Should DC Charge stop at Limit set in Car ?
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2022 6:44 pm
Hi All,
My car has been back to dealer today for a small snag fix..
When I collected the car, the dealer had it plugged into some kind of rapid CCS DC charger, and it was charged to 100%.
However, the car is set to charge to 80% as per the recommendation of the very same dealer, but it clearly didn't stop charging at 80%.
I am interested if the CSS DC Rapid and the more conventional 7KW charger I have at home have different charger settings within the car ?
As it was at 100%, and I only live 2 miles from the dealer, there was me on way home from the dealer going long way round and round in circles, trying to use up battery..
I do not need the car until Monday and I hear it is bad to leave at 100% for more than a few hours..
I got it down to 88% before I gave up and went home, so hoping this is OK to stand until Monday, even though it is currently charged to greater than 80% ?
In the month that I have owned the car, this is my first experience of Rapid charging, so me thinks I still have plenty to learn
