Hi. I use my CE-04 routinely for trips in the neighborhood of 10-25 miles round trip.
To maximize battery longevity, I try to limit my SOC for charging to 80%, unless I need more capacity for a longer journey.
BMW does not allow a user selectable upper limit for charging sessions. I set a timer on my phone and try to guess. I have the charger plugged in to a smart outlet so I can end the charging session remotely through my phone. Sometimes I can look at the charging session in real time on the BMW Connect App, but I think that only works when the phone is linked to the CE-04's onboard wi fi..I could be wrong about that.
Do you think there is any chance that BMW could offer this capability as a future software/firmare update?
Appreciate any thoughts the community might have.
