You need to make sure "Charge Now" is "OFF" otherwise it will start charging straight away. Mine works fine set for a 7 hr charge starting at midnight on economy 7. If not that, I expect some sort of conflict with your charger scheduling. I may be somewhat confused by your post as my dumb charger is just on all the time and the scheduling is done by the car. Nice to see at least one other Lexus UX300e driver. I've had mine for 9 months and know my way round the car fairly well, so any other questions, post here.

Hi Can you help me on the same subject. Can you set the car charging schedule for more than 1 day at a time and also what is the Leaving time used for?

Yes, I can't say this is clear in the user guide. A couple of important points. You must set "charge now" to off. I never used "Depature" as I never set off from home at a fixed time. My understanding for departure is, you want to set the car to start charging to give you a full battery at set departure time and optionally to set climate control to pre-condition the car. So, to set a charging schedule to match off peak period - its Vehicle Settings - Charging Settings - Charging Schedule. Select - Scheduled Events - then +Add - then select "Start" for the charging mode (not Departure) Then set the time you want charging to start You must then ensure that the days you want to charge on are set to "ON" Select Save to store Settings. The big flaw for some is that you can only set a start time (unless you select Departure mode when you can only set an end time) so you can, if your battery is low, overrun the off peak period. With 7 hrs off peak at 7kW, that rarely affects me. Once you've set this, it is very important that if you use a granny charger or other AC supply, you have to set "Charge Now" to on. It's an imperfect system. The Leaf was much better where you could set start and end times.

Thanks for the above but are you setting your charging schedule on your charger or car? If car what app are you using as I do not have all those vehicle settings scheduled events etc

My charger has no way to set the charging times. The progeamming is done from inside the car using buttons on the steering wheel. Everything I have said refers to the Lexus UX300e. The user guide may well be the best place to look for more detail of the charge settings.

Thanks again
. I just assumed the app offered the same options as inside the car…clearly not! I’ll check it out tomorrow.
