Sorry to hear of your troubles

Although I am not an electrician, could it be possible to have and inline timer which comes on and off at a designated time or is it based on the physical connection to the vehicle before charging takes place?

Theoretical solution if having the charger plugged into the car with no power to the charger doesn’t drain the 12v battery would be to have an electrician instal a timer between the consumer unit and the charger so that you could set that instead.
Not ideal as more expense but could work?

Thought I mentioned that in my post above and I’m not even electrical - top trade mechanical though 😂😂

No need to chat with them though as my TDI doesn’t need charging 😉

Really, honestly 😂😂

I have been reading this post with some interest

Looking at the OHME site, I found this

How do I set up Intelligent Octopus Go?

Integrating your Ohme account with the Intelligent Octopus tariff will ensure you get super cheap electricity for any Smart Charging.

Apologies if this has already been reviewed by those who have Octopus as their supplier

Found this on another site
It basically for the Golf, but the Tigs have the same issue

May be of use to someone, shows how to possibly get charging.
Not electrical so…….

Well, if you have Golf GTE’s, you must be interlopers then 😂

been following this with great interest as i'm due delivery of a e-hybrid Tiguan very soon. has anyone affected had any updates/official news from vw on a resolution for this yet?

Perhaps you might be able to get the scheduling at home for overnight charging, otherwise, in my opinion, you and others have been mis sold and misled
