VW wallbox schedule or smart‑charging rules are ignored; charging starts immediately regardless of set times.

Safety first: No high‑voltage work is needed.

• Verify clock: In the app, check that the VW wallbox time and time zone match your local time.
• Clear schedules: Delete all schedules and smart‑charging rules, save, then create a single simple schedule and test.
• Check vehicle settings: Ensure the EV itself is not overriding the wallbox schedule with its own timer.
• Update firmware: Install any available updates.

If the issue persists, the control PCB may have a software defect that requires a service update or replacement.
