Adding and managing charging schedules

You can set and activate a charging schedule for your car in the charging view. This means you can specify when you want the car to charge, such as when plugged in overnight.

You can decide to activate either a manual or a smart schedule.

A smart schedule decides when to charge based on different parameters, for example battery health, cheapest time and user preferences.1 You only need to set a departure time and the system will try to meet your desired target battery level by the selected departure time. However, there are some external factors that can affect this, such as available power, type of charging cable at the charging station and the amount of time between plugging in the charging cable and the departure time. Make sure to plan accordingly and allow enough time for your car to be able to charge as planned.

A charging schedule can be set for a specific location. When you arrive at that specific location, the charging schedule is automatically applied.

in the bottom bar and go to Settings.
