Charging can only take place when both the charge point and the car have the status 'available'.This means that if the cable is connected to a car and wants to draw power, but the charging point is still not displayed in the planning window, the car will not start charging.
The reverse also applies: if the charging point is displayed in the planning window but the car is not ready to take power – i.e. there is no planning ready – then charging does not take place.
