I've just taken delivery of a CT4, after driving a Taycan 4S for 12 month but I traded that back in July as I got a good offer given the supply issues. I'm trying to get to grips with charging again as I didn't ever figure out the best approach first time around. I know this has been discussed before but I wanted to get a view from people with the latest software.
Basically, I have cheap electricity (Octopus Go), circa 5p per kwh from 00:30 to 04:30. I don't use the car daily so don't need it at a specifc charge level each day. I just want to leave it plugged in to get 28kWs each night at the cheap rate. Even if it's at 5%, I want it to wait until 00:30 and just charge for 4 hours.
Option 1 : I have an Andersen chrage and can programme it to switch on at 00:30 and off at 04:30. With no charging profiles set the car will take a charge for 4 hours but it then gets a charging error and won't charge the next night. You need to unplug and plug in each day. Same happened with the 4S.
Option 2: Setup a charging profile and switch off the Andersen schedule but AFAIK when I tried this with the 4S, if it was below 25%, it would start charging immediately.
Anyone managed to crack this ?
