BMW Wallbox scheduled charging does not start at the programmed time

Possible Causes

Incorrect time zone or clock setting, Overlapping or conflicting schedules in BMW app and vehicle, Disabled schedule in Wallbox configuration, Firmware bug in scheduler

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work is required.

  • Verify time and time zone: Check that the Wallbox and vehicle both show the correct local time.
  • Check for conflicting schedules: Disable scheduled charging in the vehicle and set it only in the BMW Wallbox (or vice versa) to avoid conflicts.
  • Test immediate charge: Temporarily disable all schedules and confirm that immediate charging works.
  • Recreate schedule: Delete existing schedules and create a new one with a simple start time and no end time to test.

If scheduling continues to fail while manual charging works, a firmware update or service intervention may be required to correct the scheduler logic.
