Overview
If you're experiencing unexpected charging behavior, such as your EV not charging immediately after being plugged in, it might be due to an active charging schedule set within your vehicle. This article will guide you through identifying and resolving this issue.
Symptoms
- Delayed Charging Start: Your vehicle is plugged in but does not begin charging until much later, potentially hours after connection.
- Short Charging Session: The vehicle only charges for a brief period, not delivering the full charge you expected.
Cause
The most likely cause is an active charging schedule configured in your vehicle’s settings. This feature allows the vehicle to start charging at a specific time, usually to take advantage of lower electricity rates or to align with other preferences.
Steps to Resolve
-
Verify the Vehicle’s Charging Schedule:
- Access the charging settings in your vehicle to check if a schedule is active.
- Confirm whether the schedule matches your intended charging time.
-
Adjust or Disable the Schedule:
- If you prefer your vehicle to charge immediately after being plugged in, disable the charging schedule.
- Alternatively, adjust the schedule to a time that better fits your needs.
-
Check for Utility Load Control Events:
- If your charger is part of a load control program, this could also impact charging times. Verify if any utility load control events coincide with your charging schedule.
