Model Year 24/25 2024 Cupra Formentor Charging issues/electrical gremlins

[FormentorDaz]

Having owned the car now circa 6 months i suspect my hassle free motoring with the car may be coming to an end

around 1 month ago my electrical issues started with the sunroof refusing to close- regreased the runner and this resolved the issue (bouncing back when almost closed)
the most recent bug bare is charging, i use workplace chargers (project EV 7.3kw) when i plug it in all is well but the estimated completion time is no where near the estimations provided online (currently 9hrs from 40% ) and when i toggle the 'reduce the charge current' setting in my app this then knocks the charging off and gives me a no power supply in app message

any input would be appreciated because outwith the above i actually enjoy the car

Regarding the sunroof I have seen a couple of videos on Youtube (both Australian) where they mention issues with the sunroof, so may be worth having a look on there if the issue comes back.


We had a V2 204bhp for 4 months and when charging at home (3 pin which I think is around 2 to 3kw) from close to 0% to 80% was taking around 8hrs. I used a Gridserve Fast Charger a couple of times and this was 45min from 0% to 80%. I didn’t use the App I’m afraid so cant comment on that.

the estimations provided online (currently 9hrs from 40% )

I've seen this kind of estimation in some cases when the the charger was unable to provide the required power. I'm assuming (from your profle picture) you have the facelift version, which would mean that from 40% to 100% you have about 12 kWh capacity to fill, in 9h that would be ~1.5 kW supplied from the charging station. You can see that directly in the App -> Battery and Charge -> Battery management -> scroll down under the percentage bar, it shows you the charging power - that's to clarify the long charge time.

when i toggle the 'reduce the charge current' setting in my app this then knocks the charging off and gives me a no power supply in app message

That might infer that the charger is Off, assuming that the App works correctly - which it does most of the time. Why don't you try to do all those crosschecks from the car directly? You could see directly what's going on with the charger.

@Rob66 Ill give those videos a look one of the joys of the Scottish weather is that it wont be used often
@CupForm ill give the app a look and check the Kw, when ive previously toggled the switch to increase the charging current it has decreased charging time but now it just states no power supply, i have to toggle the option to on and re plug which wasnt the case before

thanks for the input though guys
