    As a newbie owner of 2-weeks 2021 PP, there are couple of charging feature on mobile we wish to have.
    1. Stop charge
    2. Incremental (like 30mins or hour) charging time.

    Some public charge station offer first 1-2 hrs for free. It will be great if we can somehow set the time incremental in minutes or hour.

    It should be easy for Toyota to add that to the mobile app.

    if the freebie ends, and you want to stop charging, shouldn't you be moving your car?

    You are right ;). But still useful to have in other situation.
    Example: My lowest rate electricity is from 12am - 3 pm
    I already have schedule the car start charging at 12am and end at 7am. Let say once in a while I get home at 1pm and wanna charge 2hrs for another trip, it will be great to be able to:
    1. Stop the manual charge remotely before the high rate electricity kick in.
    2. Or we can have incremental charge now time.

    Off course we can set another schedule to handle this but IMO for a "once in a while" situation, it would be great if we had a short cut like feature above ;)
