Also, if the selected electric rate
settings result in a very long charge
completion time, the vehicle will
start charging immediately upon
plug-in. For example, if the electric
rate table is set up with all “Peak”
rates and the rate preference is to
charge during “Off-Peak” rates only,
then the vehicle will start charging
immediately upon plug-in.
Electric Rate Plan Selection
Electric rates, or cost per unit, may
vary based on time, weekday/
weekend, and season. During the
day when the demand for electricity
is high, the rates are usually higher
and called Peak rates. At night
when the demand for electricity is
low, the rates are usually lower and
called Off-Peak rates. In some
areas, a Mid-Peak rate is offered.
Contact the utility company to obtain
the rate schedule for your area. The
summer and winter start dates must
be established to use a summer/
winter schedule.
