Maybe I just haven't developed the appropriate habits because I don't use public Level II stations that much, but it seems to me that if I plug into one (and possibly any "non-Home" unit), it should be assumed that I want to charge the car immediately and until I unplug rather than charge according to any set schedule.
Even if I'm the only one to admit it, I doubt I'm alone in having plugged into a public Level II, and come back an hour or two later only to discover that -- doh! -- the vehicle is waiting for it to be 2 o'clock in the morning, or whatever. I'm aware of the cancel timer button, but shouldn't good software be as "idiot proof" as possible? Any reason why this would NOT be a good default?
And while I'm at it, here's a second issue related to "Home awareness" that I think Nissan should correct: stop asking me if I want to look for nearby charging stations when I hit VLB within a few miles of my Home... No, I don't want to, and I never will!!
