Interesting. My PV has a huge surge around midday, but tapers off dramatically. I would think youwould want to capitalize on this to level it out. (even fancier would be to know the weather) So an algorithm would be something like: Estimate time to charge. Calculate time to start centering around noon.
I'm guessing this would be particularly useful in California. I looked a little and tried to find this, but didn't see anything as you describe. Can you send some link or something?

Since most of the time the car knows what time it is, why not have a software option to prioritize the onboard chargers to charge during daylight hours to use a greater percentage of solar? When you have a lot of unused range anyway, you don't need to keep topping off the car during the night..you can just delay until the sun comes up. Seems a relatively simple software change that could have pretty big power considerations.
