I use the same but it seems to slow way down from overheating. A 20->80% charge would take all night in that setting (and not finish before I’d have to leave again).

FMC mobile, it had worked okay for me thus far. Good enough not to want to buy a different one.

Is there some way to set completion of charge at a certain time? I get the preconditioning in Ford Pass, and departure times, but in preferred charge settings for a given location, it doesn’t look like you can set percentage for a specific day. I guess you just have to select “charge to 100” about an hour or so before you leave to have the car not sit there at 100 percent?

No.

Just charge to 100% the night prior.

And going down to 10% or less weekly is fine.

Mustang Club of Maryland Carolin Mountain Cruise tomorrow. Lots of ponies driving through Leaf-peeping country. I’m charging to 100% now.

You’re overthinking this, really.
Set location “home” to charge to 90%. If you want more, tap the “charge to 100%” button. It will only be at 100% for a couple hours. That’s not a big deal. When you get home with 20 or 30%, plug it in again. It’ll charge back up to 90%.
Worry less and enjoy it more.

You are overthinking this. Just try with your current charge setting of 85% and see how it goes. Frankly, if you have 30%, you should be fine to get home 55mi with no problems.
