Hi,
I charge from home and I wanted to charge the battery to 85% instead of 100%. I do direct charging but I don’t know how to set the battery to stop at 85%. Can someone let me know how to do this. Thanks.

You can set a timer and/or profile in the charging menu in the car or in the Connect app. A timer allows you to set a target charge and a profile allows you to set the times you want to charge between.

Thanks for the response. I was wondering though if I just did direct charging instead of the timer, is there a way to set the charge level.

No unfortunately there is only the option described in the post above. If you set it for direct charging and you want to stop it at 85% you have to unplug!

You do not mention the power you have for your home charger and if it can charge the car overnight. Just set it via profile or timer and it will work. If you then charge at a high power DC charger it will go to direct charge anyway.

This is actually pretty easy. Set up a "Home" profile and set the charge level to whatever you want. It will charge to that and stop.

If you want to go to 100% at some point (let's say, a trip), then turn on "Direct Charging" which will override the profile.
