Is there any way of telling the car to automatically stop charging once the battery has reached 80% ? (Sorry if this question has been asked else where - if it has I haven’t been able to find the thread 🤔). Most current EV’s can do this , but I know the Zoe is a 12 year old design and now out of production. I feel it is unlikely that Renault will add any extra capabilities via software and so hope that it can be done already !! Here’s hoping 👍

Stopping short of 100% is a personal choice but I think this gives the battery the best chance of a longer life. I use Ovo as Electricity supplier and their App lets me choose how full I want the battery and the time I need it to be charged by. They achieve this by remotely monitoring charge progress and switching between instant charge when they want charging to start and scheduled charge (with far off times) when they want it to stop. If you are prepared to calculate roughly how long it will take to get to your preferred charge level, you can work this yourself by setting a calculated time window for the charge i.e. 4 hrs at 7kw will give you ~28kw which would take you from 26% charged to 80% approx.
