I have an e-Niro 4+, but I think these issues will be the same for all e-niros?
Problem 1. The car is charging and I switch the power on to do something - input some destinations into the satnav, listen to the radio, or whatever. I cannot then switch the car off. If I press the power button it says remove the power cable before driving off, but the car stays switched on. I don't want to drive off, I just want the car to power down. So I have to stop charging, switch the power off, and then plug the cable in again to restart the charging. Anyone any ideas about how to switch the car off without stopping the charging, or how I should switch it on in the first place to sidestep this issue?
Problem 2. How to stop the charging process before the charging limit has been reached. The easiest way is to use the UVO app to stop charging. That is assuming you've got your phone. If you haven't you can lock/unlock the car - apparently unlocking the car stops charging for 30s so you can rush round to the front and unplug the cable. Anyone know a less clunky method?
Problem 3. Follows on from problem 2. I plug the car into a rapid DC charger and want to go away to get a coffee/toilet break etc. So I lock the car. When I come back I want to get into the car out of the cold, so I unlock the car. This stops the charging for 30s. The rapid DC charger then refuses to restart charging, so I have to drive away with less charge than I need. Anyone know how to sidestep this issue without leaving the car unlocked - apart from always having to travel as a pair?
