Please forgive me if this topic exists already. I've seen this in the past here but now I can't find it via search.

See screenshots below. I have the preferred charge times set for off peak hours between midnight and 2 pm but the truck is illiterate and waits to charge until 2 pm- the complete opposite of what I want. So then I reversed it in the app and still it waits to charge until 2 pm.

I deleted my home location in the app, cleared the cache on my phone and did a clean app install then reset the settings in my truck and still have this problem. I'm thinking the best way to solve this problem is to buy a Charge point home EV charger for $400 and set the charge times in there because the Ford software is driving me insane.

Anyone have any other advice or also having this problem? TIA

Unplug the EVSE from the truck.
Changing the start time to 1 am, save adjustments for weekday & weekends
Plug in the truck.
Any change?

Also note / photo what you see on the dash IPC it might reflect a more accurate time frame than what the buggy app is showing, photo of what it says AFTER plugging in again, you may need to open the door to wake up the display.

That 12:00 am can be a tricky one sometimes. Agree that 12:30 am or 1:00 am would be better.

Setting times inside the truck has been more reliable then the app.

Go to the energy tab slide it to adjust 10% either direction it should reset. Mine is set like yours but sometimes it will start to change as soon as I plug in. By using the slider it will adjust to you set charge time. I know crazy…
