since going to economy seven it seems that the dishwasher and washing machine sets off the car alarm (2021 leon estate),reset the car alarm and it carries on charging, i am using the supplied 13amp skt charger this must have happened other owners ? there must be a dip in voltage or waveform that disrupts the car charger !!
any fixes, you cannot otherwise see the dip.
 
Realistically, the granny charger is for occasional charging only and shouldn't be used as your main source of charging.

You ideally need a suitable AC wall charger.

Then if the problem persists, it's your household electrical infrastructure.

i appreciate that it is occasional, i didn't have the problem when appliances ran during the day and the charger after midnight ..never.
 
Can you plug the charger into a socket that is on a different circuit breaker to the kitchen, e.g. upstairs or garage. Note that if you are using a long extension on a reel it must be fully unwound for use at max current.
Can you run the dishwasher and washing machines at different times to each other?
Can you get a suppressor fitted to your consumer unit.
