Make sure that the dealer specifically says the EVCC (Tesla) update has been done. MG consider the car to be fully up to date even if this fix hasn't been applied.
I'd consider getting a Type 2 cable. I've only used mine a few times (mainly at hotels) but each time I was very glad to have it...
Hi, great choice of car and it looks like you have done your homework.
I am not sure if the FL needs the cable tie fitted to the rear washer pipe in the driver's pillar but worth checking.
...of sale.
Accessories – Ensure the granny charger cable is included. Don’t see any reason to ask for a type 2 cable, as I`ll be getting a wallbox installed at home for charging which will include a type 2 cable and connector.
Can anyone with some first hand experience please pull this...
I did that last saturday. I went to 1.5% SOC and then charged at 6.5kW. The Wallbox said i charged 53.08 kWh. Assuming a 8% losses and the initial 1.5% SOC, a full charged battery is 49.57kWh, a 97.6% from the original 50.8kWh.
The car is almost two years old and 38,000 km.
...V60 PHEV company car on order (that was eventually cancelled by Volvo - COVID parts shortages) that came with a free EVSE - the supplier was way behind schedule so Volvo offered a £500 contribution instead.
My Wallbox Pulsar Plus was £940 installed, so I made £160 profit on the transaction. :)
...charging, hence the advice 'always be charging'. Many solar owners simply leave their cars plugged in during the day, 80% max if nesesary. Wallbox Pulsar Max here, works well.
Re. 'the effect of on/off on the car's electronics' is usually taken care of by small amounts of grid draw to...
The money was not really the issue. My car charges at 10.2 kW according to the wallbox and gives a temperature reading (of what I'm not sure). What it does not say is how long it's running for, but gives an input reading of kWh, which differs for different conditions. When cold it takes longer...
...you are sent a weekly email containing a pdf with a charging graph and costs. I'm not sure if it can be configured however for more than one ev. The drawback to this is that it costs as much as a typical 7kW wallbox installation, while not for all due to the cost it will work for some like...
...at something less than 16.0 A per phase AC-in, so depending on your mains voltage, you may only be drawing 10.0-10.5 kW from the wall.
The Wallbox and the car are both trying to be careful not to exceed the 16 A current limit, so they will be erring on the low power side.
There will be some...
My Wallbox Pulsar Plus is in my garage, as that is where I park my car. In addition, this is where my power comes in, so the cable run is very short. I have always garaged my cars, and never considered that it might be unsafe. Something else to worry about now ☹️
If you have both apps (iSmart and one for your EVSE) you can monitor ongoing charge rate and compare ... in my case iSmart will typically show 6.4-6.5kW into the battery, and the Wallbox app will typically show 7.2kW being delivered, so 700-800W in losses or 89-90% efficiency.
