This is new…

Yeah I went into charge settings on the car and re-entered some info and I think that probably fixed it since my tests afterwards worked. But ended up taking off schedule anyways since I get no benefit at all from it and now I don’t have to worry about that bug again.

Yes I'm fairly certain from other posts and my own experience that if you set the schedule on the car you'll get some funky results. When the car is set to always charge you get the best results, however this error message is common when setting it up that way with an EVSE that has it's own schedule.

So I had the same issue with the MME when I first got it. I set the car to a schedule. The problem that I think happened was that it didn't think it was at the correct location and therefore didn't charge, or it went to sleep or something else along those lines. So what I did was I removed the schedule from the car and just let the EVSE handle it. Although I get the message every day I never miss a charge now.

I’ve had that issue before bc my development is so new, so I have 2 locations with the same schedules saved and haven’t had an issue pertaining to that since. This particular error wasn’t related to geo location charging.

My schedules are set via the app bc I don’t remember to do it while in the car. This week also has changed my departure times bc of the weather.

Ok so just because I'm getting confused ... Do you have the app for the EVSE set on a schedule or you are using FordPass to adjust the schedule for the car, as in the image below?

Also when you plug in before the schedule does it says "charge paused" or does it say "waiting for schedule"?

I have the chargepoint home flex.
Charging schedule set in car
No schedule set on the EVSE

This worked with no errors from Feb 12 2021. Even after swapping from the FE to the GT, no issue. Set schedule on the car to charge to 90% 11pm to 7am.

I started having the issue at the beginning of the year. I think Jan 4th. It would only happen once a week at first. Then it happened every night for a week. I want to say I haven't had it happen since Jan 24th.

During that time, I updated my car twice with all available updates, removed and recreated my location charge settings. Cut power to the EVSE for an hour to reset it. None of it made a difference.

Then it just went back to working and has been fine since.

Yeah I think I mentioned to you offline Ben that I had so many issues doing it that way when I first got the car. I called tech support for ChargePoint and they told me DO NOT SET the schedule in the car or you will have issues. Even in the ChargePoint app it says to turn off scheduling in the car

I bet that notice in the app is because they want to make sure you don't have a schedule set in the car AND the chargepoint.

If you don't set a schedule on the chargepoint, you don't see that message.

Your solution is a just a workaround to something that Ford should be aware of to fix. It worked for almost a year flawlessly. So I expect it to go back to working. What if I didn't have a smart EVSE that I could set a schedule on?

I mean it worked flawlessly on a schedule for past 5 months. Is there any server pushed involved in scheduling? Weird that it’s changing without updates or maybe just geolocation is worse for some reason.

I have a ChargePoint Flex and it's set to charge at midnight. The car is set to charge anytime at home.

I get this message every single day without fail. I have for 4 months since I've owned it. It doesn't affect anything, it's just annoying. I assume that it happens because I plug in at around 5-8pm - 7-4 hours before charging starts.

I have a ChargePoint with similar settings. This happens to me too. I just ignore it, as I assume the car thinks it should start charging while the EVSE is holding off until late night to start the scheduled charge.

I was affected last night. Car started charging @ 4am instead of midnight??? Do you guys think it was do to 2.3 download??

Got this error last nite. No power outages etc where I live. I unplugged and replugged the charger from the car, and disabled to charge outside my normal times and it started charging. I’m kinda wondering what the issue is. For reference, I’m using the mobile charger on a 240v dedicated 50A circuit set to charge between 10pm & 5am. No issues up to this point-had the car over a month now. Kinda hoping it’s fluke error.

I have had this issue sporadically for months. I don't get a social rate for charging off-hours so the MME is set to charge any time when I'm home. It was not a non-event or just an errant message. It did not charge. One morning I went to the garage planning to drive the MME and it didn't have an adequate charge due to the failure. Luckily, my F-250 was ready to roll. Like others, I unplug and reconnect the plug for the MME to start charging as expected. I have reported the issue to Ford and hopefully, its cause is being investigated and corrected.

Maybe the OBCC update people are seeing in FDRS is connected to address the error messages people are seeing regarding charging and state of charge?

Happened to me 2 times since June, 2021. Maybe a surge in electric? I use a Wallbox with same charge scheduling features. I have no clue why it happened either. The one day I woke up for work and saw message on phone; that turned into a work-from-home day. ?

I just started getting this too this past week with my Grizzl-e Avalanche Gen 1. Schedule is on the car and it charges for a while then stops out of the blue. EVSE shows ready light but car has red ring on charge port if I hit button. Ford Mobile Charger worked last night as I had to switch it since I was getting low. Tried to calibrate the EVSE and will see tonight. Might try turning off schedule or limit but I don't want to have to remember to unplug and I like the plug in for departure prep

OBCC is the Off-Board charger control module. This is used for DC Fast Charging.

I’m having the same issue. I had 21P22 updates out on the car on Jan 31st, since then my scheduled charges are failing. Getting the “schedule charge did not begin” message a lot. My schedule settings worked fine up to the 31st.

SyncEV EVSE (UK)
Set to 00:30-04:30 charge times on EVSE
Set charge anytime to 80% on car

I’ve been to the dealer with it and they cleared an error code. It’s weird though that plugging in the car and letting it work straight away works fine. Just scheduling that’s failing. Have a call with them again tomorrow so will mention that there’s users in this forum with the same issue.
