Anybody else getting weird estimated "Charging until" date? Plugged the MachE at a Blink charger at work this morning, Thursday 11/6. And the App on my phone says "Charging until 4:22 PM Wednesday. Ok, it is not a fast charger, but is providing 5.4KW charge rate, and should be done charging before I leave work, and not take a week of charging!
This is not the first time this has happened. Maybe I need to check the clock/calendar in the car? Kinda assumed the app would use my phone date/time, but maybe it is, somehow a day off?
Really just an annoyance, but curious if anyone else has this problem (and cares) and maybe even has a solution?

Ignoring the app, what is the car reporting?

I've seen oddly long estimates, though I don't recall something that obviously off. Were it me, I'd just let it charge figuring that there was just a glitch in the matrix.

So it’s now Thursday. Did it complete charging? That charge estimate isn’t accurate for any level. L1 would charge it at 3-4 miles per hour, so 50-70 hours maybe. I assume everything is fine or you died waiting for it to charge. Schrödinger's Mach E.

Yes it charged just fine. I guess I need to just let it go, leave my OCD behind. It just seems like an easy thing to get right, with all the tech in these vehicles, but to your point, "no harm, no foul".

Did you check the clock settings in the car? I had that, and my date was off, giving wild estimations as well.

Nope - I will hunt that down! Makes sense if this got outta wack, it would create this problem!
