutes. 35 miles later it levelled out at. 2.9

Which model do you have? Trophy/exclusive etc. Im guessing you have a 22 plated mg5 (like myself) which is a pre-face-lift model and does not have iSmart compatiblity.

My understanding was the protocol doesn't support it (bit shortsighted imo) so no cars can actually communicate with the charger about charge states when charging on AC. Those that do know the charge state are most likely pulling the data via an Internet based api, for vehicles with apps whose...

That would be the SR then. Personally I would charge near the destination before arrival, this would then mean a pleasant non-stress return once you have picked up your passenger. I find knowing I've got enough charge to make it home with some wiggle room means it's not playing on my mind...

I believe the manual specifically states to not use regen3 in icy conditions, because it is likely to cause loss of traction.

Checked mine this morning. No sign of it defrosting near the camera. Worth noting that due to the camera/housing its likely to affect the rate at which that area freezes, differently to the rest of the screen and may explain some of the discrepancy you're seeing.

Poorly worded post on my behalf. The point I was trying to make, was we should be load shifting to when our power mix is the greenest, not to a specific time of day that usage is lower. If you look at the historical stats, 1am to 4am has typically had the lowest input of renewable sources...

Some dealers are seriously limited for charging capacity. I can see why many are going out 90-95% - it was fully charged for pdi but has then been shuffled around/Road tested and not back on a charger for top-off

I don't have this issue, but if this is actually the answer its a game changer. So many people won't risk pressing 'factory reset' to resolve issues as it forces you to Fahrenheit.

Intelli octopus does the 6 hour off-peak and potential charging outside of those hours cheap at Octos behest. So I can see anything new would still include some off peak cheaper rates to encourage load shift. Its also a shame that off-peak is also the dirtiest production, so not really the...

A Plan insure several of my vehicles and I had no issues getting quotes for the LR exclusive when it first launched in 21. Equally after just 2 days of ownership they replaced my broken windscreen by VIN without so much as a grumble.

12,300 miles since March, maybe done 8-9 hours charging at home ?. And it's all from surplus solar, so really is the dream.

I totally rinsed 22% doing 35 miles burning my arse off (literally, damn heated seats are too good in suit trousers), charging at work is free, so no bad consequences beyond poor habit forming.

The EU models have differing specs.

My chargedEv installer didn't hook up my charger properly, I isolated and popped the front off, essentially you'll have 3 wires and a pair from a CT clamp. Should he as simple as swapping the box over.. However, to get the smart capabilities working it will likely require an approved installer...

You need one smart function only. Either use the in car smartness to take a charge when it wants one, and set the rolec to dumb, or set the car to dumb and use the rolec smart. Otherwise its like chaining timer sockets together, both have to align to on at the same time to have power.
