As above, ours went over 3kW without an issue, theoretically 3.75kW? It was switching to ~5kW that tripped it. Given the strange way (frigging resistor value) you can alter the max kW it seems the MG4 has a strange way of checking the load and applying its max load? Suggest try your 3kW...

Had a MY2023 MG4 for just over a week - bought partly for the V2L capabilities. >What happens (if you know) if it's over 2.3kw? Just wimps out? Big blue flash? Got a £15 V2L adapter which is fitted with a 2K resistor. Ran some tests with some 2.5kW heaters I had that run on full or half power...

Try the Hugo, Loop or similar apps which tap into the Smart meter readings seemingly independent of your "electricity supplier" - but maybe only with more modern smart meters? The (free) Hugo app is the one I tend to use - eOn Next rarely record our Smart Meter readings, claim they are having...

eOn Next recently offered us (which we took) 6.9p/kWh (inc VAT) on 'Next Drive v3' from midnight to 7am 9 i.e. 7 hours as above, else 30.46p. SC is the Govt Cap for your area (49.92p for us - East). I've not explored the others in detail, but a mate has said Octopus sound good, but can be...

Manual Link It did not give a specific recommendation - however, from other manuals I used a 40A Type B MCB. The MCB however is largely to protect the wiring rather than device, and I've used 6mm2 cable. I have not (yet) added a dedicated RCD, however, that part of the building circuitry is...

For better or worse ;) I bought one of these for our 1 week old MG4 via eBay link - described as: iON Tech 7kW 32A EV Charger 5 Meter Tethered Type 2 Level 2, 5x Cards+ Wi-Fi APP As with a lot of 'cheap' (and I assume Chinese) equipment, likely good hardware is let down by (very) poor manuals...

It would be really useful if each reference to updated App gave whether Android or iOS, and version ;) I downloaded iOS v2.0.4 as a new MG4 owner last week, and getting to grips with it today. Interested to see it says "latest version" when I tried to update in the App, but above refers to...

> Why not export the surplus instead Involves paying ludicrous sums for kit and installation via MCS scheme :confused: Ours is all DIY and some panels from eBay... In USA/Canada have a more sensible system, where electrical work only needs normal electrician, and anything you export is just...

Thanks both... as related here, software version updates seem difficult to get installed, relying on the MG 'mothership' to approve. Will be interested to see when the late May 2024 delivery was actually built, and what software it has... Read the range thread (all of it!) and seems we'll win...

I've been following this forum for a few months, and 90% likely to be taking delivery of a new MG4 SE SR by the end of the month :) We've had a 2014 Nissan Leaf for a couple of years, and not in the UK for the winter, so the MG4 is a progression from a "local" runabout to covering 99% of our...
