I have had a 2020 Superb iV for a year, which has been charged via the granny charger and a 20amp capacity timer socket which I had installed in our front porch. But I have just noticed an instruction in the handbook saying that a timer socket should not be used. The charger is rated for a 13amp mains and with my car set for reduced charge supply (about 7amp?) what is wrong with using a timer socket with a 20amp switching capacity? Using a timer allows me to benefit from the cheap night time rate of Octopus GO, whilst limiting the maximum charge capacity of the battery in order to extend battery life.

Thanks for the info, ApertureS, Sounds like an attempt at little less road noise.

Earlier this year I bought a 2020 Superb iV SEL hatch back. The local Skoda branch gave me a list of PR numbers which detailed the spec of my particular car. This included the item 3W6 (additional interior noise suppression). Does anyone know where this additional material was applied? Would have been an added option? Would it have been added to the SEL and upwards cars? or was it added only for the iV spec? Any suggestions?
