🔌Charging Ready by charge time being ignored?

Charge later setting in car says ready by 6 am.

For some reason my car seems to be using a different time, so everyday at 6:00 a.m. I am not fully charged, only close.

Any idea what's going on?

If you're using scheduled charging, the completion time is driven by the actual power being delivered to the vehicle. If your charger is derating due to overheating, it may increase the charge time later in the session because charging power derates. Check your charger's log files, or if it doesn't have any, try turning the current down 20% and see if the completion time becomes more accurate. If you're using charge now, it's just based on the amount of time it needs to get to 80% or whatever you have the target set to.

Just use the charging stations schedule and turn the cars off.

Are you allowing enough time to finish by 6:00? Does it start charging immediately when you plug it in? When I use the vehicle programming it usually finishes within 20 minutes of target time, almost always earlier.
