I have used the cars charger Scheduler and calendar to charge my Zoe ZE40 using off-peak electricity for some time without any problem. However , for a few weeks I have found that the charger will start at the correct time but fails to stop at the set time and continues on charging until it is 100% This is very frustrating. and of course is not good for the battery. Has anyone else had this problem and found a fix or got any ideas on how to solve the problem please

Hi I have a a Zoe 52 kw and have experienced problems. I have trialed my timer on my evec home charger against the car header. I can report 100% success since I did the test and proved which is the most reliable of the two methods. I leave the car header set as instant charge (not scheduled). I set the Evec wall charger to come on at 12.01 am and just set the time in hours for it to go off. Works every time.
The home charger as an app so works via wi-fi. The car app on the phone uses your net work to a mast, back to the car, then if accepted, back to the mast and back to your phone. Hence home wi-fi is better.
I tried setting the header unit in the car for timed, that was also hit and miss. Simple is best.
