Hi all,
Just got my 2019 Leaf, I seem to be having an issue with the charge timers where the time is not calculated properly and I end up with a full charge earlier than when I want.
For example, I want to have an 80% charge at 5pm, so I set my Timer End to be 6:20pm and my timer start to be 6:10pm. I then turn on "Prioritize Full Battery" or whatever it is, so that it'll calculate when the charge should start, to be complete by 6:20pm.
The problem is it seems to be calculating based on a 3.3kW rate, even though I'm plugging into 6.6kW chargers, and have charge estimate displays set to 6.6kW.
So today, for example, I plugged into some work chargers after lunch, it was calculating a 3.3kW time (I assume?) so it immediately started charging, and then recalculated and said I'd be done by 4:30pm, even though I wanted it to not finish until 6:20pm. So I had to then go back into the car, start it back up, disable the timer, and re-enable the timer, and then it properly calculated the start time based on the charger I am currently plugged into.
Surely there must be an easier way than getting out, plugging in the car, going back in, turning it on, and shutting the timer, turning the car back off, and then turning it back on, right?! What am I missing?
Also, I'm enraged that Nissan doesn't just have a timer to stop at a certain percentage. The Bolt EV and Teslas all allow this. I realize Nissan is scarred from the EPAs decision years ago to base their range on an average of the two SOC settings, but that was because Nissan was actively encouraging people to use the lower setting, not because the setting existed.
Thanks in advance!
