2024 XC40 Recharge Twin Plus - Not charging on Pod Point

S60Chris · Aug 6th, 2023, 14:46

Hi All,

Great to be back. Driveway feels complete again with a Volvo sat on it!

Wifey recently took delivery of a brand new MY24 XC40 Recharge Twin Plus as company hack. Looks great in the sage green colour. Love the Android infotainment.

Good god it shifts too. It's very sure of itself, even if the suspension is ludicrously noisy and clonky over undulations in the road. Guess it's an EV thing.

Question - we have an 'old' Pod Point 7KW charger which is used to charge a Peugeot e208 frequently, and the charger is set to charge only between 00:30-04:30 on Octopus Go hours.

On 3 occasions now the Pod Point has failed to deliver charge to the car. We have plugged the car in outside the schedule and the dash shows as 'initialising' (as there is no power being delivered) but then doesn't take a charge once it hits 00:30. On one or two occasions it has worked.

What are we doing wrong?

Should we have the charger set to charge all the time and let the car determine the schedule (in which case I'm not sure the Peugeot supports doing the same thing hence setting this on the Pod Point?)

Cheers!!
