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.

    Gridserve Rapid Charging Issue

    I am now 22 months in to MG5EV ownership (standard range) and I have just come across a weird problem. On a recent trip to Scotland (motorway up and down) I had to use the blooming gridserve facilities (always a heart rending experience at 60+p per kWh). I encountered a consistent problem with...

    Charging issue with PodPoint 50kW

    So I visited a Lidl the other day that has a paid PodPoint rapid charger. I followed the instructions correctly but it popped up saying there was an issue communicating with the vehicle. PodPoint support blamed it on the issue some MG owners had previously encountered with their cars being...

    Charging Issue

    Hi We have an MG ZS and have installed a podpoint 7kw home charger. All seemed to be going on but now when we connect the charger either wont charge or stops after a short time. Its not consistent though sometimes it charges for a bit longer. I've switched the charger off an left in for a few...

    Odd charging issue

    Evening, kind of pushed my luck tonight... well sort of! Left home at about 50% and did a 90 mile round trip - got down to about 9% when I got to the Gridserve on the services. Not a drop of volts left it, just said "connected, not charging" in the car. The rapid unit said something about...

    Charging issue

    I took delivery of my new ZS EV only yesterday. I had a Wallbox fitted about a month ago but it hasn't been used excepting for once last weekend when we charged my sons Tesla for about an hour. So after running the car down to about 40% it was time to charge it. The halo on the wallbox was...

    Granny charging issue!

    Hi, I am having issues with my granny charger and am wondering if anyone had a suggestion please. The MG ZS does begin to charge through the granny charger, however, after about 5-10 minutes it cuts out and stops. Is this a known issue? Have I been given a faulty charger? if I lock/unlock the...

    MG ZS EV Charging issue

    My 3 week old MG ZS EV has been fine until the weekend. For the first time the remaining charge dropped to 10% and we got the charge warning as you would expect. Previously I have plugged into the charger no problem, next morning fully charged. But now it starts charging and drops out again...

    Pod Point Charging Issue

    There is probably something I'm missing but at the risk of looking stupid Ill ask. I used a Pod Point at the local CO OP for the first time today prior to a weekend away thought Id do a dummy run. All went well plugged in and APP enabled the free charge and the charge started. When I'd finished...

    Charging issue!

    Trying to charge my vehicle yesterday and today and when the car is locked and says charging maybe 30 seconds later the alarm goes off (continuous beep), tried unplugging and trying again multiple times and I can't get it to lock/charge without it beeping. All doors are locked and secure so it's...
