Charging Timer Function (Finish Setting)

Yes, mine finishes early also. I figure it allows for charging from completely flat, but most of the time I have some charge left when I park and plug it in. It usually seems to wind up charging in about 2 hrs, 30 minutes. I don't track it all the time, as I have it set for 6:00 am, so I only check it if I happen to wake up extra early. If you have set the finish time based on a regular scheduled departure time like that, it will get the job done with no worries. I think that is what the engineers may have had in mind.

 

it's more helpful as a second timer. charge at home, charge at work kinda thing. could have been two start times i suppose...

 

Because many others said the Finish timer always seemed to start too early, I only use the Start timer.
With a dead battery, I set the Start 2-1/2 - 3 hours before I want to leave. Simple.

 

I use the finish timer at home. Its set to 8:20AM (because I typically leave the house at 8AM). I changed it to 8:30AM once and when I went out to unplug at 8AM, it was still charging.

I've been using the Finish timer at home for a solid 5 months or so. So I dont know if it "learns" and adjusts. But my reason for changing it from 8:20 -> 8:30 was because I was working my way up until it finished right before I left. But it seems my actual finish time is around 20 minutes +/- 5 min of my set finish time. Maybe I'll try 8:25 to see if it finishes by 8AM.

When I arrive at home, I'm usually around 20-22% SoC (almost as empty as can be). So if it always starts 3 hours before the finish time as LeoArt suggests, then that would explain my relatively consistent actual finish time.

 

I have been using PiP for a month now.Used this timer for only few times.
Generally I like my PiP ready to go any time, as some errands come up in the night between 7 to 11PM.
If I connect charger after coming from work, I will get few miles at least charged.
My work is more than 11miles, so generally most of the EV miles are gone by the time I am back.
