Hi All,
I’ve just moved onto an Octopus EV charging tariff (Go Faster 02:30 - 06:30) to take advantage of cheap rates for charging overnight to fit my schedule.
I have a Wallbox Pulsar Plus charger and I’ve set up a schedule on the Wallbox app for the cheap charging window overnight, however so far the car hasn’t charged once during the schedule. The schedule is definitely saved in the Wallbox app and the blue light on the charger blinks when connected to the car to show that it’s waiting for the schedule to start, so that looks good.
Things I’ve tried/checked so far:
I’m now thinking that it might be worth setting a charging schedule on the car’s infotainment system to match the schedule of the charger. Maybe this would get my car to look for a charger at 02:30 when the Wallbox is starting to provide power?
Has anyone else had a similar problem with their PHEV? I’m keen to see if anyone has any ideas/spots anything obvious that I’ve missed.
Thanks all.

Things I’ve tried/checked so far:
- Verified that the charger isn’t locked and that the auto lock function isn’t enabled
- Verified that there are no charging settings/schedules set in the car’s onboard settings that could conflict with the charger’s schedule
- Restarted the charger from the app
- Reinstalled the Wallbox app and re-paired the Bluetooth connection to the charger
- Run a test schedule starting in the next 5 mins to verify the charger is working properly, charging started as expected
