Mach E gets stuck on “starting charger” sometimes when it attempts to automatically charge during preferred charge times?
This is a relatively new issue. I’ve owned the car for over a year and I charge at home. Now, over the last week, there have been two times when I wake up in the morning only to find my car did not charge overnight. When I open the app, it says “starting charger.”
If I go out and unplug it and plug it back in, it begins charging just fine (since it’s still within my preferred charge times).
I only have my preferred charge times set up in the ford app, not on my home charger’s app. I use the grizzl-e mini.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening suddenly?
