I have searched through the forums, but can't seem to find the information about preconditioning and charging that I am looking for. The salesperson I spoke with mentioned that there was a way to specify when you want the car to charge, i.e. during off peak hours when electric rates are low. And also I would be able to schedule times when I would like the car to be preconditioned for my daily commutes to and from work. But I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere. Are these features available?
For charging, I would like the car to only draw power from my outlet during off peak hours (9:00 pm to 7:00 am when the electric rate is low: $0.0585/kWh). During peak hours (4:00 pm to 9:00 pm when rates are high: $0.38/kWh), it should under no circumstances draw any electricity at all. I would like to be able to plug the car in (I have a level 2 EVSE) when I come home from work at 5:00 pm and have the car not draw any power until 9:00 pm. I don't want to have to wake up in the middle of the night just to plug the car in to avoid charging during peak hours.
I go to work at 5:30 am each morning. When it is below 0 F, I want to start out in a warm car. The car should provide me with a way to schedule preconditioning so the car will be ready for me at 5:30 am each morning and the interior cabin temperature is 72 F, and the battery has also been warmed.
I look at screenshots of the Android app and I don't see these features.
