I have a 2013 S model, which only has an internal timer with the end or "to" time limit, not a start time limit. So, I want to plug the charger cable into an outlet timer that is set for 11 pm to 7 am to take advantage of super-low electricity rates during those hours.
A standard NSI/Tork outdoor outlet timer did not work, however. When the timer was activated, nothing would happen. If, however, I turned the timer on manually by overriding the timer function, it worked. So, the current passes through, but not in the way I want using the timer and I'm not sure if that kind of timer can handle the type of current the car pulls on a long-term basis. I don't want a fire hazard.
Anyone know of an outlet timer that is more heavy duty and that works in the way I need? I'm sure someone has thought of this before!
Thanks.
