Charging & running costs

Scheduled charging: start with one timer

A simple way to document the car, charger and tariff schedules without guessing menu paths.

If your car and home charger both have schedules, write down what each is set to do. This guide is a planning checklist, not a model-specific button sequence.

Check the instructions first

Find the charging section in the correct vehicle handbook and the instructions for your particular charger. Establish whether each timer sets a start time, a finish time or a departure time. Check any smart-tariff settings too.

Make one change at a time

  1. Record the existing schedules and take screenshots while safely parked.
  2. Confirm the current tariff window and which device is intended to manage charging.
  3. Where both manuals permit it, use one schedule controller for a test session so you can understand the result.
  4. Follow the handbook’s connection procedure and check that charging is ready before leaving the car.
  5. After the session, compare the charger history, billed energy and intended charging window.

If the result is unexpected

Keep a note of the times, vehicle software, charger model and any displayed message. Share that evidence with the charger provider or retailer. Avoid factory resets or unofficial software changes as a first experiment.

We will add illustrated JAECOO menu walkthroughs after checking the exact UK model and software edition. Energy Saving Trust’s advice explains the wider benefit of smart and off-peak charging.
