The last few weeks, when I plug my 2021 MME into my home charger (240V) Ford Pass shows that it will take almost 2 days to charge to 85% and that it's charging at between 3 and 7 KW. But then the next morning, it's fully charged.
Has anyone seen this problem?

Yes, I have the same issue. Dragging my feet about finding a better charger to remedy this issue. (Assuming it's the FORD charger which my FORD dealer checked and said it works fine....). Are you getting an amber light and using FORD charger??? If so, it's not charging properly IS MY UNDERSTANDING.

I have seen the predicted finish time be way off. But only sporadically. Even at 3 KW, you can charge an ER from 10 to 85% in about 24 hours or a bit less.

The amber light on the Ford Mobile Charger means the charge rate is being limited due to overheating. Solid amber means the EVSE itself is overheating, a flash means the plug on the AC cord is overheating. An amber light on the EVSE is generally not indicative of a problem with the car.

Not using the Ford charger. Just a 240V I had installed. Light is blue when I plug in.
24 hours to charge is not acceptable. It used to charge in half that time.
Actually it does end up charging much faster. It’s just the Ford app that tells me it will take 2 days.

Yes, at times the Ford app doesn't predict charge completion accurately.
