[Ovmsdev] Problem switching to Range mode charging (TR)

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Greg,

That does sound worrying. Was this with OVMS v2 or v3 module?

The commands sent is identical to that sent from the VDS.

I presume that the car had ignition key off, and was plugged in and charging at the time? If not, can you provide more details regarding the exact state?

Regards, Mark.
