Ford EV charger does not follow programmed charging schedules or starts charging at unexpected times.

Safety first: No internal electrical work is usually needed.

• 1. Verify time and time zone: In FordPass or the charger interface, ensure the correct local time and time zone are set.
• 2. Check for conflicting schedules: Disable charging schedules in the vehicle and only use the charger’s schedule (or vice versa) to avoid conflicts.
• 3. Test immediate charge: Temporarily disable all schedules and confirm that immediate charging works as expected.
• 4. Firmware update: Check for and apply any available firmware updates that may fix scheduling issues.
• 5. If time drifts significantly: The internal real-time clock or its backup battery may be failing, requiring control board service or replacement.
