Having 1st issues with charging after 6 weeks...it's all a bit weird this one, so any answers/guidance would be appreciated?
Normal practice is off peak charging with pre-condition + departure time which varies when I need to charge at home but normally between 7.30 - 8.30 depending on the day.
I get home tonight and have run more or less flat (GOM says 4 miles, Trip is 80m so pretty chuffed with that in not the warmest of few days). So plug in, set off peak charge (00.30am to 6.00am) and departure for 8am.
Now I've read when battery is v.low it will kick in and charge straight away (up to 20%?)...but when I checked Connected Drive it shows charging is active with 40% SOC and 25 miles range. I try to reset from PC & App by playing with departure time/re-engaging off peak charge but nothing happens and still is active charge.
Go down to Car and have play, even switch on/off EVSE but still active charge and is ignoring off peak/departure time.
This is where it gets weird...
A) Blue charge light is not flashing, just permanently on as per 'timer' charging
B) As with immediate charge you get the 'line' going up and down the battery bars..but it's not
C) I have a look at my elec meter to see usage...but nothing is being drawn. Shows as 275.8 KWH and I have checked it over last 10 mins and still showing 275.8 whilst App/Connected Drive shows active charging and my SOC/GOM ever increasing....(now showing 63%/41m)
Am I missing something or is the car having a funny turn?
