I have recently signed up to the Next Drive Smart tariff with a VW ID.3 and a HyperVolt home charger.

The first night my car didn't charge. I have set the HyperVolt charger to Plug and Charge and it has no schedule configured. I have never had a schedule in the EV as I previously used the HyperVolt app to control the charging during the off-peak time period on my previous British Gas tariff.

When I plug in the car it immediately starts to charge and I have to stop it charging in the car, is this normal or is there a setting in the car that would stop this happening? Would this charge stop after a period of time, controlled by E.ON Next Home app?

Is Plug and Charge the correct setting to have on the HyperVolt charger?

@Blocks - the sounds pretty standard for the initial setup.

People report the car starting to charge immediately while Eon works out the schedules to use, which will then get uploaded to the car

This should then stop the charging until the scheduled time is reached.👍

Exactly as said.. Will charge for a few minutes then stop and creates a schedule

Things may be about to change for the better, with rumour of chargers being integrated into Drive Smart 🤞



I've just tried a quote with my ineligible car, but a myEnergi Zappi charger & it's flagged as OK for Drive Smart 😁
