Checked against the English BEV manual linked below. China-market reports identify the owner question; they do not establish an export defect, a recall or a guaranteed fix. Match the handbook and equipment in your car, and follow current on-screen instructions where software differs.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Open Settings → Charging → Vehicle Charging and inspect the SOC limit slider and schedule. Choose the target appropriate to your vehicle’s handbook. Charging-limit priority can let a scheduled session continue beyond its end time until that target is reached.

The China-market owner report

A C10 forum question asks why AC charging stops at 80% instead of 100%. Responses suggest settings and battery-care routines; they do not verify a failed component or establish one universal daily target.

Before you start

Use the battery-care instructions for your exact vehicle and chemistry. This guide explains the controls; it does not prescribe 100% for every day or adopt battery-health claims from forum replies.

What to check

1Read the saved targetOpen the vehicle-charging settings and inspect the SOC indicator bar. A target at the current percentage can explain a completed session.
2Set the intended limitAdjust the slider to the target called for by your current journey and vehicle-specific instructions. Confirm the new value remains displayed.
3Review scheduled chargingCheck the saved window and whether charging-limit priority is enabled. With priority enabled, charging may continue beyond the end time to reach the target, subject to power being available.
4Verify a sessionObserve charging progress and its completion message. If it repeatedly stops below the configured target, retain the session history and any warning for the dealer or charger operator.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

A target or end time may explain the stop, but changing a setting is not proof of a repaired battery. If the car reports a fault, follow that warning instead of repeatedly restarting charging.

Common questions

Does limit priority guarantee the target by departure?+

No. It permits continued charging; it cannot guarantee charger availability or power.

Should I always set 100% to solve this?+

Use the target and maintenance routine specified for your own car, not a universal forum percentage.
