BYD Seal (and other cars) cannot cope with smart charging

There is a major bug or design flaw with the charging system. The car goes to sleep and essentially rejects any charging attempt if the charging is not started within a set time of plugging in. The only way to fix it is to disconnect and connect again and hope your smart charging schedule holds.

Smart charging in the UK is the way due to the extortionate cost of electricity. BYD needs to offer UK customers the ability to avoid the car sleeping in this way.
