Currently, at my house, I'm set up with time of use rates for my electricity. Which basically means that my best electrical rate to charge my I3 is from 8pm at night to 10 am in the morning. I set up my I3 with low cost charging for those times and to have the departure time be 8 am every morning. Now, while the car won't charge until up to the departure time (usually about a couple hours before my departure time, the car also won't charge any other time outside of my low cost charging window that I've set.
This is great, but when my wife takes the I3 to work, she plugs it in to the charging stations at her job. It automatically knows to charge the car to full then, and this is definitely far outside of the low cost charging time. How does the I3 differentiate between chargers? How does it know that it's not charging at my house and that it's okay to charge when it's not at home? Is the low cost charging GPS based?
