This is something that hopefully wouldn't have to wait for the Gen 2 car so I didn't tack on to that thread -
The app lets you initiate charging remotely, but it doesn't let you stop it, nor does it let you specify a charge %. It should be able to stop charging and/or set set a percentage.
Last night we arrived home after our regular (80%) recharge timer start time, so we plugged in but of course the car didn't start charging - the options at that point are:
Push timer override, let it start, and go to bed - resulting in a 100% charge
Fire up the Nav unit interface, program in a new 80% timer (or edit current timer) to start in a few minutes, then go back the next day and delete/re-edit.
Start charging from the iPhone - resulting in a 100% charge.
If the iPhone app allowed me to stop the charge, I could have monitored from in the house (or even made an estimate and set a phone alarm) so I could stop the charging from bed later on that night. Alternatively if it had a "start charging, to 80%" request mode then I'd be done in one step. As it was I decided to stop the charge, since we weren't really that low, and decide the next day what to do and when.
The app does let you start AND stop climate control, as well as set a climate control timer - the same should be possible for charging, yes?
