Home Select Optimization Profile Page

The Select Optimization Profile page allows you to specify the time each day when you need your vehicle to be ready and the minimum charge you need to drive to your destinations. As soon as you plug your vehicle in, it will immediately charge until the minimum charge percentage is reached, regardless of time of day and cost of energy. After the minimum charge is reached, charging is adjusted to take advantage of time periods when energy is less expensive.

To set your charging schedule and minimum charge requirements:

  1. For each day of the week, in the field under the Fully Charged At column, type the time (hh:mm) by which you need your vehicle charged. The time can be different for different days. For example, you may need your vehicle ready at an earlier time on weekdays than on the weekend.
  2. For each day of the week, in the field under the Minimum Charge column, type the minimum charge percentage required for you to drive your vehicle. For example, if you do not usually drive long distances, you could set a lower percentage so that you can benefit from greater flexibility of charging during hours when energy is less expensive. Your vehicle is always immediately charged to this percentage when plugged in, regardless of time of day and cost of energy. This allows you to ensure your vehicle is always ready to drive. Once your vehicle is charged to the minimum level, charging is adjusted to take advantage of time periods when energy is less expensive. As with the charge time, you can specify different percentages for different days. For example, you might not drive as much on the weekend and can set a lower percentage than you do for weekdays.
