So you're seeing a reduction in charging rate? I am starting to suspect the same, but I don't have a big sample size yet. Have been seeing more pronounced dips after prolonged charging; well into the 5kw/h range, which was almost unheard of before. I also saw charging go to zero briefly, also something I've never seen before. Coincidentally, it appeared to happen right around when the car was potentially crossing the 75% threshold:

Curious, where are you able to get the charging details. I assume it is from your charger unit since the jaguar app on my I-phone does not show any of these details. If it is the charger unit please give me the name of the unit. Thanks

Yes, from my home level 2 charger: Chargepoint Flex CPH50

What I saw was that the charging stopped unexpectedly at about 140 miles capacity, and I could not get it to restart charging. After multiple attempts, I decided to drive around the block and came back to another charger, and managed to get charging to restart, and all going OK for now.
As I said, it is hot here today, and the car is in the sun, so I suspect the battery may have overheated while charging, and the latest software caught that. Right now, it is still being charged, so I will see how far that gets, but it does appear to be charging a little slower than normal.

I see the reduced rate of charge while charging in the sun, during summer, all the time. I think consensus here is that it's due to the onboard charger needing to maintain a certain temperature range so that it doesn't blow.

Got the “BS” software update on my 2020 yesterday and charged overnight from 33% to 91% without issue

@Brendon : Here is one to add to your sample size. Never have seen this charging rate history before the H441 update. It dropped to 2.5 kw momentarily and then rebounded to 7.25 kw immediately. My garage was cooking today between 90 -95 degrees and the car quietly turned on fans and cooling regularly. I started at 66% and 2 hours later is when this anomaly occurred. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly what SOC it was at when it dipped dramatically.

Very interesting. It definitely seems like newer versions of the BECS baby the battery more during charging. I've had 3 different BECS updates, and have noticed increasingly conservative charging profiles with each one. With my factory software, my car would charge consistently at 7.6 kw/h and hold pretty steady. After the first update that changed, and then got more pronounced again with the update (BR) that I received about a month ago.

Based on where that major dip occurred, it looks plausible as though perhaps it happened at the 75% mark for you as well?

So I now see my BECS as BS-AAE-BC-AC-BE after the H441 update. So if the first 2 letters (BS) reflect the BECM version, what modules do the other 4 sets of letters represent? In addition, am I still behind on the newest versions available?

Charging Speed / Updates

Hi, New I-Pace owner of less than 1 week… I understood the charging to be up to 100kwh. I know there’s a lot of technicalities around that such as temp and so on. However, I found it just too coincidental that on a variety of fast chargers (different brands and ratings) - it simply refuses to...

Received OTA update to PiviPro 4.0 on June 30th, which also addresses the recall. Able to charge to 100%. Some new features with Apple Car Play/Android integration into the dash. 360 camera updates. Profiles are now labeled accounts.

 

[gtquan]

Mine's being updated OTA right now. Dealer still wants me to bring it in tomorrow to make sure it installed correctly?

How did OTA go?

 

[gtquan]

Things seem fine. Will charge tonight.

I have a 2022 model and the software was installed about 3-days ago. It appears to be charging as I expect with no issues or limitations. I'll update if anything arises but so far so good. 😅

 

[Enderle]

When my update went in my range dropped drastically but has since recovered to about where it was after the first long drive. I freaked out a bit initially but am good now.

I got the software update yesterday. Today I was able to charge from 51% to 100%. I have noticed in the past that my state of charge never shows 32% or 31%. When driving it jumps straight from 33% to 30%. Same when charging - it goes straight from 30% to 33%. I will try to run it down to 30% or below to see if the new software detects that as an issue.

Following up on my post - after the software update, I ran it down to 14%, then fast charged it to 35%, at 100 kW all that time (11 minutes of charging), ran it back down to about 20%, then slow charged it to 100%. Each time it was passing 32% and 31% much more quickly than any other % number, but no warning or any issues. Range is normal. I was parking outside for the past 2 weeks. Today moving back to the garage.

 

[sciencegeek]

I don't think 30% is the only "place" where there is some abrupt transition in the percentage estimate. I've seen it at 7% as well. I think they divvy up the voltage graph into discrete intervals and at the transitions you get jumps.

Just had the update applied to my 2019 FE by the dealership. Will see if I notice any change in behavior when charging.

I reported yesterday that I charger to 82%, 188 miles.

Went out today and the milage did not drop as I was driving 10 miles. Parked and started car again and it showed 179 miles?

Back in the car in a couple of hours and it showed 174 miles then jumped up again to around 180 and finally back to 174. For the last 5 miles of my drive it worked normally?

It seems like a lot of us are experiencing issues after the update. Hopefully it will straighten itself out.
