Direct charging button just overrides your charging profile. So on direct you’ll charge to 100%. Basically your last night on holiday you would hit that button for the road trip back home.Commando socket now fitted at my holiday home (1ph [blue] and linked with the Connect lead and module it’s giving me the 7kw 32amp supply just fine) on a par with my home charger solution which is a Wallbox Pulsar Plus with tethered lead. Pretty happy that occasional use of this remote from home set up will give me ample range and zero anxiety.. it’s pretty neat in terms of positioning and cheap install (£250 parts and Labour plus got my distribution board overhauled and wiring tidied up)
* one point I struggle with is to remember to set the car to direct charging as I don’t quite understand the “Charging Profile” option (I must learn how to use this properly) *
Thanks ...80-85% charge and 200/210 miles range is perfect for me ... it’s the use of charging profiles that I want to get to understand better .... for a moment I though “minimum charge” was the ability to charge UP to that minimum but alas not ...Direct charging button just overrides your charging profile.

Weird that your profile min charge is not working. Maybe a timed charge setup? If so delete it and just use the profile chargeThanks ...80-85% charge and 200/210 miles range is perfect for me ... it’s the use of charging profiles that I want to get to understand better .... for a moment I though “minimum charge” was the ability to charge UP to that minimum but alas not ...
Thanks for your reply - is a longish way around - but you are right almost certainly cheaper than tunnelling.Hi Bonglim
If you are willing to pay, I guess anything is possible, but can’t imagine it would be a standard process. Would probably be easier to run around the edge of your drive somehow?
We have HS2 4 miles down the road spending £bns on a white elephant project, and they have some crazy tunnelling gear!
I think it is totally down to personal taste. I am unlikely to need any alternative connection for at least the next 4 years and the look of the Andersen charger is more important.Quick question please: is it better to get a universal charger and then add a cable or buy a unit with a tethered cable? Thanks
go for tethered as its less hassle.Quick question please: is it better to get a universal charger and then add a cable or buy a unit with a tethered cable? Thanks
