Thank you Timps, Chrisfromuk and runningonsolar for taking the time to reply. I think I might stick to choking car on cheap rate overnight and selling my excess back to the grid.xx
I’m confused. I have a lovely Macan EV which I am loving driving. I have solar panels and the UK has been experiencing fantastic sunny weather and my panels are drinking it all in! I have not as yet charged the Macan from my solar system. My late husband had a Hyundai ev and when he charged from...
I previously had a Hyundai ev. Podpoint charger was set to work during cheap rate times. it was perfect, no problems. But the Macan is just so complicated. Also once I have set up timed charging in the car at night, do I have to cancel those timings if I want to charge during the day?
I had the Porsche technician come to my home. We cancelled the cheap rate timings on my Podpoint, then set timings up in the car to charge from .30am to 5.30am with a departure time of 6am. The car seems to have a mind of its own. It started charging before .30am(around 22.15pm). The car seems...
Hi, I’m in the uk. I kept my three pin lead from my previous car, a Hyundai. I have used with the Macan to charge from my solar panels and batteries. It works but it is very slow! But then it’s power for free so I’m not complaining.
Hi David, I have a pod point wall charger which used to be set to Smart with timings set from .30am to 5.30 am. Turns out the Macan did not like being told what to do. Technician came out, no computer with him. He put the timings into the car for my cheap rate And set the Podpoint to manual...
I had a Porsche technician come out and set the car to start charging at .30am to 5.30am but he set a departure time of 9.00am and the car carried on charging past 5.30am. The technician told me to change the departure time to 5.30am. Which I thought I did. Now when I have just tried to plug in...
I’ve discovered that if I don’t set a departure time in the car it continues to charge after my cheap night rate ends. So first night I charged at home I set a departure time of 9am. Where I should have set it at 5.30am which is when my cheap rate ends.
Thank you for your suggestion. Not being Very savvy on this car, I lovely young man came out from the dealership. He has cancelled the timings on my Podpoint charger and set the timings into the car instead. Which is what you suggestedđź‘Źđź‘Ź. It is all plugged in waiting for just free ,midnight to...
I’ve had a nice young man come out from the dealership this afternoon. He has cancelled the timed overnight charging on my Podpoint and set the timings 8ht o the car instead. It’s all plugged in ready to charge at after midnight. We wait and see if this solves the problem. I tried to charge last...
Yes I have a three pin plug cable. i will think about using that BUT I should not have to. If Porsche had to,d me in the first place that my charger was not compatible I could have had a new charger installed months ago. I’ve had the car on order since March!
