We should have asked the question of all questions: "Wouldn't we like to sit in the car a little longer, maybe cuddle and kiss?" After a long search, the charging station for the plug-in hybrid was found, it was in an underground car park , any reference to this in the smartphone app is missing.
The charging cable was then attached to the station and vehicle, the ID of the station was read, the appropriate one was searched for in the app and the charging process started.
"Authorization successful" showed the station's display and we escaped from the garage.
We could and should have known better: sitting in the car for a few more minutes to observe the correct start of the charging process would have been the order of the day.
This time, too, we seemed to have done everything right, but the communication between the charging station and the vehicle failed, and when we returned a few hours later, the battery was as empty as before.
This is not an isolated case.
One is all the more annoyed when the Mobility Plus app from EnBW shows a charging process that is actually not taking place.
How can it be that everything is networked and communicated, that the app annoys you with push messages like "Fast charging park near Lauenau opened!" or advertises a "customer survey in Kamen!", but is not able to To warn mobile phone owners in Heidelberg that the charging process is becoming an air act?
We kept checking the app during the walk along the Neckar, and there wasn't the slightest hint of a problem either.
So you have to be ten times more cautious when it comes to electromobility, because as we all know, the devil is a squirrel.
