Hi. Have just swapped an Octavia PHEV for a Superb. The option to set departure times in infotainment and the app seem to be missing, how do I set it to charge at off peak rates?

Thanks

As far as I know, you can't do that from the MyŠkoda app, unfortunately

It seems that you're right, and no option in the car either. Strange decision.

It's not ideal like with the regular EV's from Skoda but I have a wall charger that can be told to charge off-peak or only-charge up until x kW (for matching solar input) and the car happily waits for a charge start.

Taking it even further I can over that wall charger from my home automation to make sure it's a peak (100%) charge when my wife needs it to get to work. (100+ km roundtrip)

My specific charger is a Zaptec Go 2 and I use Home Assistant but other combinations have been reported to achieve similar results.

I did not know the difference in Skoda app capabilities compared to their EV's but have never felt I missed out on anything.

I've decided to invest in a proper wall charger. The three pin was ok with the Octavia iv I px'd for the Superb (had a timer and a slow charging battery small enough to charge on off peak).

Anyway, what a car! A bigger step up from the Octavia than I expected.
