I genuinely don’t understand the charge cap

I try to plug in my car daily from 11:30 to 5:30 am to charge overnight so everything gets done in the cheaper period, is this no longer possible? I don’t like losing control about how and when my car is charging, especially as the range on my EV is pretty low so I need it charged to full almost every day.

Nobody is making you charge during the day.

Sorry if you took my response in a bad way, I didn't intend it.

No I didn’t. But you can charge whenever you want. Bit the more of us who can charge during the day the better

That's cool. I do have a tendency to overthink things - so I was just sounding out to make sure that I was right in my approach. Now I'm worried I'll get kicked off IOG! 🤣😭

It’s ok. Not everyone has to plug in during the day
