charging issue

Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging or cordless charging) is a type of wireless power transfer. It uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. Inductive charging is also used in vehicles, power tools, electric toothbrushes, and medical devices. The portable equipment can be placed near a charging station or inductive pad without needing to be precisely aligned or make electrical contact with a dock or plug.
Inductive charging is named so because it transfers energy through inductive coupling. First, alternating current passes through an induction coil in the charging station or pad. The moving electric charge creates a magnetic field, which fluctuates in strength because the electric current's amplitude is fluctuating. This changing magnetic field creates an alternating electric current in the portable device's induction coil, which in turn passes through a rectifier to convert it to direct current. Finally, the direct current charges a battery or provides operating power.Greater distances between sender and receiver coils can be achieved when the inductive charging system uses resonant inductive coupling, where a capacitor is added to each induction coil to create two LC circuits with a specific resonance frequency. The frequency of the alternating current is matched with the resonance frequency, and the frequency is chosen depending on the distance desired for peak efficiency. Recent improvements to this resonant system include using a movable transmission coil (i.e., mounted on an elevating platform or arm) and the use of other materials for the receiver coil such as silver-plated copper or sometimes aluminum to minimize weight and decrease resistance due to the skin effect.

    Issue with AC charging/New CCU fitted (Phase One SE LR)

    Edit: Originally, I thought I had an issue with my Zappi not being able to charge the car, but after testing other AC charging points (cutting out after fifteen minutes or less) and contacting the dealer, I eventually found out it was an issue with the car, namely the charge control unit, which...

    MG4 Charging slowly

    Hi, Started to charge this morning with my Zappi from 38% to 90%. Started charge at 10.30 and at 12:30 it had only done 9% of charge (now at 47%). Dashboard says "charging slowly" yet my Zappi is charging at the 7.1 kWh it should be as per normal. Anyone any idea why it's taking longer than...

    Slow charging but not really?

    Hi All, Took delivery of a new MG ZS Trophy LR this week. Charging it for the first time tonight at home, and the car says it's charging at 16A and is predicting a charge finish time far longer than I'd expect. When I look at my in-home smart meter display, I can see the house is drawing 7.7kW...

    The missing... [ No AC charging ]

    Having read Fiver’s recent thoughts on owning an MG5 LR, it reminded me of the enthusiasm and enjoyment of my first few months of driving my 2021 MG5 LR during the summer of 2022. Sadly, that experience has been not so much dulled as erased by the events of the last year which has seen MG and...

    Intelligent Octopus Charging Issue

    Peeps, A lot of this might just be coincidence but pretty much every weekend if I put the car on to charge it will not complete the charge and instead I’ll end up with something like 10-20% added instead of the 40 or 50% that I’m wanting to add via my Ohme charger?? I don’t have this issue...

    Stupid car only charges when it feel like it

    Often when I plug in the charger the light remains blue when it’s suppose to turn green. When it happens I have also tested with the granny charger, but no luck, so it can’t be the charger. Sometimes the car will take charge if i turn in on, put it in drive, then shut it off again. But this is...

    Charging issue??

    Last week I noticed for some reason that it didn’t matter what I set charging to on the Ohme the car was stopping at 80%?!? For some reason charging is stopping at 80%, which is what comes up as normal on the MG app? Amy ideas what I’ve done for the car to stop charging at 80% instead of what...

    I have used my granny charger for my PHEV almost every night for around two years. Last week it failed to charge (as indicated in the dashboard), although the LEDs on the charger itself were normal (remember, I’ve been using it for two years with no problems), and the car will take a charge from...
