Tried to charge the car on two rapid chargers today near to home. Neither would charge the car so now I'm 100% sure the issue is with the car. I suspect this issue has been introduced when the car was updated to software version R59. It's going to a dealer on Monday to be looked at.

Now I'm home I can try tomorrow without the stress there has been today.

Hi all, well that was a nightmare journey. Called AA to recover us home but after an hour they refused to do so as I told them there was no issues charging the car on a 7kW charger at home. They concluded the car could be charged even at a slow speed so would not recover us (super helpful AA...

Charge level is 14% Both chargepoint type have same issue so it must be the car that is the issue. The charge points both say trying to communicate with the car and in both cases retry 2 or three times

Thanks but i was careful to ensure the CCS plug was fully home and tried holding in place. So dont think it was that.

Hi all, we are driving from London to Lincoln and need to charge but it's not working. Have tried to charge at two completly seperate changing locations with different charging companies. Tried two separate bays at each location. Tried different authentication cards. Tried leaving the car locked...

Here you go using V2L to supply an entire house.

Using V2L to supply an entire house.

Hi Staffex, I laughed out loud when I read your post as its exactly the solution I have planned, even to the point of the same isolation transformer. I have not had much time recently so not got very far. I did speak to Carroll & Meynell and they concider the concept would work. The Screwfix...

Only Chademo unfortunately.

Hi Mg4forluxury Regardless if you are powering the whole house or part of the house the earthing arrangement in the Uk (I assume Netherlands is similar) would not be adaquate. The problem is the car provides 220v but its a "floating" supply. This means its not referenced to earth and Neutal in...

Interesting thread and something I have been working on with my MG4. So this is what I have found so far hope it helps someone:- a) when connecting the V2L connector (home made one) and selecting discharging in the car I get 226v between live and neutral. b) measuring L to E voltage I get 186v...

Yes sorry corrected Hi Coulomb the output is almost certainly an inverter but it provides a centre tapped output “like a centre tapped transformer” the mid point is where the earth is connected. i came to the conclusion (rightly or wrongly) the V2L output is similar to a small inverter that...

Hmmm not good news I’ll do some testing to see if I can figure out when the issues happen.

It is set to 24 hours unless im looking in the wrong place?

Hi All I have seen some very strange scheduled charging behaviour in my Trophy. I use Octopus Go tariff and charge the car from 00:30 to 04:30 and set the car to these times. Normally speaking this works fine however, occasionally the car will charge at different times without any reason to do...

Was told something similar only a few days ago, but a few days later it’s arrived. seems like we are playing Port dispatch lottery.

Just had an email car has arrived at dealer, can pick up from Tue onwards :)

Chased my White Trophy today That I was supposed to pick up Saturday just gone. Still at port apparently. They were able to give me the VIN number so I can just assume I have to be patient and one day it will arrive. Difficult when I will have to get my son to drive me 150 miles to pick it up...
