So, last night I put my truck on the (Stock) charger (220v), not an issue. I've been driving basically the same rout to the hospital every two days for a week & a half, about 45 mi round trip. I plug in, in the eve and the truck charges after 9pm. Typically I use 19.5 to 20.5 kWh to charge it. Last night the app says I used 62.3kWh to charge up 40 miles on the GOM. WTH! SMH wish they would get this stuff straightened out before release....Guess I need to get an aftermarket power monitor installed, so I can keep track of the trucks power usage. Currently getting bout 2.3 m/kWh

What % did it charge to. I noticed recently that it has been defaulting to 100% even though I have it set to 85% in the schedule. If it tried to charge in the upper end of the battery it will be less efficient and require more power.

FP 5.x.x has given me a few erroneous reports about charging data, hopefully it's fixed in future updates.

SOC charging Went from 73% to 90%, typically 19.5 to 20.5 kWh in that time. Have 4 or 5 other times where it went from a similar SOC with the same 19.5 to 20.5 kWh usage and yes, my app dropped the Target Charge rate from 90% down to 50% by itself...didn't notice it until it had been charging for 45 minutes...sketchy...

I was doing some work in my garage today, knowing that my truck was already fully charged 90%, when I suddenly heard the unmistakable clunk of my charger kicking in. Opened the app and it said that it was at 90% and would be charged to 100% at a specific time. First time I've had this happen, but I was not impressed! I set a charge limit for a reason!

I had posted this picture a while back. Showing that I put almost double the amount of energy into the battery as it is capable of holding. My thoughts were maybe that I had gotten an OTA update that expanded my battery.-LOL

I was hoping that by letting my charge History wait for a few days it would correct itself and I get the true value. . . NOT

Pull into hotel after driving 8 hours and all of a sudden Ford Pass connectivity is back. Crazy times.
