Thank you! Today i had a different issue, I plugged it and it started charging and did not stop... even it is scheduled! I keep having the departure time and the charging time frame, but it was charging immediately... why?? Any hint of what to do when this happens? On top of waking up at 3AM to plug it...

Just wait a minute, if you've got the car to use a future time window it will stop.

Yep, it always takes a minute or so... but yesterday it did not stop after more than 5 minutes (confirmed on the charger and consumption reading at home). At that moment I unplugged it. I finally had it running fine after several "immediate to scheduled" on the car and the same at Connected app

Ah, mine doesn't do that. But there are still enough times when I think I've set it to charge "overnight" and for some reason it still starts. It's all half baked at best...

Hi. Trying to decide if I should "invest" in a wall charger at home. In Australia there is no gov help. From what I've seen it's around AU$1000 for the unit and between $500 to $800 for installation.

So I'm hoping someone here can say they've just used the granny cable as the main source of charging and it should be fine long-term from a safety view?

I’ve used the granny cable every night since I got the car 2 months ago. No problems.
