So plug in before you go to bed, instead of when you get home from work.
- mdavis6890 4y agoI wonder if charges can be configured to wait for a given time to begin charging. That way you could plug in your car whenever you want, but still get the benefit of waiting.
- collinmcnulty 4y agoMy Chevy Bolt has exactly such a setting.
- QuercusMax 4y agoMy Leaf had a charging timer feature back in 2016, so yes, this is definitely available.
- ortusdux 4y agoHow smart are standard level 2 chargers and cars? As I understand it, you can recoup about 25 miles of range per hour with a Lvl 2, so most people would only need to charge for a few hours per night. Can these systems negotiate with grid and charge at the ideal time?
- geekymartian 4y agoExactly, fear mongering , click baiting, etc. My car even has a timer to do that already normally, because it's the right thing to do. gee
