EV Charging without discharging the House/solar battery

Hi,
I want to charge my car overnight from the grid, but not taking any power from the house battery. I can’t see an option in the FoxCloud app to enable this. Anyone know how to do this. I have a KH10 inverter and cube4300 batteries, MyEnergi Zappi car charger.

Use one of the charge periods set to the same time as your EV charger will charge, if you want the home battery to charge set ‘charge from grid on’ or if you want to hold the home battery SoC leave the ‘charge from grid switch off’ that will stop it discharging and not charge.

Hi Dave, thanks for this feedback,
The specific thing I want is to stop the battery discharging while I charge the EV. I will try this tonight.
