Schedule charging - help !

[Inspectorclueso]

Just 6 weeks into Model 3 ownership (2024 model) and I've now moved to an EV tariff which is cheap between 00.30 and 05.30.

Home charger - Wallbox Max.

I tried last night to schedule charging for the first time, but I couldn't get it to work, wondered if I am missing something. Here's what is happening...

Firstly, I'm assuming I should only need to schedule on the Wallbox app and do nothing on the Tesla App.

When I usually charge manually, I just do it from the Wall box app, and the car accepts charge.

I am seeing that there is a schedule function on the tesla app, but I'm assuming that this doesn't talk to the Wall box charger. Last night I tried a number of test scenarios, i.e. just setting on Wallbox - didn't kick in. Then just setting on Tesla app, again didn't kick in. Then setting a corresponding schedule on both app, didn't kick in, but surely you shouldn't have to do this anyway.

Keen to sort this so I can benefit from the cheap rate, it's been a seamless transition up to now !

Could be worth asking on Reddit

Which tariff is it?

With Octopus its all done on their side. So disable the scheduling on the car and/or charger

Might be worth trying to schedule it from your Tesla, I have used the app for my Ohme charger and it worked fine but a lot of people just set it up from the car itself.

I have a first gen 'dumb' Tesla charger, which has no app and is always on. I just schedule charging from the car (or the Tesla app for the car), which never fails.

I’ve just installed a ‘dumb’ charger with the plan to plug in when I get home and the charge will be scheduled in the Tesla. (Not yet bought Tesla so cannot confirm).
That’s with BG’s EV tariff
