Ta.

Was that on any charger or specifically a home charger?

I don't know. The story went that the home charger doesn't work when the public chargers do, so I doubt it's a case of trying this and trying that, IF the story is related to cold weather. The most plausible explanation is @gary333 in comment number 15.

It was the "but considerably higher up" that bothered me. Obligatory "I know my place" sketch" :) ( For those outwith the UK, see here: Class sketch - Wikipedia )

Ta. The story was that the charge stopped. and that public slow chargers worked, so it's unlikely to be that scenario.

Oh, your edit is absolutely a possibility. Will ask when next we see the one person who may have leccy heating.

If - if - there is any truth to the stories, it makes me wonder what could be at fault. The only thing I can think of is something like condensation in the charger unit, ie. a poor quality unit. But it sounds like misinformation.

Thanks, yes. These stories allegedly were home chargers. It just doesn't seem likely.

Many thanks all for the contributions. I will try to feed this back to the folk here allegedly having issues, as there must be something else going on.

Thanks. Have you heard of any such issues?

Thanks. I've no idea what the units are. It feels like nonsense. The one person claimed that the car charged fine at the slow public chargers (the chargers are slow, not the public...) when the home charger would not function.

We don't have a home charger, so have no experience of this. But two folk locally have claimed that when the weather is cold (it rarely gets very cold here on North West Scotland, but lets say less than -2 or -3°C) their home chargers refuse to charge their cars. One has a Citroen van and...

That's reassuring, thanks. Suits me to put it down to a singular event. Maybe Christmas just isn't Goth Leo's time of the year. I wonder if anyone else has experience this.

Had a strange one with Leo the Goth MG4 today, and I thought I'd share the experience here in case the MG4 hive mind has any ideas. From the beginning: We were going into the village. I climbed in, and all the usual lights came on, and I put my foot on the brake. I tried putting Leo into...

As I recall, I simply said that the change was merely a receptacle, and neither structural nor required any alterations to the car. The insurance company at the time seemed unfussed. I think I was ready with frunk,.at's marketing bumph, but it wasn't required

Thanks. I'll check the cables tomorrow, but I'm guessing, partly because the issue seems intermittent, and partly because continuity checks aren't representative of current flow, that it'll be hard to diagnose. No matter, I have a way forward. The last 3 charges, all of well over an hour, have...

:) Cheers. I'll look in the morning. I'm just relieved it doesn't look to be the car.

Er, I think I follow that! :) It's not an MG-supplied cable as at the time they would only provide 7kW cables, and as the car could handle 11kW 3-phase, we bought an aftermarket one. Do you have any idea which phase (ie, which 'ole?) is used when the 3-phase cable is used on a single phase...

Thanks for those ideas. The problem is, as described originally, the 3-phase cable works perfectly on a 3-phase pillar, and it seems somewhat unpredictable (charging starts, but then stops a few minutes later). It's just on single-phase pillars we have had the problem. I'm not sure how to check...

Right, to update those who have been helping me get to the bottom of this issue, today I used a borrowed single-phase cable and charged on a Chargeplace Scotland pillar. Unlike the initial experiences, at 4 (or maybe 5) different pillars at 2 locations, when our normal 3-phase simply would...
