Being as we are the first to try these vehicles out.... it's naive to assume we won't have issues I guess.

Plugged it into my Grizzle Duo charger last night, battery was at 42%. This morning, the battery is at 41%. (it went backwards?!?)

The grizzle Duo can charge two cars at once, and my other vehicle charged successfully, so I'm thinking the charger is not at fault.

Anybody else have such an issue?

My wife's KIA Sorento PHEV does something similar the other overnight: I have it set to charge from 11pm. It had done that successfully for several nights since we started that routine. During a rainstorm and loss of satellite TV the other night, I played around with the KIA App. I attempted to start the charging right then from the APP, at about 8pm, just to see if it would work. It never was able to connect to the car, due to "possible issues with low cellular service, please try again later".... o.k., no worries, it's not a big deal.
Well, turns out it WAS a big deal. Apparently what I had done, playing with the APP, was to 'disconnect' the planned 11pm charge schedule, accidentally. The next morning, you guessed it, the car had 0 battery level, just as it was left the night before. : / I won't mess with the 'APP' anymore, as useless as it really is.

I'll bet that your truck went into it's Charge SCHEDULE mode, attempted to see power, saw no power from the EVSE if it happened to be still charging the other car, and simply skipped the charging session.
Or, the EVSE may only provide dual power at the same START time for both...who knows.
Or, the charging draw to the Lightning required more amperage than the EVSE could provide to both vehicles, at the same time, so it defaulted to the other, which may have been charging first, etc.

Yeah. I have my charge schedule on the truck set to stop at 7am. Went out at 6:50 and un-plugged, then plugged it back in. It charged successfully for 10 minutes. The good old "Linksys router" trick.

Luckily I still had about 80 miles on it. Enough to go get coffee and take my dog out to where we do our morning walk, and plenty to spare. I might try to take a long lunch break and hit up a fast charger and see how long it takes to put 100 miles on it.

Happened again last night. woke up, and it never charged.

For today, I've got a few hours before I need to drive, so It's currently charging (zing!)

Made a change the the charge schedule, and It's going to attempt to charge itself 1 hour before the other car does. Let's see if that makes a difference. I'm on a road trip today, returning tomorrow. So we shall see.

Just so everyone knows, the Mustang Mach E frequently "forgets" its charging limits and other charging information for the session following an update. Usually it remembers again the next day but sometimes the GPS information of a saved charging location has been lost. Ford has been working on fixing that, so hopefully the 3.x series will be the last time we see that problem.

I took my Lariat SR from Concord, NH to Foxborough, MA yesterday to watch the Patriots play a preseason game. I left home with just under 90%. On the way back, I made my first stop at a fast charger (the Electrify America in Salem, NH) and the truck went from 22% to 65% in 21 minutes. I'm impressed by how quickly it charged!

One detail I left out — on the way home, I used the truck's map to find an EV charging station nearby. There was one .7 miles away, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Pulled in and it was a ChargePoint Level 2. 🤨

Maybe there's a way to filter by charge speed and availability, but it wasn't obvious as I was driving.

Yes, there is. When you do a search on chargers it defaults to “All Chargers”

You can pick the charging speed you want by choosing faster or slower lightning bolts

That said, I think setting a minimum would be more helpful than setting a maximum. At least the fastest is listed as 100+ kW.

That's really good to know. It was right in front of me, but I didn't think to tap those icons while I was driving. I should have explored it while I was parked. Thanks for pointing that out!

The issue of not charging seems to be resolved. It charges successfully now. Given it's proximity to the 3.4 update, that's what i'm attributing the root cause to.
