Answer

There may be circumstances where FreeCharge is not working optimally. This could be due to a variety of factors. Some things to watch out for are: 

  1. FreeCharge has paused charge, waiting for the greenest and quietest time of the day to activate charging to hit your EV ready-by time 
  2. Operational issues with your charger. This could be due to hardware or software issues. 
  3. Something else might be causing the car to not charge (e.g. you have set a specific schedule in your EV manufacturer app). Please ensure these are disabled for FreeCharge to work.  
  4. You have disabled the FreeCharge scheduling feature in the schedule settings on the Hive app.
