Odd SoC arrival estimate and charging behavior

[Flying ace]

I was doing a local drive (about 100 miles round trip). On my return, I started at 50% SoC and set my destination for an EA DCFC near my house.

The navigation typically shows your arrival SoC, but for some reason it showed my present SoC of 50%. I thought maybe it'll adjust itself once I start driving a bit, but as I'm doing the 50 mile drive towards the destination, my arrival SoC increased! (see screenshot)

I cancelled my routing, set a new destination outside of range (200+ miles away), and route planning and arrival SoC estimates appears to work with this new destination. However, then when I again set my destination to the aforementioned EA charger, it's still the same increasing SoC issue.

Has anyone seen this before?!


Also, not sure if this is related. When I started charging at the aforementioned EA, I plugged in at 25%. Car preconditioned correctly, but however, when I reached a SoC of 65%, EA stopped the charge in a manner similar to when you reach full, or in this case, this station is part of congestion reduction program's 85% limit. It gave me the message to unplug (not an error message), and interestingly, EA recognized that the car was at a 65% SoC and added 31.65 kw.

Is this a known issue with the car? I'm assuming the EA incident is related...

Car is currently plugged in on my home 40 amp charger and charging and updating SoC normally.

The only way I could explain it, which is not on your screenshot, if the Charge Planner taking into account another charging stop somewhere along the way. I have seen similar situation when you set your minimum SoC setting on arrival at a charging station too high, then it will attempt to route you somewhere in between (my case was some low speed unknown charge point) to charge a little more, so you arrive at the set destination with that minimum.

Therefore, check your minimum arrival value at destination. Then when pointing to the charging stop, hit that arrow down on the right to see if it is routing you to intermediate stop to top up.

I fixed it by reducing arrival minimum to a 5% value when this happened to me driving locally a short distance.

I thought the same thing. My settings never changed, 6% minimum arrival SoC with no routing to a charger, and there were no other destinations in route planner

It's a bug and the only way to correct it is the 2 finger reset of the PCM
