Sounds odd.

It's not minor - you need the car to be off and asleep, then wake up in the night for an off peak charge.

Or are you talking about rapid DC charging only? It shouldn't matter if the car is "on" or not.

Rapid DC charging only, I’ve had no problems at all at home off peak charging. Next time I do DC charging I’ll turn the car off before attempting first. Might not be till August though.

Have you tried turning it o… oh wait, yes you have.

Probably needs a software update then.

There is meant to be one due, but it hasn’t appeared on my car yet

If the driver gets out of the car then the car turns itself off. It makes no sense. I'd call the dealer. We've never had that problem. We had problems at one point and it turned out there was a problem with the cable...

Our EV stays on until you get out and lock it - it actually has no on/off button - which took some getting used to.
