Strange, I have a volvo EX40, so that should be exactly the same car when you look at charging.

I am very satisfied with my flow to only charge using surplus energy. That flow is fully based on managing the Amperage via the Amina S.

And its working flawless.

BUT I did not set any amperage on the volvo (set to 30A while the Amina will do max (3x) 16A but normally much less. Homey is in full comtrol. So I guess that is in line with the advice you got from Amina
