## Notes

This endpoint will return a [`CHARGING_PLUG_NOT_CONNECTED`](/errors/api-errors/vehicle-state-errors#charging-plug-not-connected)
error if the OEM is unable to provide a charge limit unless the vehicle is plugged in.

**Ford and Lincoln**<br />
If a vehicle starts charging as a result of a [start charge](/api-reference/evs/control-charge) request, this endpoint will always return `1` if the charging location has a schedule in place.

For the vehicle to respect its charge limit, please set one along with preferred charge times or clear the schedule through the [charge schedule by location](/api-reference/ford/set-charge-schedule-by-location) endpoint.

**BMW and MINI**<br />
Vehicle needs to be on OS Version 8+
