I have Time of Use electricity variable rate , and like to understand , what would be the best solution for this.
The i3 software is very basic. My issues
1) does not have the weekday and weekend Time programming options
2) If set on Time of Use ( ToU) . the car will not charge outside of home. You have to change each time manually in the settings. Needless to say , sometimes i end up without charging outside, or leave ToU off at my home.
I understand the chevy Spark will simply override the ToU setting , if UNPLUGGED and plugged again quickly. The bolt used GPS to identify the house vs outside of home charging.
I am also participating in the bmw chageforward program, and they do have once remotely disabled my ToU option , which i found out accidentally after few days and also they have changed my ToU time also.
Do i need to buy the juice box pro , to solve my problems ? Options are few at good price.
I already have the regular juice box, and the very thick cable, makes for poor cable management and is not exactly making me a fan of it.
