Has anyone else seen this kind of estimate? I plugged in this morning (Thursday) at home on a 40 amp charger. The estimate to complete is Sunday! This is not the first time, but not every time.

Do you have special hours & days setup in the truck for charging to avoid high cost times?

Yes, I've noticed other odd-ball data on this display
Two concerns, what is your window of charging set for?
What type of EVSE are you on, FMC @ 240v?

No, I’ve got it straight up to charge when i plug in. Whether i set the limit to 80% or 100, I’ve seen similar results.

Yes I have seen it often since the last app update. I do find it entertaining when my normal session is less than 10% and it tells me it will be done in two days. I just laugh and move on as it is done when it is supposed to. 😂🤣

I’m pretty sure it takes longer to charge in that 90 to 100% percentile then from like the 20 to 80% percentile. That may be the case? Which charger are you using? I haven’t installed mine yet interesting to see you only get 8kwh

I'm using an Emporia 48 watt, but set to 40 watts due to the breaker I have. So, 9.6 should be my norm, and what I see most of the time. I think it's just weird math being used. Perhaps the initial flow is so low and it does the math, then fails to adjust as the charging speed changes during the session.

No, the APP is just screwed up, looking forward to next major release to clear out a bunch of these weaknesses.

Note: the charging rate from 90 to 100% slows substantially, but under this range it's consistent assuming the EVSE does not have issues.

Thanks for confirming the app has issues. I've seen similar. Last night's charge that completed at 9pm didn't show up in the log until 9am this morning... even after refreshing the app several times.

That is a server based issue, for several months they have been collecting the data but not releasing it for viewing until afternoon / early evening, weeks ago I had to wait until the following day to see the results, maddening.

Nobody else had the heart to tell you, it’s already Sunday. Thursday was several days ago..

There are a few glitches on this screen. If I set the truck to charge to 100% outside of the normal charge window, it also gives me goofy readings. Not only is the Estimated Finish time off, but it doesn't give me details like Charge Rate or Energy Added. I know it is charging properly because the SOC is climbing as expected and the Distance Added is also climbing as expected. I've just learned to calculate the time in my head and add a bit of a buffer. Hopefully, Ford will fix it in the next release.

Yep, mine was odd too. Ford has a lot of work to do to make their software better. They are way behind Tesla.
