What is the difference between cost-optimised charging and the "Charging in time frame" function in my MINI?

The "Optimised charging" charge mode automatically plans and carries out the cost-optimised charging function via a compatible electricity supplier or a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) provider.

If you wish to charge without a compatible provider, you can manually set your preferred time frames for charging using the "Charging in time frame" charge mode.

The main difference is that, with cost-optimised charging, the charging is automatically managed by a compatible provider, whereas with the "Charging in time frame" function, you set the charging times yourself.
