Can You Turn The Charge Port Light Off?

[CarbonEV]

Just wondering if you can turn off the Cars Charge Port Lights?

ATM it’s charging and they’re just super bright screen out in the darkness.

Minor observation but is it possible?

Lastly,

When the cars fully charged but wire stays plugged in,

Will the 4 Green Lights that show it’s fully charged remain on until the cable is taken out?

You could pull the fuse for the charge port lights, that would work without impacting charging...

And where / which one is that please?

I would do it if it’s easy to do ?

Then you might not do it, it's in the fusebox below the steering wheel innside the dash. It's crap to get to. ?

Why do you want to get rid of it anyway? It indicates by quarters how much charge there is and what is happening. Green is charging, bright blue is charging complete with the cable locked and light blue is cable unlocked.

Every time I charge (it's mainly at home overnight) I cover the charging port with a shopping bag. Partly for light and partly to stop the rain getting to the electrics.

hopefully some company will come up with snazzy design.

I’ve always thought the design of the charging port was pretty decent for keeping the rain out - has a little drain hole too. Have had the car charging unprotected in crazy rain with no issues for over a year. Famous last words though and all that.

The lights go out when ithas reached its charge point and balanced.

The charge port is safe in the rain without a cover, the design of the cable and socket was developed (not by MG) to prevent any issues. There are various videos showing a whole load of water being thrown over the cable when charging without issue, personally I have plugged in the cable and charged many times when it's been raining heavily.

I did notice this, so that was a bonus.
