Where does the energy come from if I ask the truck to precondition during an on-peak time?
- Plugged in at 16:15 during PM off-peak hours
- Truck charged until 17:00, which is the end of the PM off-peak hours
- Truck resumed charging at 21:00, the beginning of night time off-peak
- Charged...
Thank you. I'll try the same experiment but it will have to wait until next week as I'm off-peak all weekend. Off-peak, FP is happy to have my HomeFlex charger do the work. On-peak? Maybe not.
This is what it looked like last Sunday, all off-peak.
I've seen the same thing but on off-peak weekends. What's going to happen if I try to precondition during on-peak hours? Will FP allow the truck to draw 240V from the charger or will it refuse and draw from the battery?
Excellent question ... I'm trying to sort that out too.
One data point: my off-peak hours are 11am to 5pm AND 9pm to 7am. The other day I plugged in at about 3pm, FP dutifully started charging and estimated that I would reach 90% at about midnight. That estimate sounded about right IF charging...
