Can you set a timer for delayed charging - to use cheapest off-peak rates?

The charger itself does not have that ability (that I know of).The Volt does provide that functionality. I would assume the Leaf or Tesla would have that too.

Not in the GE Wattstation Charge Point. Most production EVs (Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi I...) these cars have the charger on-board. The option to delay charging for off-peak hours is a setting you can select on the car itself via the onboard system.

Hi, If you have a Nissan Leaf, you can do that. That is what I have. It depends on the car and the car's systems. The car computer and the charger talk together, and the charger just provides electricity when the car computer asks for it. There are no user settable controls on the charger. Most cars would have this feature though.

The charger itself does not have a timer. The Leaf has very good timer controls (2 timers, which day(s) of the week for each) for charging and for pre-warming the car, which can also be accessed from the internet (ie. smart phone app) as long as the car is someplace with a cell phone signal. I have not seen a level 2 charger that has a timer.

I have a Chevy Volt, the volt controls peek and off peek hours, the GE Watt Station is only a charger and works great, it is up to the car to control when it charges.

It can be set up from the accounting setting. But not sure if it is really stopping the top off charges.

I never tried to cancel the delayed timer/ Just call the company. I"m sure they can help you !

Yes it can be charged that way, though you must unplug immediately once charged because it will overcharge using that method. No, it does not have an on off switch nor a charging indicator...

I have a hi-tech peak detector charger that can safely recharge any good the battery quality NiCd or NiMh in under 15 minutes. Fast charging does not over heat the battery, over charging at any rate does. Good quality charges cost big bucks, but if time is money the at a good investment.

No, it does not have a timer. Many electric vehicles let you control the charge time from inside the car.

There is no setting and or buttons that allows you to reduce the normal rate of charging.

There is no control for discharging batteries. I don't think that's necessary anymore on most batteries. No, I'm not aware of any way to control the speed of charging.

It does not have a timer but you can buy a plug-in timer for less than $20 which will accomplish what you are trying to do.

No. This timer only gives a delay after being powered on, not when powered off.

No I use a charge controller for that function, I am making a circuit to turn the controller of at night as well.

Sure but not legally! :) As other reviewers mentioned, we also installed a new outlet at the bottom of ours and it can be controlled with a timer. Very nice set up and product - enjoy it!

it does not have an on/off timer. It regulates very well so when the full charge is reached it does a float charge so it sends just enough power through to keep it charged

No, this feature does not exist on the charger. I can control the timing of the charge through my Volt - I assume most other electric cars have this feature built in as well.

Don't know. Haven't tried that. There is a timer that automatically switches it off after 10 hours

If you mean that you want to plug a device with a battery into it at an arbitrary time (i.e., a different time each day) and have it automatically shut off after 45 minutes, then no, it won't do that.However, if you mean that you want to plug something into it at night, for example, and let the unit charge it for exactly 45 minutes overnight, then yes -- you could program it to do something like turn on at midnight and then turn off again at 12:45.

Yes this is possible. The timer includes instruction booklet that walks you through setup. Once setup it will keep your settings until you cancel
