Target Charge Setting has a mind of its own, where does the setting come from

Well, got a rude surprise today, when we went to public charging, plugged in, and the charger decided to stop charging the car at what it thought was 100%. The truck decided that 90% is the new target charge. So I'm missing a solid 50 miles of range that I actually need to get to where we're going.

I cannot find the setting on the truck screen, and the FP trash app setting won't let me change it (Android). So now I'm perplexed at how I get enough charge to get where I'm going. I have no slider in the app for the 1 time charge.

I just don't get it... I think Fords vehicle software group thinks its helping us, but each time there's the slightest change, it just gets more frustrating.

If you absolutely need 100%, I believe the one-time charge limit will do that. But charging from 90 to 100 is painfully slow, so it’s best to plan a second stop, if possible.

Thanks.. But I can't even find the 1 time charge limit setting. It wasn't visible in the FP app while charging, and I simply can't find the Charging part of Sync.

Charging is it’s own app on the “Home” screen.

As soon as you begin your public charging session take a look at the charging app on the sync APPS screen, the slider will be at the default 90% hit the + or swipe it to the right to increase the value then click save to store the new value.

Jan 1, 2024, my app reset itself and stopped charging. I plugged in after midnight this year, no issue.

The Lightning always defaults to 90% charge when using a DCFC. Why? Don't know. Our Mach-E will continue to 100% with no intervention.

Of course, the Mach-E doesn't have the option to set a one time charge limit. Very confusing why Ford's EV offerings differ so much in features.
