So early last week I got a few updates and since then I noticed significantly slower level 1 charging.

Also my estimated finish times are now always way off. The app is always showing a finish time of 2-4 hours from plug in time no matter how low the charge is.

Has anyone else experienced this? I've attached 2 before and after pics from the charge logs.

22 SR RWD. Oct 22 build. About 9k miles.

EDIT: Wrong battery

Level 1 charging will only add about 1.5% per hour to the standard range battery.

Level 1 is limited to 12A or about 1 kW into the battery.

Thanks for the reply. The first photo is how fast it normally
charged since I bought it last November.

I've always used the Ford mobile charger.

With an SR battery, it should add more like 1.5% per hour.
The 1st pic seems close to that.
2nd pic is about 1/2 that speed.

Oh whoops, I did calcs for extended range. Yes 1.5% per hour is expected for SR.

So OP, looks like your charge rate dropped from 12A to 8A. This could because the mobile charger is failing, or because the on-board charger detects an excessive voltage drop in your circuit.

Good to know, thanks!
