Yes. That’s specifically one of the features that doesn’t won’t once support is dropped.

Usually if you buy a really fancy charger it can do it in the charger side of things, but I’m not sure if that’s trickled down to low end chargers. Also as an end game for renewable energy charging can happen when there’s excess power available, and stop charging when there’s a deficit.

You don't need Internet to put charging on an hourly schedule. I've never heard of any EVs doing actual smart communicating with power stations to distribute load, it's all manual and up to the car owner to charge during off-peak hours.

Please direct me to any EVs that actually do this though, since it sounds nice.
