Hi,
I'm on Ovo Anytime for their 7p rate; which is great.
I use the Ovo app for home charge scheduling and tend to have it set to stop at 75%.
A few days ago, I plugged in and the following morning it had charged to 80% - which is fine. I didn't unplug the car because I didn't need it that day. The subsequent morning it had then charged to 100%.

Is this how Ovo is designed to work?
Ie, if you don't unplug after a nightly charge, it then charges to 100% the following night regardless of the app's max charge-to setting?

Ok.
Seems like a daft / illogical approach if it is designed this way.

Not sure if it's 'designed' to do that. But it certainly isn't just you it happens to.

I think Ovo works via amending timers in the PCM. It seems to get confused or not cancel timers or something, i guess - hence the day 2 overshoot.

If someone knows of a setting or a way to stop it (other than unplugging) i'd love to hear it.

Overall pretty happy with it.
