Porsche makes this needlessly complex!I have a cheaper night time tariff from 12.30am -430am and would like to only charge in these times.
I had a similar goal for an overnight charging window.
Here is what to do, put simply:
Profiles:
- Delete all but the general charging profile
- Set the minimum charge to 25%
- Set to "preferred charging period" and set your window of 12:30AM -> 4:30AM
- Create one timer, 4:30 AM
- Repeat for all days
- Ensure charging is on, and set the slider to your desired daily charge level (85% is recommended, avoid charging to 100% unless you're on a trip to increase battery longevity.)
Any time you plug in, if your car is < 25% it will immediately charge to that level regardless of time. That is the defined behavior of "minimum charge" on the profile and cannot be set lower.
Note: the charging may begin earlier than 12:30AM if your battery is low enough; it will optimize for meeting your daily charge level at the departure time over saving money in the charging window.
