I've noticed that too on the weekends when I don't have departure times set up. I'd chalked it up to temperature differences from when charging terminates at approx 1 am to when I drive it after the sun is up a while. I've only had the car two months, and haven't gotten any software update...
How would you energize the solenoids? I'd keep one side hot through a fuse, and switch the ground(s). Also consider that keeping a solenoid energized 24/7 requires a higher spec than what you've linked, if your system needed one on the main battery too.
I think all of this is more trouble than...
I told Ford all about my experience when they sent me the surveys. I don't expect anything to change. People just have to remember that their biggest weapons when buying a car is your left and right foot. Just walk out.
Shoutout to Koons Ford of Baltimore for selling me the car at the...
It's very wrong when you first start charging. After that, it seems to give a plausible time to 80% but sometimes it will guess how long to 100% and that's a crapshoot for sure. Does anyone know why it would show 80 vs 100 when DCFC? My only charge target is 85% at home.
Ford's goals are different than my goals.
and remember to change it back next week when you get home so it doesn't sit for 3 days at 100% because you forgot.

I set mine up almost identically, but you do need to set your wallbox to charge until after you leave. As I understand it, the car will only precondition the battery (useful in your climate) when plugged into the charger. Off charge, it will only condition the cabin and that's going to eat some...

These vehicles were the base of the platform that the Mach E uses. They take a group 48 AGM battery, not the H3 that our cars use.
I feel like the odds are good that the same...
