I think every EV I've driven has a charging timer - so I've been able to say "only charge overnight when prices are cheaper". Some have "Be charged to 100% by

  > lack of experience I've had electric cars for almost a decade, and I currently have two Teslas. > concocting scenarios which don't exist I've had plenty of situations where my car didn't charge. (Don't buy an electric Chrysler, btw.) The most recent situations have to do with Tesla's new feature where the car will primarily charge on solar. > "Be charged to 100% by this time" What I hit was with my dual car charger. (Grizzle) It gets screwed up by things like timers when two cars are plugged in. It divides the amperage up evenly until a car finishes charging, and then gives the car that is still charging most of the amperage. If the 2nd car is on a timer, the charger will never give it full amperage until you unplug and replug it. This is a problem with Tesla's solar charging feature, because only one car will charge at a time. When car 1 finishes and car 2 starts charging, the charger doesn't adjust, and the car 2 never gets full amperage. You'll hit the same thing if you have two cars plugged in and they are both on timers. Granted I could probably push on Grizzle to give me a firmware update, but my experience is that they ignore support questions.
