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 charged during the day, and occasionally overnight to balance charge. I believe that the charger itself is capable of timed charging via the app, and I have just received information from my electricity supplier about their special lower cost overnight tariff. I have not bothered exploring such options before because I have not had a suitable smartphone, but also because I believe that the original spec MG5 does not work with a timed charger. I don't know where I read this , but is it correct? If it is possible to use a timed 4 hour (or so) overnight charge on a cheaper rate that would be worth exploring.
Can anyone shed any light on this please? I would be most grateful.
Many thanks
