Charge Anytime on VW iD3 ver3:0 with a non smart charger


Has anyone managed to get an iD3 ver 3:0 to charge on a non smart meter. My car doesn't want to do the handshake to start the charge at anytime. If you have how did you set it up?

Thanks for replying. My understanding is that you need either a smart meter that is listed or a listed EV.

You need either an EV Charger that is listed or an EV that is listed. 

In both cases you need a smart meter.

Perhaps you are confusing smart meter with EV Charger?

Are you using the OVO Charge Anytime app on your phone to setup the charge?

It works I now have charge anytime working perfectly on my Rolec non smart charger and my iD3 with version 3.0 software. You just have to make sure that you have no locations or times set up in the we connect id app or car. Also make sure your charger is providing 32 amps from the initiation of the charge. Leave all the smart stuff to the charge anytime app and Bob’s yer uncle!

And that’s exactly why Granny Chargers don’t work. :)
