I daren't charge in the dark because my car has an ultra bright flashing green light to indicate charging that is visible from the top of the street (probably from the ISS if I jacked the car up on that side) which would attract miscreants like moths to a candle. 

I know what you mean. Some 'helpful' lights in the house look quite innocent, but at night they shine or flash like the emergency services are visiting. And our Leaf has flashing blue lights on the top of the dash, to helpfully let us (and all others in our postcode) know when it's charging.

You may already have thought of this, but can I suggest a small piece of card for internal examples like the Leaf, or a bit of electrical tape over the offending light if external or small.

Thanks, but I have thought of it.

I need to see the light colour to know if it is charging/full/paused/released/just broken, so I'd need to tape it every time.

I just don't charge in the dark.

If I had to charge in the dark in an emergency I could use tape just that time I suppose.
