Congratulations on your new MG 4 X power, ![]() ![]() I know what you mean about the changing overnight cheap tariffs with some chargers & providers, They seem to keep moving the goalposts on that one. I would have a search on the MGEVs MG 4 forums to see what electricity suppliers others are going for. I shall be looking into other tariffs for mine shortly. Yeah the car going back to the default setting every time you switch off is a pain for sure. I read there are software updates for MG's to make the charging handshake between car & the Tesla supercharger network more reliable. https://www.mgevs.com/forums/mg4-ev-forum.38/ It seems Ad Hoc what software updates the dealerships do, For instance my ZS EV hasn't had any software updates whatsoever in over three years I've had it ![]() I'm not particularly bothered as the car has been faultless.

I'll be doing some swotting up today on how to schedule a charge on this OHME Pro, They have some handy 'How to' vids on there which will save me some head scratching ![]()

![]() I'm liking the functions on this OHME Pro 7kW charger. You can change or alter the charging schedule at any time from the OHME mobile phone App & tell it to charge the car to 100%.
I did this the other evening when my sister rang to say there's been a cancellation at the knee & hip hospital & they wanted her to come straight in the following morning. The App screen turns from blue to red when you tell the charger to charge the car to 100% ASAP. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I got an email from our DNO yesterday saying they need to do some remedial work to the cut out / main fuse they fitted over three years ago,to be upgraded so that it is suitable for the installation of Low Carbon Technology.
![]() They're coming next Tuesday to upgrade it free of charge.

![]() The MG ZS EV Excite has gone
![]() ![]() ![]() It's capable of V2L which will be able to run the small heater, heat mats & grow lights in my greenhouse then I can charge the car overnight on cheap rate tariff of 9p.kWh. My missus always missed the heated seats & 360 ° camera angles/reversing camera we didn't have on the Gen l Excite model. First snowfoam wash today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I've got the ismart app paired up with my smartphone OK, but I don't like the white background app & what about the option of the colour of your car.
![]() The OBD ll reader I had for the Gen 1 ZS EV won't work with this Gen ll trophy model, neither will the other Nexus OBD ll reader either ![]() I need to read the settings manual before I go for another. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
