Got to use my granny charger as I'm doing X-Mas visits. Plugged it in, the LED on the front showed 06 and the car started to charge, but at 1.3kW (for those not in the UK we should get up to 2.3kW). There is a button on the front, but this appears to be a stop button. Anyone else in the UK used their yet and if so what charging rates did you get? Not found a manual for the charger yet to explain what the number means (I wonder if it is 60% of maximum, and it turns off after a while).

I have only used my granny charger once and didn't look at the display on the front, but I do remember being disappointed at the level of charge that had gone in by the next morning. I have Googled the charger details and there is some discussion about this on the Ioniq forum: https://www.ioniqforum.com/threads/increasing-current-on-ic-cpd-portable-charger-to-12a.41996

From this, I suspect that the 6 may be referring to 6 amps as the "selected" current rate. My charger is rated at 10 amps (on the label on the back) but there is no indication of whether you can change this (and no User Manual that I can find).

Some on the Ioniq forum say that their charger is only rated at 6 amps. Have you checked the label on the back of yours. I'll check what comes up on mine when I get a chance but perhaps someone else has a definitive answer on this?

Cheers for that - I still have the granny charger for my Zoe50 (bought separately as Renault wanted £800 for one and they are/were not standard). I might try that when I get a chance and compare.
---Edit
Just tried the above, unplugged from the car before I set it, but it cycled from 6 to 8 to 10 (did not try beyond though that is moot) and my car is now charging at 2.2-2.3kW. Just wish I'd known last night.
(for those not wanting to watch the video and with the LED and button on the front, plug in to the power, press the button until the 06 flashes, press again twice to change up to 10, then press and hold, number will flash more quickly. Now plug in to the car.)
