I'd be surprised if anything (with integral, sophisticated electronics) designed and manufactured in the last 10 years or so needed manual intervention when the clocks changed.

Last year that's exactly what happened with my Easee One charger, perhaps that's just particularly poor on the software front, as one might perhaps guess from the name. Hopefully others aren't as bad

TBH I've no idea if my charge point updated the clock as I never use a scheduled charge anyway.

If you use Economy 7 times you will need to add an hour to the scheduled start and end but check with your supplier.

I will probably know in the morning thanks for the replies.

I'm with E.on and they say the EV tariff runs from midnight to 7 am both in BST and GMT.

Just checked on my Zappi app and that has updated to BST so has the wall box and the car.

My Ohme wall charger has automatically changed to BST

I am on Octopus "economy 7" - that system uses UTC time and therefore I need to change the charge time on my car to 1:30-8:30am and I have to reset the Growatt battery charging as well. I do not know if you are using other tariffs if the same issue applies. If you have HomeAssistant - you can easily track the unit price of electricity. Yes - I know I am not on the best tariff - but the combination I have gives me 15p/kWh export and I only have a granny charging plug - so I need the 7hrs!

I’ve got a ProjectEV charger and it now doesn’t start charging at 10pm. I haven’t managed to find the setting for it yet.

My Wallbox Pulsar Plus was set up with 00:35 to 04:25, the low tariff times for Flexible Octopus, and the times were changed from 00:35 to 02:00 after the Spring clock change - not ideal. However it's only twice a year to have to alter it.

Yes, that’s what Octopus Energy told me this week. ECO7 charging time now 01.30 to 08.30 (during “Summer Time “)
