Macan 4 EV - Octopus intelligent sync issue

[Yves]

Well out of our 3 EV’s the Macan seems to go in fault mode when charging is started / stopped based on what the charging station decides, like to much load on the house, solar panels not giving enough or cheap hours … The iX and the ID3 restart reliable every time …
It seems to be better now, but it is always a gamble, and if I really need a charge, I just set everything off and select the charging power and leave off all the smart managing. Maybe the Porsche logic is you are allowed x number of stop/restart‘s during one physical connection kind of a protection against error’s, so they implemented a counter. This is just me second guessing, but curious if others have experienced this as well.

If it helps, I get a fault on the car (Red everywhere) and message from the App when I plug the car in and the charger is set for 'scheduled charge', it then might result in 'Vehicle Not Plugged in' message on the app. However, once the charger switches on at the scheduled time, the car bursts into life!

Once it is charging, normally within 5-10 mins, Octopus takes over and suspends the charge if it has a better schedule in mind.
