FWIW my other EV is a modelY and thats how it works. Can set the charge start time. The other setting it has is for charge rate at home. This is also good for people wanting to charge from solar. Would like to be able to have the car only pull 6kwh when solar is producing that, so car doesn't pull from the grid to make up the rest.

Looks like the software only allows you to set the charging end time, not the start end.
I was going nuts to find the start time charging so that I can set it to charge when the power company has the best rate.
On the screen: "Your vehicle will determine the best time to start charging ready so it's ready by the selected time"
Therefore the vehicle software will set the start time, not the users.
Honda should update the software to allow users to select the charging start time, not the end time.
Anyone has faced this problem?

At the HondaLink app shows you the length of time required for charge to your percentage change the percentage to equal the time of your charging window.

Luckily for me, my charging window at $0.31 is from midnight, until 3pm daily. So, that allows me plenty of time to check on the charger and adjust accordingly. I get home from work around 11pm and I can start charging an hour later. Charging should be complete by 3ish am, about the time I start heading to bed. So, I should be able to monitor and ensure things go smoothly.
I already started noticing the juice box charger app, isn’t all that actuate. You have to set the current battery capacity and the ending. When I set the charger to turn off at 80% per the app, the car was only charged to 77%.

You have to get to the Charge Setting window (Page 104 in the manual). You get there by hitting the gear shaped button at the top right of the charging window (Hit Charging on the Home window to get to the charging window). You have to move the charge setting window up to see Preferred Charge Time. You hit the Preferred Charge Time and it brings up the window where you can turn on schedule charge times for weekdays and weekends. You can then set start times and end times for Off Peak Electricity rates.

Welcome @jsimard3! Do you currently have a Prologue? If so what spec is it?

Yes!!! It doesn’t make sense! We also have a Tesla and it is so easy to do in that car!

I always wonder why Tesla owners buy something other than a Tesla. I always figured that it must not really be that great of a vehicle especially if folks are willing to leave over a decade of trying to get it right for an unproven contender.

Thanks, I thought I was the only one. If you love a Tesla then go buy one. This isn't a Tesla and I'm 100% happy it's not.

An electrician is installing a 220V plug directly from my garage's 30-amp breaker box. He only needs to run it 3 feet. I opted for a portable charger with both 110V and 220V plug in options. I average 9k miles per year, and he's charging me $200 for the installation. Is there anything I should know or be concerned about?

the portable charger draws 32A on 220v. You cannot run it in a 30A breaker. It must be installed on a minimum of 40A breaker.

you could run it on 110v only, but that would be slow.

The Honda manual states that you can plug the 220v adapter into your dryer outlet. The electrician is connecting it to the same 30-amp breaker the dryer is on?
