Just a heads up. Using a Granny Charger with Charge Anytime is NOT Supported. While it may work, you’ll struggle to get a full charge or reach targets because the system expects your EV to get a full speed charge at the fastest rate possible.
Granny Chargers are incapable of doing that. Please consider getting a dedicated EV Charger that’s compatible with Charge Anytime (if you don’t have a compatible EV via D2V) to get the most out of it.

Thanks , I'm just waiting for a proper charger to be installed . Good to know it should work in the interim.
Hi
It seems our forum volunteer has already given some good advice here.
This link might also be helpful if you have any further questions:
So quick update, thanks for your replies. It does work on the granny charger looks like it should work for anybody as long as their car can be connected to the app . Which mine does . However as others have said it's quite slow but it's fast enough to replenish my daily commute @60 miles with an over night charge . Proper charger going in today . Thanks all.
