Delayed Charging Timer

ye and that's right, as the entire philosophy behind a scheduled departure is such that when you are ready to drive to your work as an example, then your batteries are warmed and at their most optimal condition for your trip. Driving when they are cold degrades performance. My Tesla has a scheduled departure too. In contrast, when "off-peak is configured", the Skoda shouldn't back calculate the start time from the finish time. It should just kick in exactly when you ask it, and then continue charging for the entire period or stop charging early if the battery reaches the predefined level you've set.

I am not always at my GF's, but if it was my car, this is how I would test it. Clearly requires the car to be driven a lot to deplete the battery in-between tests too.

Test 1 Day 1 - schedule a 4 hour off peak window at 1PM, [8PM-12AM], check for success.
Test 2 Day 2 - schedule a 4 hour off peak window at 1PM [9PM-1AM], check for success.
Test 3 Day 3 - schedule a 4 hour off peak window at 1PM [10PM-2AM], check for success.
Test 4 Day 4 - schedule a 4 hour off peak window at 1PM [10PM-3AM], check for success.

and so on. My hypothesis is that only test 1 will succeed as the other 3 span 2 calendar days. I think this is where the bug lies. i.e. the schedule only works providing its commences, and possibly even completes on the same day. is anyone able to try this?

Tesla narrative below for info.

"It is normal to see increased energy consumption during colder months. To maximise range and efficiency in the cold, take extra steps to keep your battery warm and conserve energy.

Scheduled Departure
To precondition your car around your schedule, set your next departure time using the 'Scheduled Departure' feature on your touchscreen. Tap the Climate Controls settings screen > turn on Preconditioning in settings > select ‘Schedule’ to set a daily time when you want to be ready to drive.

You can conserve significant energy on the road by using Scheduled Departure while plugged in. Once your specified time is set, your car prepares itself by determining the best time to start charging and preconditioning."

Do people get the same problem if using a timed charger, such as the Ohme charging cable as well? I've already got one of those for use with my other car (a Renault Zoe), so if that works as it should on the Enyaq, then I'm not even going to bother trying the delayed charging.

Mind you, I'm usually still up at 0030 anyway for the Octopus Go rates, so my worst case scenario is just having to pop outside to plug in.

The ohme cable should work fine

Are these issues all stemming from using the skoda in built charge scheduling ??

Has anyone tried using the home charger to schedule charge Zappi/PodPoimt/BP Pulse etc. Excuses me if already been tried but 17 pages is alot to read.

Issues mainly concern Enyaq scheduled charge especially with 7kW chargers. Someone reported a 3kW charger functioning with the Enyaq schedule.
Some report non Enyaq scheduled charge working others not. Many did not mention charger brand.
My dumb Schneider works fine with a optional deferred charged input connected to a rail mounted digital timeswitch (I could also have used the off-peak connection from the meter.)

I was going to say something very similar. My dealership has an 11kW charger and has no issues and I’ve been able to use the vehicle scheduler on a 3kW but on my own charge master and Pod Point chargers it simply doesn’t work. But the Pod Point app allows me to schedule charges and when it’s done that way, 7kW = 7kW on schedule.

So if you set a schedule in the car it doesn't appear to pull the full 7kW charge at the schedule duration no matter how its being charged ?

If you use the home charger schedule function all works fine at 7kW ?

If so that a very strange issue to have I would honestly think it would be the opposite way round

Exactly that. 7kW only when using the Pod Point scheduler and the locations on the car removed. Using the Skoda scheduler it pulls 1.5-3.5kW depending on which way the wind is blowing.

Plus if no schedule set, charging is at full 7K, also if Location has activation ticks removed. I have left location defined as it is possible I may need to activate reduced charge to avoid exceeding my 12 kW limit in winter with the heat pump (Max 6kw, depending on temperature)

Definitely seem like a bug in the Skoda scheduling software does the ID range have a similar issue ?

What does the "location" function do ?
