Charging outside of preferred times?

[Getorix]

Morning everyone! Had my Enyaq a month and it’s been pretty great so far. Have used this forum a bunch of times for tips!

I’ve had a random issue crop up recently. I charge at home with a Zappi, and the schedule is done from the Enyaq.
I have some cheap rates of electricity that I want it to charge in, 22:00-00:00, 04:00-07:00 and 13:00-16:00. It’s works absolutely fine until just recently, when it frequently charges past the 00:00, to say 01:30. It’s beginning the charge at the correct time, say 22:00, but not deactivating.
I think the issue started when I once deactivated preferred times to just get a charge going, but have since switched back to preferred.

Any thoughts on what is occurring?

Is your charger connected to your electricity supplier? For example my charger (Ohme) is connected to octopus energy and will charge during off peak hours. Although this is typically between 11 and 5, it does sometimes charge before and after but I have only been charged for the off peak tariff.

If yours is connected to your supplier, maybe it's doing this intelligently, i.e. you might still only being charged off peak.

Thanks for the reply and question! Nope it is not. I’m running a heat pump as well which is what the cheap tariff is for.

It’s never a fixed amount of time, and not every time but maybe 3 times in the last 2 weeks it’s been 30-90mins beyond the preferred time.

On this, I disabled and enabled everything again from scratch car side. This seems to have fixed this, and I’m getting consistent charge during preferred hours.
I wonder if there was a Skoda Connect issue…but I don’t know if the car gets these charge/don’t charge commands from the server or car

Good to hear it looks like it's fixed. Mine still charges random times but so far only getting charged at off peak amount.

@dtwatcher: if your on intelligent octopus it can often charge outside of the usual cheap times, thats normal.

Turns out I was optimistic! It charged for over an hour outside the preferred times today, basically til it was full

I’ve been getting the 12v warning come up a bit, I thought mostly due to the cold weather but I wonder if it’s linked.

It’s strange, because it happily starts charging in preferred hours. It just doesn’t stop!
It’s not connected to any service other than its own charging times.
