My sales representative, although somewhat helpful, was only semi-accurate with many facts.
One item he mentioned has to do with leaving the charging cable connected, even after achieving a full charge. He implied it may not be desirable, because the car will continually search for a current...
And, TaosEV - it does makes sense to use the remote to delay charge until appropriate time to accommodate local utility usage times/rates (my home's solar panels provide 100+ % of my electric power consumption, so mine's powered by the sun, fortunately.)
Fjpod, you really got me thinking on...
Thank you - I also referenceed Nissan leaf boards. It seems you may be onto something; the recommendation there is to charge only to 80% (barring expected long trips). This practice would definitely legitimize the use of the remote to set charging durations - TY!!
Can anyone explain why I would need to set timer on or off for charging? I appreciate the 'convienence' but cannot understand a practical use - besides the fact that you'd want to avoid keeping the charger plugged in for an extended period of time after achieving a full charge??? Anyone??? =)
