With Smart charging on, set a target charge, a ready-by time and the days the car should be ready.

Plan your charge

With Smart charging on, set a target charge and a ready-by time, then choose the days the car should be ready. The next charge window is calculated from those goals. A one-off ready-by goal can override the usual schedule for a single deadline without changing the weekly pattern.

Optimisation

• Fastest charges at the earliest safe opportunity.
• Solar Preferred uses forecast surplus solar and is best effort.
• Lowest Cost looks for lower-cost windows while still aiming at the ready-by time.

The app copy is clear that a ready-by goal influences charging; it is not a guarantee. If the car must be charged by a deadline and the plan cannot finish, turn Smart charging off and use Manual.
