Feature Request: Let Me Set A Schedule For Target Charge

[MellowJohnny]

My daughter has recently begun a Master's programme at a University about 160 km round-trip from home. She only has classes two days a week, so will be commuting in the Mach-E.

So twice a week I need to remember to reset the Target Charge from 80% to 95% (because I'm a Dad and I worry) which is a bit inconvenient.

@Ford Motor Company it would be great if I could schedule my target charges just like my departure times.

What do you think?

If you haven't yet - you should send this via the Feedback "app" on the main screen in the car.

They could just open up more APIs in FordPass so people can do whatever they want with smartphone shortcuts.

The Tesla app for example lets you set target charge level, start and stop charging, on top of the usual lock and unlock, start/stop climate commands. So you can use Siri Shortcuts to set all kinds of custom automations.

GM EVs have this feature, you can set a different target charge level and a different departure time for every day of the week. The target charge is reached at the departure time. I actually set my weekday and weekend target charge levels differently.

not quite the same thing but I would like to have a CONVENIENT way to set the charge limit on the class of charge session IE level 2 80% and have it go to THAT no matter the charger I am plugged into
Tesla it is on the CHARGE screen and an easy drag to select

They did this for 2025 models

nice maybe they can retroactively add it to pre 2025 models like Tesla adds features to existing models where possible

I'd just set the AC target charge to 95%. It won't hurt the car.

Yep, but I'm a software guy so when I see a feature enhancement that can be done I can't resist...
