It will be interesting how Tariff Information Labels | EDF develops with EDF - in recent weeks its been between free overnight to 17.86p on 21/10/25 overnight.
Thats how ours works, 95% of the time you just plug in and it starts immediately, and the house and EV is charged at the 7p rate - we dont touch any of the settings and let octopus decide when it wants to charge.
... maybe I've missed something here, but these are 10A 3-pin plug chargers🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ - great for occasional use, but one does need a more permament solution, which also gives access to overnight cheap rates.
.. I think the conclusion is get an MG EVSE charger for occasional use / away from home, but get a wall box charger compatible with energy companies (e.g. Octopus & Ohme or Zappi) to get the low cost charging around 7p / Kwh or 2-3p / mile
LFP SE - Sept 22 model - from car scanner (but verified at service each year via UKMG) - no issues todate (aside from minor reduction in power @ <20% SOC at 70mph+)
... at this rate, the MG4 might see me out 🤣 🤣 🤣
I've got the t-shirt - melted 13A fuse / plug using a small extension lead (all within code, CE UK approved)

Just be careful out there.
...to be honest I was looking for a rake in the garage to clear leaves and found the stuff, did the other side first which was worse (and couldnt believe it), so grabed the camera! - cant believe how well it turned out in 2 mins 😁
Not really, its not something I've heard of, sounds like a defective product during manufacture rather than a faulty charger, it just happens sometimes.
I have 2 cars, a fast n slow charge - on my Ohme fast I can delete, but not on the other.... not sure how to help further - having said this, I select the correct car / profile at the top under charging
... no worries, must be youth v old age , as dont see much difference between the SE & Trophy, just liked the LFP chemistry on the SE (battery longevity???) as we do around 15k miles a year
