Charging at home

[Merrill]

So when I plug in my R1T at home on the screen it says charging, I have set my charging times to start at midnight on the charging screen. If I stop charging it will not start at the time I set, wondering how I get it to charge at the time I set.

I had that same experience the first time I tried to use the scheduled charging. I had stopped the charging to set the schedule, and then it didn't charge during the scheduled time.

I determined that telling the truck to stop charging overrides any other charge settings. The next day, during the scheduled charge time, I told it to start charging, at which point it finished out the scheduled charge time and then followed the schedule from that point forward.

The only problem with that is I really don’t want to get up at midnight to do that.

Why are you stopping the charge? Just set the schedule in the truck and plug it in. It should start charging when you hit the desired time.

Because I don’t want it to charge before the scheduled time, when I plug it in before midnight it immediately starts charging.

Then something is not setup right. I plug mine in at 6 and it’s scheduled to charge at 7:30. It doesn’t start charging when I plug it in at 6.

I think that means it thinks it's allowed to charge right away, so whatever you have as your schedule is probably wrong. I don't use the scheduling in the R1T and don't actually know what the screen looks like.

Not sure why that would be the case, it says start charging at midnight in the charging set up.

Also, if you set scheduled charging. You have to set it where you intend the schedule to take place. So maybe disable scheduled charging. Make sure you are parked at home, and set it again.

When you plug in at home outside of scheduled time and it starts charging does it say "Paused away from home" If so that suggests you should do what @jollyroger suggests. If it doesn't say that then something is probably not be interpreted correctly in your schedule, you could try changing it slightly to see what happens.

If it is working correctly when you plug it in it should say "Scheduled charging begins at ....." If not something isn't right either with your setup or the software.

Did you set the schedule where you park to charge? It uses the gps location where you create the schedule as the scheduled location. I should park at the location, delete the current schedule, recreate a new schedule then plug it in, it should work then. If not you may need to reboot the screens.

Does not say that, it immediately starts charging as soon as I plug it in.

How do you disable scheduled charging.

I think you misunderstand... I only had to do that once to basically put it back on schedule. My schedule was from 3am - 10am, so the next morning when I woke up at 7, I just told it to start and it has followed the schedule ever since.

Basically, I you tell it to stop charging, it won't start again until you remove that stop command, but once it's cleared, it will charge as normal (following your schedule) until you manually tell it to stop again.
