How to pause Scheduled charging

[dirtdiver]

Hey everyone, I recently signed up for a Time of Use plan with my electric company. Ive got my preferred times of midnight to 6am scheduled and it seems to be working. A question though. In the scenario where it is mid day and I want the truck to charge up to 90%- Is there an easy way to tell the truck to charge immediately when plugged in? Or do i have to go in and delete that schedule? It looks like on the Ford pass App there is a way to tell the truck to charge to 100% but Im not sure that is what I am looking for. Im more looking for a temporary shift of the timing vs a temporary shift in the amount of charge.

By the way I have the Ford charge station Pro.

In the ford pass app you can click charge to 100% and it will start charging immediately. That way you don’t have to redo your schedule. However it will charge to 100% so you need to stop the charge via ford pass app if you don’t want to do ? charge. I do this all the time. Irritating yes ford needs to add a start charging button in addition to charge to 100%. How about also let us change our daily charge limit via the app vs one time charge. Or only giving us ? option. Craziness!

Ahhh, Thanks for the info. The good thing is that seems like a SW upgrade that they could give us fairly easily.
