This would enable me to plug the car in when I get home and then after midnight the socket would be fed with low tariff power and the car would start charging whilst power through the night was available!
Do you see any problems with this set up?
If I did not use a timer but scheduled the car through Volvo app, would it cause
Any problems having my car hooked up to a live socket for six hours waiting to start charge?
Also what chargers and methods do you use , thanks in anticipation!
you need a qualified electrician to do the work who knows what the exact regulations are .
