Charging at preferred times
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2022 8:51 pm
Hi all
Just getting used to the car and enjoying it a lot. One thing that is vexing me currently is how to use the charging timers. I can’t find the answer to this in the manual and so wondering if anyone here can help please.
I have an octopus go cheap night time tariff so trying to set the car the charge in the discount window. I have this working as a routine tagged to my home location and that seems fine. The issue I am encountering is that every day it defaults back to charging instantly on plugging in rather than respecting the timer.
I’m not sure if this is because the home profile still has two options ( charge now or charge at preferred time) and it’s set to default to charge now. Am I missing an option to specific the default position? I can obviously change it manually each time in the car or the app but that’s a pain.
I know I could use timers on the wall box but for various reasons I want to keep the wall box as an always on dumb timer and use the timers in the car.
Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks.
