I've noticed that on days when the car stays put and I don't drive anywhere, the e still charges for up to a couple of hours overnight.
I keep the car plugged in all the time it is at home, with the charging window from 00:30 onwards. The app gives me notifications of charging start and finish times, which is how I know it is happening.
That seems quite a lot for a top-up, to me!

The higher charge levels take increasing amounts of time. It also could be balancing the battery.

Also, doesn't the battery heater run if it's less than 0C - and it's plugged in?
