I charge my car at home, and the minimum charging level I can set is 50%. Since I have free Supercharging, I prefer to charge at Superchargers and use home charging only when necessary to have enough charge for the trip to the Superchargers. Last night, I set my car to charge, and the charging level was limited to a minimum of 50%. The car started charging at 10%, and I needed at least 20% charge to reach the Supercharger the next day. When the charging reached 30%, I pressed the stop charging button in the app on my phone, and the charging stopped. After that, I didn't check my phone for another 15 minutes. It turned out that the charging had resumed, and during that time, the car had reached 37% charge. I once again stopped the charging by pressing the stop charging button and completely closed the app. I was confident that the car would no longer charge. Imagine my surprise when I woke up in the morning and found that the car had charged up to 50% - the minimum value that can be set on the car.
My question is, how can you stop charging through the app without physically disconnecting the car? Is it possible? Has anyone else encountered the same issue as me? It seems that the car resumes charging after some time (in my case - 10-15 min after stop) has passed since the charging was stopped through the app on the phone.
