Hi group, apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere....

I used to be able to use the Lexus app to start charging my 450+ immediately. I can't seem to find this option anymore.

Any ideas?

 

Personally I just use the option on the main screen before turning off the car.

 

Touch on section at top that has blue line and mileage (in my example.)


Go to Manual Charging Schedule — Start Time.

 

Once it's plugged in, you press on the range and you will see the available range and it will say plugged in, there is a button that says starts charging. It does not show up until you have the cable plugged in.

 

My app doesn't have that button — I think that might be because I have a charging schedule set in the car. I have to go through the steps I showed above to override the schedule.

 

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Mine is like Castrum's, I do not have the charge now button anymore. I used to have it; even with charging schedules set. Must have been removed by an app update.

I guess overriding the schedule is the next best option, as I sometimes forget to hit "charge now" on the main car screen when I shut it off.....

Do it for a couple weeks and it'll become a habit to tell the car (on the main screen) to charge "now" before you turn off the vehicle.
