I am writing an app that controls the home wall charger (running at 32amp/7kw) based on electricity prices. If the price is low enough the charger will start.

My concern is that if prices fluctuate up and down heavily, this can cause the app to stop and start the charger numerous times (I check prices every 15 minutes and the app could turn the charger off after 15 minutes, wait 15 minutes and then turn it back on again, cycling numerous times.

Would this be an issue for the car or the wall charger? Could this type of charging behaviour cause issues for the car or charger if done on a regular basis?

I appreciate any thoughts/insights.
