Morning all .

 

Apologies for a bit of a long winded description of an Enyaq charging issue....

 

I charge my Enyaq at home. I do have the Skoda app installed and communicating with the car but my charging is 'controlled' by our energy supplier app, OVO. This app tries to charge the car with 'greener' electric when it is cheaper/cleaner during the night.

 

Recently, 3 times in last few weeks. I have cgeythe charging (whilst up for a wee !!) and the charge light has been pulsing between red and green instead of pulsing green.

 

The charge rate was 1kwh instead of the standard 7kwh. Literally unlocking the car, unplugging/replugging the cable resolves the issue with normal charging resumed.

 

Anybody have/had similar?? Any ideas please??

 

TIA for any assistance.

It sounds as if your energy provider is throttling-back your charging rate at some point (load clipping), then failing to restore normal charge rate after event.

What time of night has this been happening?

Ask Ovo reason why this might be occurring - and if your charging protocol can be changed.  

never had this but I am with Octopus, sorry

Thanks, will ask....was more worried if it was a problem with the car.

 

Has your charger firmware been updated recently? My Wallbox charger does similar when on a delayed charge, sometimes the car gets a charge error instead of being told to wait by the charger. I've concluded its to do with the the way the 'random wait' mandated by the government is implemented on my charger, sometimes giving an error. Like you replugging solves it or I have found pausing the charger via the Wallbox app then starting again also fixes it.
