OVO Charge Anytime keeps setting my Max charge to 50%


Forum|alt.badge.img

OVO Charge Anytime keeps setting my Max charge to 50%, overriding the 80% I set manually.

How can I stop it doing this ?

It’s really inconvenient being able to use only half the battery.

My set up is Mercedes 250+ with ease EV charger

Hi ​@Steve birkbeck ,

This is intended and expected behaviour because you have a Mercedes. MercedesMe doesn’t offer a proper way to control charging, so this workaround is the best OVO can do to make it work at all at this time.

When charging is active, the limit will increase to your preferred level - so you will get a full charge if that’s what you want.

Hi ​@Steve birkbeck,

 

A warm welcome to the OVO Forum, thank you for your post. I can see ​@Blastoise186 has replied helpfully to you, and I just wanted to share a previous forum topic with you as you might find some of the information helpful:

 

 

Cheers!

Thanks for this, Blastoise186

And also to  Ben_OVO  for looping me into the previous forum topic : I still have the 50% Max charge problem, so will share my info on that topic.

Very helpful

Where can I see the log of when each charge happened, with amount and cost ? I would like to compare Charge Anytime with what I used to do before i.e. simply use the easee schedule to start charging at midnight.

It’ll all be in the Charge Anytime app IIRC

Thanks - what is “IIRC” and where can I find that in the Charge Anytime app ?

I don’t have the app myself so you may need to look around a bit - but I know some of the data eventually hits MyOVO where you can also get to it.

IIRC = If I Recall/Remember Correctly
