Also you cant set your charge limit at DCFC it goes till you or the charger stops, The car will show time till 80% but will charge past that limit if the charger allows.
App allows you to set a DC charge limit after you start the session. Lightnings have it preset to 90%.I'm sorry, but your post is a bit confusing, and I'm not sure what you are asking....
Are you saying that you've plugged your vehicle into multiple different fast chargers (both an EA and Tesla) and it just completely stops charging at 80%??
I'm not sure what you mean by "extending to 85%..."
If you plug into a DC Fast Charger, and it's working properly, the vehicle would charge all the way up to 100% if you left it plugged in long enough....
There is no extending or any other settings you would be setting in the app....
It’s not just ignorance. Some cars come with unlimited free EA charging for 2 years. Before EA implemented this, those folks would park at a charger and go shopping, eat dinner, etc. They didn’t care. Some Uber drivers with those cars would park at a charger waiting for the next fare even if their car was at 95%.That's a fair argument, and certainly understandable, especially given the ignorance of many never EV drivers, it seems....
And I should note, I would never charge more than the 80-85%, unless it was absolutely necessary, and not that busy....
But, to each their own... I personally genrally prefer to charge at chargers that don't tell me what to do and dictate my charging activities, especially at $.56/kwh, and when certain charging brands have a shoddy reliablity history, at best, lol.... ?
But if driver's aren't going to police themselves, and as long as it's advertised by the charger network in advance, I certainly don't see any problem with it...
I've been using FPL EVolution chargers lately that will charge idle fees past a time limit of 30 minutes. Seems not to matter what percent charge one is at when the 30 minute mark is hit. I could stay to 100% if I wanted to pay 40 cents/minute idle fee, which I didn't and stopped at 84%.
At Stuart at Cove Plaza. The FPL EVolution app had that message while charging. I tried to initiate through FP but it wouldn’t work that way at this charger. Other FPL stations would plug and charge.
Just because you aren't aware of something doesn't make it so.Gotcha, I see that now.....I wasn't aware of, and have never heard of this at EA chargers being limited.....
I only see a reference to 85% in your screenshot, not 80%???
In any case, to my knowledge, I'm not aware of any similar thing on Tesla's chargers, I've charged my MME at Tesla Superchargers on mulitple occassions, without issue...
It was activated and billed through the FP app at another FPL station but not this one.
He was just trying to make the distinction that a particular FP&L charger could not be activated through Ford’s Blue Oval Network and/or the Public Charging app in the car, thus he had to use the FP&L app. Recently Ford had added FP&L to the BOCN and the chargers can be used with out using the FP&L app through BOCN, apparently, except, for some exceptions.
