Ok, I have a 2013 Nissan Leaf that I purchased almost three months ago and I can't seem to stop charging remotely. When I go either into Carwings or into the website, I update and see that it's charging, but the button I get says "start charging" - when I click it it just tells me that it started charging but maintains that button. I never see a "stop charging" button. Is this right?
The reason I'd like to be able to do this is this: I charge on a 120V line in our garage. Also on this line is our garage freezer, and my computer, printer, etc. in the office above the garage. That office doesn't get the central air from the house, and so when it gets over 80 degrees here or under 60, it requires some help or it's not particularly enjoyable to be here. I just plugged in a space heater for the first time, a pretty small one at that, and it tripped the circuit. When I stop charging the car, the heater does fine. So, I'd like to be able to stop charging for short periods of an hour or so until the room gets sufficiently warm, but in order to do so, so far I've had to either unplug the charger from the socket, or go outside and unplug the car. No, these are not horrible tasks, but when the temps start getting really low, I might change my opinion!
Anyway, am I missing something or is this just not something Nissan has provided for? Or is there something wrong with my setup somehow?
Thanks!
