CCS Charging in Europe PFL SR

[Dark Star]

I'd be interested to read how other people have gotten on with CCS Charging in Europe in a non updated pre-facelift MG5.

I've tried a couple so far, the Super U CCS chargers and the cheapo IECharge network without any success in getting them to connect or charge.

I'm guessing it's down to the same issue that prevents us oldie MG5 from using the Tesla network.

If anyone can suggest a CCS network in France and Belgium that will work with a non-updated MG5 I'd really appreciate hearing from you!

Hi, what networks have you used that work fine?
The Electroverse app covers a number of networks that should work fine in Europe.

Charging across Europe

In August I drove my EV to Portugal and thought I'd share what I learnt. Portugal In Portugal there is a law that mandates that ALL public chargers must allow any approved App/RFID to operate them, so all chargers basically work on just one app / RFID card. When I went to sign up I found that...

Appreciate the answers however I'm well sorted with electroverse and chargemap card, that's not been the issue.

The question was about what chargers the PFL MG5 with the old hardware would connect to and work.

The two networks I've tried so far, Super U and IECharge do not appear to have chargers that are compatible with old CCS standard that the MG5 uses.

I was hoping someone who had more success Charging on CCS would be able to tell what chargers they had used.

I shall have to do some more investigations.

I now have a facelift model, but last year was in France with the earlier SR. I used a number of different chargers without difficulty, including the IE charging network and Ionity

If you read my travel blog quoted by Gomez, you will find many answers!

Not tried any Super U CCS chargers or the IECharge network, but sometimes it's about technique rather than just CCS compatibility.

I deny emphatically that this is me.
