So, to bring this back on topic, if P1274 fixes the TCM so that the time to charge calculation is more accurate and I can just set Finish by 05:00 to 100% Monday - Friday, yes, my life gets a whole lot easier!
Why not use the start timer ?
Well, I have risked midnight to 6am which for most days would get me to 90%-100% but to guarantee 100% by 5am or 5a30 at the latest, when I wanna leave for work before some of the worst traffic in the nation wakes up, I need it to start maybe 23:00 or so and there's the rub, because then it becomes 23:00-05:30 to 100% Su, M, Tu, W, Th, nothing on Friday (it's covered by Thursday), Sat 01:00 - 05:00 to 80% and Sunday?? Nope, can't set Sunday because it overlaps Monday. And there's the rub.
Got P1274 today (Nissan's EV line said I qualified for P1273 but the dealership insisted on P1274). Haven't checked my old manual's print date to see if it's September or November but as my car was delivered on 2 November my guess is it must be the September edition. None the less, I didn't receive a new manual.
The main thing for me was the charge timer so after 90 minutes they'd completed the Apron and reprogramming (all my settings were lost but I think I got the Trip A odometer copied) and attempted to reprogram the timers. But I couldn't activate them so I didn't leave and asked them to take a look at this. After another hour, a nose bleed, and the technician's call to the Nissan LEAF service hotline, they concluded that it's because the LEAF couldn't communicate with the Satellite. Of course, CARWINGS AFAIK works on AT&T's 3G but whatever, they took it outside, the new timers set and I was on my way with a cold compress.
So I went to MOMs and for some reason it didn't charge again. Very strange. But still, only 90 minutes estimated charge time should make this a safe experiment. Basically, I have no start time, finish by 05:00 to 100% so if the new Firmware is true to its description, it should finish around 5am (04:45 I'd consider a success). If not, maybe around 02:15, which is a bit outside the Super-Off-Peak but not much so as I say a good day to experiment.
As for the MOMs issue, maybe the "Off" button didn't take. I seem to have this problem specifically with the Coulomb (ChargePoint) chargers at MOMs as this is the second time it's happened to me. Very strange.
