Hey guys,
I set up TOU charging schedule at work, so the battery will be warm when I leave to go home... but it seems to pretty consistently finish around an hour before I told it too, giving the battery an hour to sit idle cooling off in the winter temperatures the whole time. Do I need to intentionally set it to finish an hour later than I am leaving in order to compensate for this? Not a big deal for daily commute since if I wanted to I could charge once a week instead of every day and still have enough range, but I don't want to set up a TOU departure for a road trip and wake up to find that the car either finished charging hours before departure... or if I try to compensate for this just my luck it would be "right on time" and not actually be finished charging when I am ready to go.
Any thoughts are welcome,
Keith
