Scheduled charging without departure time
Hi,
I'm receiving my 330e in February (too long wait!) but i'm already reading all manuals. I understand reading the manual that in order to have a defined charging time (to benefit from the lowest tariffs) you must set a departure time. Is that the case? Can't I simply setup an initial charging time? I leave at different times almost every day and i simply want my 330e to charge at the cheapest time slot. Thanks! |

Thank you tricky6 and Jkwon! So my understanding with the owner manual was that you must set a departure time. Is there any issue if you do not leave at the departure time? Does it really charge at the defined window no matter of the departure time set?

Anyone have an idea how long the “Climatise now” function on the Connected Drive App works for when car has charger cable attached?
The last couple of zero C mornings I’ve just warmed the car up for about 15 mins without timer before setting off. Curious to know if it auto turns off after a given time. Can’t find any info. |

My understanding of the charging is that you must set a departing time so that the charging doesn't start too early wasting battery.
Imagine you want to leave at 1pm and your charging period is from 1am to 7 am, then the car calculates that for the KW/H that you need for a full charge its ok to start charging at 4 am until 7 am, instead of starting at 1 am and finishing at 4 am. This avoids charging too early and wasting battery while standing by. What in my car I can't make work its the Charging power in AMPs. No matter what AMPs I choose, it always charge at 16AMPs. I want to charge at 10 AMPs to save the battery and not to rise the electricity bill by paying more KW. Does anyone knows how to limit the charging power ok? thanks |

You can only change the AMP load using the 3-pin charger, I think. To cope with power supplies that can't handle a high load. If you've got a dedicated charger it just uses all the power. |

I understand that what ipoipo needs is to charge it with less power (at 10A not at 16A). Your maximum power is 16A*230/230V, which gives you those 3.7kwh but if you want to charge at 10A*230V you will be getting 2.3kwh, so you need 4 hours to fully charge your battery instead of 3 but you do not require more power contracted.
