Yes, a mobile EV charging cable such as the Voldt® mobile charger can be set to delay charging when connected to a CEE power socket or a normal household socket. This feature is particularly useful when you want to start charging during off-peak electricity hours or when energy tariffs are lower. Delayed charging helps reduce costs and eases the load on the power grid, especially in areas with dynamic electricity pricing.
The Voldt® mobile EV charger is equipped with an intuitive delayed charging function. You can easily set it up in a few steps. The delay can be set in 1-hour increments, up to a maximum of 10 hours. Here's how to do it:
How to activate delayed charging on your Voldt® mobile charger:
- Plug the charger into a power socket (CEE or Schuko).
- Connect the charging cable to your electric vehicle.
- Turn on the charger (the display will light up).
- Press and hold the setting button for 3 seconds to activate a 1-hour delay.
- For each additional hour of delay, press and hold the setting button again for 3 seconds.
- Example: Pressing and holding 3 times = 3-hour delay.
- Once you reach the desired delay time, stop pressing the button.
- The countdown will begin, and charging will start automatically after the set delay.
This function is available on both household (230V Schuko, approx. 2.3–3.0 kW) and industrial (CEE 16A/32A, up to 22 kW) sockets, depending on the model. While the delayed charging function behaves the same across socket types, the actual charging speed will depend on the power source and your EV’s onboard charger. With Voldt®, you get flexible, efficient, and safe charging tailored to your schedule.
