Audi EV charger’s scheduled charging does not start at the programmed time, but manual charging works.

Safety first: This is a control logic issue; no high-voltage work is required.

• Verify time settings: In the app or web interface, confirm that the charger’s time and timezone are correct and synchronized.
• Review schedules: Check for overlapping schedules or conditions (e.g., tariff windows) that might prevent start. Simplify to a single test schedule.
• Test immediate start: Confirm that manual start works reliably; if not, the issue is broader than scheduling.
• Firmware update and reset: Update firmware and, if needed, reset scheduling settings. If problems persist and other RTC-related symptoms appear, the RTC circuit on the main board may need replacement.

Until resolved, use manual charging to ensure reliable operation.
