wsbca and TT, I dont know how you are doing that; plugging in after the start time and getting a charge to 80%
If the start and end time are both set to midnight, when is "before" and when is "after" the start time? Think about it.
Leaf help says it cant do that, and I cant do it either.
Who is "Leaf help?" are you calling Customer Service or something? Did you try what I did? It works for me.
I was curious about other reference to just programming a stop time and 80%.
Keep in mind what it says in the manual (p. CH-19):
"When only the charging timer end time is set, the system automatically determines
when to begin charging based on the Li-ion battery charge level."
Thus if you come home at 5:00PM and have only an end time set at 5:00AM, not a start time, the car may not start charging until it needs to, which may not be until sometime after midnight, depending on its state of charge when you parked it. If you have the timer set to 80% charge level, and you park the car and plug it in at 5:00PM with 20% SOC remaining in the pack, it may not start charging for 6 or 7 hours. In such a case, you only need a 60% charge to "top it off," which will only take about 3 hours with the Blink EVSE, so it will not start until 3-4 hours before the end time, or about 1-2:00AM.
Hey--why am I helping you? Aren't you the guy who insulted me multiple times in earlier threads?
Never mind...forget I said anything. Call CS again and follow their excellent instructions. They're all experts and know everything about your Leaf.
