That’s just a bug with your car ignoring your set charging window, which is known to happen.Let me give you a real example:
1. You receive a discount in TOD metering schemes, but outside of those hours, the rate is very expensive. My weekday hours are 11 PM to 9 AM.
2. I arrived home from a trip a couple of days ago with 10% charge. My normal charge maximum is 90% (AWD ER).
3. When I plugged in for my overnight charge, the car started charging immediately (at the expensive rates). I was confused as the car is only supposed to charge at home during preferred rates.
4. It turns out that the car would have been unable to charge to 90% during the allotted off-peak hours, so it was gobbling expensive energy to try to get to 90% by 9 AM.
5. I had to manually adjust the max charge to 75%; then the next night went back to 90%.
So this feature would have enabled all of this automatically and prevented any charging at the higher rates.
