No. The manufacturer actually suggests you leave it plugged in. The charger is doing nothing once the car stops the charge. It will supply power, if the car requests it, to offset power used heating or cooling the battery, and charging the accessory 12 volt battery.

Is it possible to harm the battery post 90%?
Hi Forum Members,
I have searched on this forum and on the internet, but have not yet found the following question answered:
Will the battery on the car be adversely affected if a charger is left plugged even after the car has reached "full" with the Hilltop Reserve setting on? I am predominately interested in knowing if the battery conditioning and longevity will be impacted if, say, I charge my car from 50% to 90%, but then leave it there to run errands for another 1-2 hours. During that last 1-2 hours, is there any harm done?
I use ChargePoint.
