Hi all,

The last 4 times I charged the car on a 400V charging point on my work it gives me a weird ( read long ) expected loading time on the dashboard. For example I plug in at 9.00 AM and then the dash read 8.00 AM the next day so almost 24u to load the car. But in the app it shows the correct loading time immediatly like 12.00 AM what is normal timespan to load on the 400V charge point. Now as a test I plugged in the 230V granny charger this morning at 9.00 AM and get the same long charging time on the dashboard, so it is not in the charging points, on the app it gives me 8.00 PM wich is normal loading time with the granny charger. The 12V battery has also been replaced and there are no other strange things or messages going on, only the charging time on the dashboard that is not correct.

Has anyone else had this before?

Perhaps on the dash it’s showing the next programmed departure time? That’s what mine has done recently as I’ve started using AC chargers, but I haven’t played around with the onboard charging settings very much yet.
 
I keep getting different times, all between 20 and 24 hours from the moment of loading. Tomorrow I will have to charge the car again and I am curious what I will see then. There are also no departure times set, but I will check this again just to be sure, thanks for this comment.
