My wife and I picked up a new Rav on Sunday, and on Sunday night and Tuesday night we plugged it into our GE Wattstation and set it to charge based on a departure time of 6 the next morning.

The Monday morning charge worked fine, but the Wednesday morning charge did not -- for some reason, the car initiated the charge around 5 a.m., doing only an hour of charging before the scheduled departure time.

Has anyone else experienced something like this?
 
The charging schedule software is a problem that pretty much everybody is complaining about. I set mine for a 6 am departure and it started at 9:25 pm the night before and finished at 3:05am , about 3 hours too early and cost me 2.5 hours of semi-offpeak electricity when it should not have had to start until roughly midnight at my offpeak rate. On Tuesday, it didn't charge at all and I was home and plugged in at 8:30pm. So, yeah, Toyota needs to fix the bugs in the charging timer. :x
