Had my Blink HQ installed over the weekend, it seems to be a great deal as the entire $499 purchase price will be paid for by our local utility company's rebate (PSE), and my only out of pocket is $60 of shipping and tax. The charger looks great and appears to be well built, I'm pretty happy with it but I just got a couple of questions.
First is compare L1 with L2, is one considered more "harmful" over another? I always thought the faster it charges the more damage it'll do to the battery, but again having the battery constantly in a "charging" state for 15 hours probably has some consequences too.
Second I know Blink marks the Ethernet port under the HQ as for diagnostics only, has anyone figured out whether the unit can potentially be network capable in the future? I was surprised to find out we don't have a time of the day based electricity rate here in King County, the nice delay start feature on the charger has become useless.
