@Davterry - not on this tariff but interested.

One of the requirements I've seen is that "location services" need to be enabled on the car.

This is a big longshot and could be totally irrelevant, but one generic issue that can happen with apps trying to connect to devices using Bluetooth LowEnergy is connection fails if location services are not on.

I doubt that this is the connection method being used (presumably it's over 4G using the car's in built SIM), however the resultant connection failure could be for a similar reason.

I'm sure somebody else solved their connection problem when they found the required option in the "settings" screen in their car.

Hi @Davterry I'm wondering if this is the same problem. Have a look at this thread:

Evening @Davterry 👋

How are you?

Welcome to our Eon Next Community 😊

May I ask if the Next Connect App is now working for you?

@Davterry did you ever find a solution?

I have the same problem trying to register my 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron 40. I get a whirly wheel at step 2 and don’t even get as far as the ‘this is embarrassing’ message.

Update:

These are the things the E.ON Next team suggested to get this working:

Linked my Next Drive Smart and SEG Accounts to separate email addresses - apparently, the Connection App was trying to register my EV to my SEG Account.

Double checked that my wall charger (myenergi Zappi) was set to ‘Fast’, share location was enabled in EV (Audi Q4) and plugged in.

Uninstalled and reinstalled the Next Connect App.

Nothing worked.

However, eventually made it past step 2 by disabling the VPN client on my router.

Now stuck at step 3, so one step forward, but still not able to register my EV and test charge.

Further Update:

Had another go at registering my Audi shortly after posting my last update. Started completely from scratch (again!) and it worked! Not sure what was different this time or whether anything has changed in the background.

Have set a schedule ready for a test charge tonight.

Update after test charge:

The test charge worked fine.

The only problem was that a charge outside of off-peak hours used solar and drained my house battery.

When I charge my EV during off-peak hours, I also charge my house battery, so it starts the day fully charged and I can rely on battery and solar during peak hours for all my home needs and export as much as possible.

It’s better financially, if can charge fully from the grid and export as much solar as possible (grid energy 6.2p, export rate 16.5p).

The solution was to set an ‘export margin’ on myenergi Zappi charger to greater than the maximum total output of my solar panels and battery. This ensures that the Zappi will never use solar power and battery to charge my EV while I’m relying on the Next Connect App to set the EV charge schedule.
