podpoint

I have been charging my MG 4 for 6 months without a problem with my Podpoint charger which is 7kW charger, but when I view the charging rate it shows only 5.5 kW. Is this correct.

I've recently got an MG4 SE LR and had a Podpoint charger installed at home last week. All lights were showing as ready to charge (flashing blue/pink) but when i plug the car in, it goes yellow, as in ready to charge, but when i go on the Podpoint app and tell it to start charging, it changes to...

I was surprised to see this little creature on my bonnet at the end of my top up charge/shopping after about a 100 mile drive. How did he get up there? I was trying to save electricity but not going that slow back down the A1M :) Anyone else pick up a little buddy?

Went to try my first public charging session today, was expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. 50kW PodPoint charger at the local Lidl. Get out the car Plug in the CCS charge cable Press the start button on the PodPoint app Car was at 73% and I charged it to 80% No battery pre heat...

Got a TrophyLR23 in early August and Podpoint installed days later. After initial 'getting to know the process' the scheduling process worked reasonably well but has been playing up in the last week or so. First the PodPoint is set to work between 0100hr and 0600hr - when the cheap rate is...

Can not charge on timed sequence overnight. Podpoint so unhelpful, will not speak on phone all communication by email which takes days for a reply. Snail mail years ago was quicker. The scheduled charging will not work. Tried everything but to now avail. Very frustrating after a big initial cost.

Hi All I suspect that this enquiry has already been answered somewhere, but I am blowed if I can find the answer! I have a 21-plate MG5 SR and a PodPoint Solo home charger. Until very recently I have not had a suitable mobile phone on which to run the PodPoint app, so I have until now just...

Up to now I have been doing all my charging at home. But we are soon to go on a longer journey and so I have downloaded the Zapmap app and linked it to my bank card. I will do a practice charge first. But I don't want to end up making a fool of myself. The local supermarket has a number of...

Hello all i have a Mk 1 20 plate ZS EV which over the past 3 years has been fine. I’m a low-usage user so don’t need to charge that often and have never needed a CCS charge. My problem is that I use a free charge PodPoint charging point at my Local Sainsbury superstore. I always only charge to...

Hi all I want to upgrade my Podpoint dumb charger for a Zappi charger. Has anyone got experience of this and if so is it something I can or should easily do myself? All the wiring and fusing is obviously in place and it would be a 7kw for 7kw charger. Thanks

For those who aren’t aware, PodPoint outlets at Tesco stores are now charging 44p/kW ?? 44p from 28p is a hell of a jump & I haven’t seen any news about the increase, just noticed after I charged while shopping yesterday ???‍♂️

Charging yesterday in a car-park, Came back to the car after some-time (Probably 1-2hrs) and grabbed something from the car at that point everything was ok. Came back again later to find the lights off on that side of the podpoint post and the car had stopped charging. The app still thinks the...

Looking for some recommendations/advice on a home charger. I'm previously a leaf owner and have a 3kw podpoint solo 2 tethered (type 1 connector) When I bought my MG5 (pre facelift) last year I bought an adapter which had worked fine until now. We've also bought a Zoe so have been thinking...

if you have a podpoint attached to your house, a MG ZS ev and powerline adapters ( things plugged in to extend your network that use the earth of your house), chances are your podpoint will drop out with a flashing green light after a few minutes for some reason the mg zs/podpoint combo does...

My old school (big round) podpoint hasn’t been connected to the wifi for a few years, I was happy keeping it dumb as the timer in my Leaf was so reliable. Unfortunately the timer in the 4 is flaky and I want to connect the podpoint to the wifi again so I can set the schedule there instead. It’s...

I was doing some research prior to a trip to Dorset and noticed on the Podpoint App that the price for 50kw CCS at Lidl Portland is now 40p instead of 28p. See attached screenshot below Although it does suggest you can get 28p still on Fridays...? Can anyone verify this? Our nearest paid...

Hi All, Have been having issues with delayed charging not working on my podpoint with my ZSEV LR. Sometimes it charges overnight, sometimes it doesn’t. Podpoint say it’s not an issue with the unit - latterly I leave the car on timed charge and the unit is flashing green as I think is meant to...

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...

Hi, nice to be part of this forum. We have quite a few queries regarding our MG5 LR use and issues. One first one is as I have seen similar recently, but with a "twist". At 2 weeks and 250 miles on the clock, at our local Tesco checked how to use the PodPoint. Worked ok, charged for 1/2 an hour...

Does the latest Podpoint solo untethered units work with ZS EVs now for the timed 4 hour nightly charge? (Octopus Go) I know the early cars didn’t wake up to charge. Has that been fixed ok with software now? My ZS EV I’m buying has all the updates. (V excited) Simon,
