    Hi guys, still really frustrated with this piece of junk charger. Ohme changed my load limit to 80amps, ct clamp is correct way, its set to 32amps and still will not charge at 7kw. I was at 7% last night, plugged it in at 9.30pm to charge to 90% and set the time i need it by for 9am, it initially started at 7kw and my car screen told me it would be complete way before 9am. Just woke up and its on 59% charging at 3kw and says ready by 12.42, ive done as advised above and manually changed the time to 11 which supposedly forces it to 7kw. Not for me it doesn’t, pops up a message saying it wont be ready in time but is charging at full power and stays at 3kw. My car is now stating it’ll be ready for 3.30pm at the current charging rate. What an absolute pile of junk, not to mention you cant pair your car to the charger because the apps broken snd just says technical problems. Im seriously considering buying my own charger and paying an electrician to swap them over at least all the wiring is already there. Would i then have to send this junk back to Motability ?

    Today, tonight, whenever your cheap rate are and set the charger to Max Charge, as this will overide any settings and should charge at the full 7kW
