Trip planner vs preferred charge settings

[JCHLi]

If I have my preferred charge settings to change overnight to 80%, but then do a trip plan and tell it I'm leaving at a certain time and want 100%, does the vehicle know to charge to 100%, or is the input on the trip planner just an input to adjust the recommended stops?

Just curious if, after planning my trips, I need to go back in and adjust the change settings each time.

Nope. Once you plug in go to the Ford Pass app and at the bottom of the screen there will be a small strip with the current status "Waiting to charge..." at the right will be a blue "Details" button...press it.

On that next screen you'll find a "Charge to 100%" temporary override...press it.

This will cause your car to charge to 100% for that charge session only. You won't need to edit the charge settings at all.

Also keep in mind that the override also overrides the times so the car will start charging immediately.

Thanks, yeah that works too, was kind of hoping it was smart enough to take the inputs (starting charge and departure time) and make the adjustment itself.

But this option works well too in lieu of actually changing the settings
