Car always starts charging immediately despite scheduled charging (car settings)

Yes, completely agree. The planned departure thing is silly. They should just provide scheduled charging and that would be way easier to understand and manage.e

With my previous M3 I used the planned departure so that alongside the battery being at the requested level, the battery temperature would also be raised so that it could accept a recharge. I don't know if the Macan does that.

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?

You can just tap “Direct charging” and it will override your settings and allow you to charge right away. When completed, you should make sure Direct charging is then turned off so that your schedule takes precedent again.

Thank you for this info.

Maybe I already mentioned this, or someone else, it works for me and it starts immediately, to figure out the charging power and then after a while it goes to pauze and then resumes to finish just before departure time …
