Interesting
I’ve only picked up my car last night, and haven’t charged it yet as the dealership charged it to 100%

Am I the only one that was planning to use my energy providers app to control when to the draw the power? Rather than the wallbox? On the car I’ve just set that maximum charge should be 80%

Energy provider: Octopus Energy
Wallbox: Andersen A3

What does everyone else do?
Hi, I use the charger scheduler and my Macan has issues with its own….. throws a yellow high voltage system fault. Unresolved by Porsch in now a year.


if you are with Octapus and use one of the smart EV tariffs it will be the scheduler on the Octapus app that you need to use, not the car or charger…… that way you get the lowest cost for a kWh

Ahhh sorry to hear that
Thanks for clarifying that I’m doing the right thing with my particular set up
