public chargers

Hi. Not sure if it is something I am doing or if it's a vehicle fault. I have a brand new MG5 Trophy and I cannot get the car to charge using public chargers. I have tried numerous chargers when I plug in the charger I get the two blue lights but the car cannot seem to link to the charger. Only...

I am not sure if this has already been posted but it does get my goat when I want to charge my car and have to pay parking fees because the stupid charger is in a car park. If an ICE car had to pay to refuel there would be up-roar so why are we having to put up with this. To that end should...

When using a public charge point with a phone app, make sure you activate the one you are at and not another charger 100mtr away in another charge station 🤣😅😁 Driving from South Yorkshire to Northumberland and stopped at a public EV charging station but the app map confused it with the one in a...

Just thinking about how much our holiday fuel cost. 1000 mile trip. £80 worth of public charger network ( mostly Tesla member rates) = 8p / mile ?? Seems reasonable. To be fair I'd charged to 100% on solar before leaving and upon return, so freebies and paid £9 Tesla monthly subscription, but...

Since buying my MG4 XPower in September 23, I have only ever charged it at home in the garage on the "granny" charger (most journeys are local so a 20-80% charge overnight has been sufficient). When I charge overnight in the garage the car is obviously locked. Now, planning to go away, I will...

Sorry for the question if its a bit stupid, im planning a fairly long journey, can i use all public chargers with my MG along my journey even Tesla?

I am completely at a loss over how to balance the battery on my 2023 MG ZS EV Long Range Trophy. I live in an area where there is no way to charge from home - just no access to run charger lead to car. I trend to rapid charge once a week And use a slower 7/22 kW public charger to try to...

I wrote to my MP re the lack of lighting and shelter at some public charge points. It was quite a challenge in the pouring rain one early evening last December. The black cables are a real trip hazard. His reply from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero describes the new standard, PAS...

I'm using public chargers as I don't have a wall charger and I've noticed the cheapest in br4 has gone to 66p/kWh and that's with electric universe can anyone recommend a good subscription based or free company to go with so BP pulse for the 50kwh is working out cheaper at 63p. Cheers in advance

I'm currently trying to decide on whether and what home charger to go for. I think it is probably worth the cost for the convenience it should give me in the winter, despite the 3-5 years payback period. I currently use granny/solar for most of my charging, in 2 months my 1800+ miles has cost...

Just spent the last hour reading the draft legislation laid before the House of Commons and the House of Lords on 11 July 2023. Oh what a charmed life I lead. The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 It's all good news however and within one year of the act coming into force we should see:- 99%...

Thought I would try the new Gridserve Hub at Wetherby Services on a recent trip. Sadly, the 350kW chargers there would not work for me and failed with an error message that the car had stopped communications or something similar. I then plugged into the original Gridserve 50kW chargers at the...

Ive just watched BBC's Panorama about EV's, for once, it was an almost balanced view presented. All the usual garbage was in there about how expensive it can be to charge and when they mentioned home charging he reported about £20 to fully charge which is a bit out, £5 being nearer the mark...

or more specifically close to Snozone. I thought I'd try one of my longer 'normal' trips yesterday and have a couple of hours on the slopes. It's around 180 mile round trip, although the 'electric' route is around 160. I arrived a bit early so I decided to hunt out some public chargers, the...

Hi, first foreign trip coming up In gen 2 trophy any experience of using public chargers please, what cards? Cost? Any other helpful advice thanks

I'm on my first long run in over a year (Doncaster to Tenby) and am having problems at public chargers. I charge once or twice a week at my home PodPoint charger with no problems. I've now been on the road since 05:00 and it's 11:33 and I've tried two different public chargers ( BP Pulse and...

Hello community, first time post here and first time trying to charge my 2022 ZSEV. I am surprised I can't find a How To Guide or video to show me steps to fast charge. All videos I see are the older MG versions. Owner manual says car needs to be off, but touchscreen shows I need the car to...

Anyone else find the MG5 slow to initiate a charge session? What ever the time limit on the app is the car always seems to go right up to the limit before the session actually starts - sometimes its 1.5 minutes. Is there anything I can do to get this going a bit quicker? Edit: The most common...

Having recently needed to await the availability of a public charging point, it struck me that a simple 'electronic registration on arrival and notification of availability when your turn occurs ' would be most useful. My experience was fine as the chap ahead of me came and gave me the heads up...

All of us, whether we use them or not will have seen public chargers positioned in some really stupid places! No doubt you will have your own examples to show to the group but the one at Morrisons in Newark is an ideal candidate to start the thread off. Morrisons Supermarket has both an upper...
