Possible to avoid the "minimum charge" setting?

What time of the day was it? With timers the car will charge at the most efficient grid time and when rates are lower/lowest.

Not quite right for US owners. You need both an active timer and an active profile. The car will charge to the applied profile minimum then stop until the preferred charging time in the profile begins. Charging will then continue until the target SOC in the applied timer is reached, even if that means past the end of the preferred charging hours. In other words, the target SOC takes priority over the end of the preferred charging hours.

Non-US buyers with a Porsche Home Energy Manager have more options though - the Home Energy Manager has more control over the charging process.

It was outside of my preferred time, but remember the profile was off so it has no idea. Only the timer was set.

raise the minimum to 80% then the car will charge until it hits 80%. the nomenclature is backwards, minimum is really maximum

Understood. I keep it at 25% because I want it to charge the least outside of preferred times. I’d set it to 5% if it would let me.

isn't that a job for the timers?
