For me, that's just when I'm usually done using mine and I plug it in. If I go to the store or, hockey practice after work I come home and drop it on the charger. Normally it's two plus hours to top it off. Here I don't need to bother scheduling the charge for later since the per/kw rate is the same regardless. Don't know if it gets cheaper in California off-peak though.
I know range anxiety figures in with a lot of peoples charging habits though. I always want a full charge, and leave it plugged into the wall all of the time like the manual says. But my wife will drive the thing down to 20 miles before she charges it.
