Why does my Tesla start charging immediately?

Modified on Mon, 8 Mar, 2021 at 12:03 PM

If you've set your Tesla to Smart Charge with ev.energy, your Tesla may occasionally start charging immediately.


This is because our system only talks to your Tesla every 30 minutes. This means when you first plug in, you may charge for a short period of time before our system kicks in. 


To avoid this, we recommend you set a schedule on your car to tell your car to start charging at midnight every night. ev.energy will override this schedule within 30 minutes of you plugging in your vehicle.
