I am sure this is covered elsewhere, but please accept my apologies as I can't find it.
I am not clear about the messages that I should get when charging is complete at 100%. I put my car on charge last night and it was on for over 9 hours (PodPoint 7kw unit). The message on the display read "Finished" when I opened the car this morning. However, when checking my smart meter (no smartphone and app) the car still seemed to be drawing about 500 watts of power. I think I have read somewhere that this should be less than that when the battery is fully balanced. Is this correct? Is there a different message that tells me when the battery is balanced? How long does balancing take?
Any words of wisdom will be gratefully received.
