MG Charger Hacking

[Jack Bauer]

Ok, MG on board chargers. So far I have looked at two models that as far as I know are from 2019 and 2022 model year ZS vehicles. Both are capable of 6.6kw. The Gen1 as I'm calling it is a charger only and uses very simple CAN commands as detailed on the Github repo :

The Gen2 has a 6.6kw charger, 2kw DCDC converter and 3.6kw V2L capability. A 3 phase and sinlge phase version of the latter is available. As far as I kn ow Gen1 is single phase only.

Aim of the game will be to add these to Zombieverter VCU in the future. I have a Gen2 installed in the Red Arrow (E36) so this will probably be the first put through its paces.

Have one of the single phase MG chargers in my Saxo project (ZS10BC6600A).

Have done some testing with integration with Zombie. Did this the lazy way by changing the existing files for the outlander charger.

Also changed and improved the DBC file. The MG_VZ charger.txt is the DBC just change the .txt to .dbc

outlanderCharger files are the file I mangled to control the MG ZS charger. Use at your own risk
