Never had an issue. It has stopped at whatever I set every single time I have charged. So the problem isn't universal.
I'm not sure that's the case with my car (Trophy). I have accidentally left the car set to 100% after a long journey and realised this after I had plugged in for the next charge. I've then gone into the app and reset it to 80% and that's where it stopped charging. So the car registered the change from 100% to 80% after I'd plugged it in.I check that it's set to 80% before plugging it in. My theory is once it has been plugged in it has started the charging programme and will ignore any other changes to it.
Mine can sometimes be like that when starting scheduled charges. It should start charging at 00.30 but sometimes starts earlier. Earlier has more than once been 10pm, which is the default start time in the app. And I have found the app has reset itself to a 10pm start on more than one occasion. I've tried all sorts of ways of sorting this as described by people on this forum, but none have been 100% successful with my car (Trophy).I also get random charging schedule errors: Charges to 100%, not 80%; starts at the wrong time (outside my cheap hours!); or simpy decides not to charge at all - like last night. I assume it's just buggy software!
I wonder if it’s something to do with battery calibration? Needs to do a full charge after a set number of cycles maybe? ?I never set the percentage in car, always via the app but sometimes it just ignores the 80% set and charges to 100%. It does this on average 1 in 5 charges, that I find the setting has changed automatically from battery health to long trip mode. I am not sure if this is a feature or just some bug.
