Possible Causes

Incorrect time or timezone settings, Firmware bug in the scheduler, Lost real-time clock backup, App-cloud desynchronization

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This is a control issue; no special electrical risk beyond normal use.

  • Verify time settings: In the Zencar app or charger menu, confirm the date, time, and timezone are correct.
  • Disable and re-enable schedule: Delete existing schedules and recreate them, ensuring AM/PM or 24h times are correct.
  • Test immediate start: Confirm that manual (immediate) charging works to rule out hardware faults.
  • Update firmware: Install any available firmware updates that may fix scheduling bugs.
  • If scheduling still fails: Use manual start as a workaround and contact Zencar support; the main control PCB firmware may require replacement or reflash.
