My truck failed to charge while plugging in last night. Haven't had that happen in ages. No new updates popped up, haven't changed the charge times in over a year. No clue what happened, I didn't even notice until I got on the road this morning and was surprised I was only at 48%. Very annoying, I removed the charge window to make sure I charge tonight.

Check the clock to make sure it's right. The only time I had it fail to charge was because the clock was off by many hours - I am assuming due to an update.

This is why I don't let the truck schedule. The truck is set to always charge, the EVSE is set to TOU window and have not had an issue. As long as the truck is plugged in it is charged in the morning...:facepalm:

That makes the assumption that your EVSE has that capability. Not all do. I just checked and I could not find any way to set that on my FCSP.

Yup our FCSP is a dumb terminal, personally I have no time restriction and only maximum SOC set for 90% in the Sync Charging App.

Are you talking about the one in the top right corner of the screen? It's accurate, or at least it is right now. I *think* it was accurate the other day but I don't pay super close attention to it. It charged right away without issue (and with full A/C running an hour later due to the heat right now). I like to have it charge late at night/early morning as the garage is a bit cooler. I might nuke the location and redo the schedule just to make sure it's good.

Although I like being able to charge at 80A, I won't be sad if/when the FCSP dies and I replace it with something better. It's been averaging 48A when I look at kWh into the battery and time it took...the settings page still says 80A. *sigh*....guess I need to flip the breaker again to reboot.
