Charge Status in App

[1stTIME-EV]

Has anyone faces this issue? I am in California, on a EV-A rate with PG&E. My off peaks hours are midnight to 3 PM. I have scheduled my car to charge starting 00:15. Of late, I have noticed that the app shows that part of my charging was in mid-peak hours. This never happened last year. I started to notice this in the app the last two times I charged, and when I go back in history to check, it shows the same from the start of this year. Any similar experiences?

What makes you think that graph has anything to do with the time of day? It is just saying which days you charged and how much. IMO. I just noticed the line is RED if it was supercharger charging (which
I did because we had no power at home for a few days).

It does, it shows that i have charged during mid-peak hours when I reality, I haven’t.

The smaller bar graph indicates the time of charging before midnights (during mid peak period) and the taller bars indicate that charging continued beyond midnight (in off peak hours)

Tomorrow, I plan to check my smart meter data and verify if indeed the charging started before 00:15 or not.

Scheduled charging seems to be hit or miss and people report that it starts charging sometimes before it’s supposed to.

Scheduled departure with the off peak charging setting is more reliable it seems.

Scheduled departure is not for me. No schedule!

Looking at the graph on the Tesla App, the height of the bars is a measure of the
kWh used, the height meaning is shown on the screen to the right of the graph. That graph
appears to me to have nothing whatever to do with time of day.

Yes, I’ve noticed this myself. I keep my car plugged in most of the time when it is in the garage. My current off-peak hours are from 11PM to 7AM, (called super off-peak by GA Power). I set my charging time to start at 11:30 PM and there is no issue of not finishing charging by the 7AM cutoff since my limited use this past month takes only about 10 to 30 miles to charge up to the 80% I’ve set, (I have a wall charger.). I have just switched my start time to 12:30 AM to see if that makes a difference. Sometimes during the day I’ve noticed the charge light is green by the connector, but I do not know why. Below are the three relevant graphs from my Tesla App:

My guess is that there is a reason the car is charging during unscheduled periods, I just don’t know what that reason is.
