Needs the update. Contact your dealer.

Forgot to mention that the US CCS1 standard is virtually the same as CCS2 apart from the plug so they were not starting from scratch and they could issue charger and car updates OTA and in many cases owners were not aware of any issues. Before you say that's what MG need... Tesla started in the...

Yep... Tesla are a software company not a car manufacturer. It just so happened the software is delivered in the shape of a car! Their engineering is quite astounding not totally 100% perfect but light years ahead of the rest! Oh and the ability to get information from both car and charger...

Ok but the adapter was to allow plug compatibility esentially and was a magic dock. This got incorporated into the cars but was a payable upgrade for non ccs cars. Something that European owners had to pay for. Tesla do not have a CCS only implentation. They support a super set with extras...

That was another problem they had. They also reported not recognised cars and disconnects i.e similar compatibility issues that MG and others had. The slow charging issue and it has a big effect on 800V platforms is that the Tesla DC converter starts to generate big voltage ripples and this...

I don't know about paying for a fix but the disconnecting fix seems to have come out around the same time as MG. In the US as late as January 2024 you had to buy an adapter to use the Superchargers which cost about twice as much as the MG software update... There is another problem that has...

Not true. Kia and Hyundai certainly had supercharger problems if you look on their forums with the same symptoms and time scales as well.

Time to agree to disagree I think.

I'm not and I have been left stranded etc (not in the MG) and yes I know what the experience can be like. And I agree it is traumatic. It is not fun as you say and I would not wish it on my worst enemy - well maybe some! I also know how complex sorting out charger problems can be - I have...

EV charging is actually pretty good: home charging works extremely well especially if the system is simple. AC Destination charging works as the interoperability issues and there were some major ones have been addressed and CCS generally works. Yes there are horror stories that need to be...

My apologies for any misunderstanding and it was not intentional. The bit I posted in italics was an email from a Tesla forum and nothing else but to show that the Tesla CCS compatibility was a big problem in the US. The point I was trying to make was that while the Superchargers had a CCS...

eZS is an android app unfortunately. The date format is YYMMDD.

Like this... https://www.intertek.com/batteries/automotive-battery-ev-testing/evse/ They are certification is a loose sense in that they will test the car/charger and say we have certified that it works. There are other companies that do the similar work. Is their certification the same as...

Good points. The reasons why Tesla opened their network are the incentive from the US government of reportedly 7.5 billion$ to do so and Tesla's push to have their version of the CCS standards and their network adopted as the next North American standard - called NACS. Tesla got this because...

Fine don't buy it but the evidence does not seem to agree with you. I would be interested if you have any info on why Tesla are unapproachable and MG are the villains. CCS has plenty of holes which can lead to issues and difficulties. I have a 124 page document that describes CCS compatibility...

Yes but it actually takes all the decisions. Nothing is delegated. The CCS comms use the AC comms lines as well as powerline comms over the same lines. The BMS simply reports the battery cell status and it is the EVCC that talks to the EVSE, the AC charger and everything else including the...

Pebblefine, Verdigris When you get the upgrade please let me know y/n on the success and the EVCC build number and date and then I can update that list for the benefit of others. If you have the eZS app and an OBD2 dongle, you can get the EVCC software revision numbers. If they are in the green...

You might want to correct this as it is the EVCC that controls the charging process but requires information from the BMS. It has not failed to operate, it is working and it is communicating with the EVSE. However it fails to charge successfully. You then have to prove it is a defect that MG...

Yes they did. Or to be more accurate a CCS Type 2 plug made an appearance. They certainly added a CCS connector but it isn't clear if they actually used the CCS standard to implement the comms. The circuit diagrams for the cars at the time show some pretty weird goings on in the charger...

Actually we don't know that. The situation is not as straightforward. Mgs worked when Tesla first opened the superchargers despite the fact that when they were designed/built, Tesla was not open and didn't even support CCS. Non Tesla manufacturers did not even consider them. When Tesla opened...
