You certainly aren't wrong about this. I didn't mind, because in practice, the additional weekend off-peak times are during the day, so it is easy enough for me to just turn the charge on manually if I need extra time on the weekend.
Yes, this would be a great approach. It seems like they...
It is there because people want to ensure they charge only during off-peak times, obviously. If it causes trouble with the timers, they should fix their damn timers. Honestly, I'd rather I could just tell the car, charge only between these times, and forget about all this departure time...
