My schedule on each weekday looks quite different, but week-to-week, it remains quite constant for long periods of time. On most days, I'm fine with 80% but on at least one of the weekdays, I need 100% ready by a certain time.

I looked all through the forums and the infotainment settings and FordPass app, but I don't see a way to set "max charge %" along with a predefined departure schedule.

I wanted to check in with you all to see if I missed anything. Basically, I want the cabin comfort/departure schedule but also with max charge %. I know that I can set the "temporary max charge %" in the truck the night before, which I am fine to do, but I believe that would cause the truck to immediately start charging to 100%. Ideally, the truck would have 100% charge ready by my departure time and not overwork the battery all night.

Am I missing anything?

You've got only one profile per x/y GPS coordinate where you frequently park and charge.

When I need a higher SOC than my routine, I adjust the home charging scheme the night before, in prior version we've noticed a bug where choosing the 100% SOC caused the EVSE to activate immediately, personally I have not worried about this overnight high SOC knowing would be burning it off on the upcoming road trip.

With FP version 4.24.2 they seem to have fixed that problem, I was able to demonstrate a change of my charging profile, only change was to go from 90% to 100%, saved it and the truck did not start pulling power immediately as was the case in the past.

Just make sure you provide a sufficient margin of time to complete the charge.
