home charging

[mel]

Any on know why on my MG ZS EV TROPHY on my home charger it cuts off at 80% church

Do you have an 80% charge limit set on the vehicle? Check the charging settings on the car.

I may have but don’t know how to disable that. Manuel not give instruction. Thanks

Wow. Didn’t see that. That’s what I need to know. Thanks my friend

No problem.
I would leave it at 80% for normal daily charging/use and only increase to 100% for a charge before a long journey.
Charging to 100% every day will increase battery degradation.

Ok thanks for advice. Makes sense. I will just charg up to 100% this time to make sure new charger performs. Thanks for advice

While your there. Don’t suppose you know why when I put sat nave on and drive if it stays stationary. Dosnt move as I drive ?

Is that only available in connect variant or all new MG ZS models have it?

Just the long range ones

Sorry no idea on that as I’m still waiting for my ZS to be delivered

Thanks not sure why tho it's useful regardless of the range

It has to do with the battery chemistry, I can't remember which way round it is, but the LR batteries don't like sitting at 100% charge whereas the type of batteries in the SR are not affected in the same way.

The SR cars have a different battery tech that allows them to be regularly charged to 100% with no real degradation

Battery of sort range ones can be charged to 100% all the time no problems

Que ?

SR are LFP battery chemistry which are not known to degrade a lot when compared to NMC chemistry of LR and so you can never set custom SOC levels for SR cars in the iSmart app and the entertainment console of the car. It will always be set to 100%. Where as you can set custom SOC on LR. It is advisible to charge to 80% for normal commutes and only 100% for a long trip on LRs to help keep the batteries in a good state over time.
