Charging Question

[mustangn00b]

I've got my MME set to charge to 95%. But when I get in the car in the morning it almost always says 100% on the dashboard. Is this 100% actually 95% of 100%? Or is my car not stopping the charge process at 95%?

It's charging to 100%.

You need to set a home location AND not check "charge when plugged in".

In the car or on my app?

Either, but car is probably easier.

This should work, right?

When the vehicle is set to "will charge when plugged in" it will not stop charging until it reaches 100%.

If you want it to stop at 95% or some other limit, you need to change it to only charge within scheduled times.

If you don't really care when it does the charging, then you might try setting it to 23 hours of allowable charging, with one hour off for good behavior.

Judging by the screen shot.....
The car will charge when plugged in and will stop at 90% which would be around 9:47 pm. We can't see if a schedule window is set so it could be anytime or inside the window.

Looks like the OP has it set correctly to me. I have my car set to charge anytime during the weekends but only to 90% so setting a schedule shouldn't matter here. Does your car behave differently?

I've always used the scheduled times feature so I'm not sure. But @hybrid2bev and others have helped a lot of people out with the problem of charging to 100% while in "charge when plugged in" mode, even though the user's preference is to charge to less than 100%. It's either a confusing UI or a misbehaving one, I think?

I'm surprised yours works correctly but maybe it's because you've go the M-F schedule set up (as opposed to none).

Yes. For Home location, I currently have it set to charge weekdays 11pm to 7 am and weekends are anytime. 90% limit.

At Work location, I have it set to anytime weekdays and weekends to 80%.

Oh wait.....I think you are talking about the setting in FordPass. Yes, if "Charge when Plugged In" is selected then it won't use the preferred charge settings.

That same phrase in Sync is different.

Yeah. Super confusing.

Thanks guys. It stopped at 90% last night. I think it’s set up ok now.
