I had a Hypervolt Pro 3 Charger installed on Thursday, today is the first time i have charged other than a quick test to ensure working. I am rather dissapointed i thought it would be a little faster and its not much faster than the 3 pin plug method.  3 pin plug is taking 10A and the Hypervolt Pro 3 can take 32A. Am i doing something wrong or have I wasted a lot of money for no real gain?

Howdy ​@DFC202 ,

That almost certainly sounds like either an intentional restriction was applied by the installer, or something isn’t set up properly.

Either way, I’d suggest talking to your installer - they can help with this.

I think I’ve sorted it the car was set to charge at 9A on a granny garter, so I’ve changed this to 32A.. next charge will tell.

Yes, I charged last night, put it on at 20.30 had it set in OVO charge app to complete by 5.00 and it start straight away. Som glad got that sorted i was beginning to worry.

Question, if i plug in anytime OVO will decide when it will charge, so it may stop and start depending on grid consumption? is that correct?

That's what I see. If I use the car in the morning and know that I won't need it any more that day, I plug it in and sometimes see a short charge during the afternoon. As long as it is ready when I need it, who cares?

@DFC202 I’m happy to hear it’s all working as it should be now 🎉.

 

In answer to your question, charging pauses and resumes whilst the car is plugged in. With Charge Anytime,  your car will only charge during the optimal windows when there’s less demand on the grid.

 

We’ve put all the FAQs for Charge Anytime in this topic, which might be of help to you:
