Ah, but won't your dealer give it back to you 100% charged?

Drive the heck out of her then recharge!

or charge it home for $5
This is only a deal if you planned a long trip

The body shop is not part of the dealership. It's the bodyshop they recommend and work with closely, though.

I dunno, that's a question for @Kamuelaflyer more than me. ?

I don't have a home charger (been using a free Volta nearby since I don't drive much during the week). So will definitely take advantage of this - thanks for posting!

I think it’s a great idea! Everyone should pay the same as I pay for EA charging!

What's the over/under on how many of the EA charging stations are actually operational tomorrow? Considering my experience so far with EA in Michigan, I'm going with "30%."

Will go to my nearby Walmart with EA DC charge at 900pm

Oops. I just charged back up at home last night. Coulda saved $5 if I’d waited two days.

Fun idea for EA. Good for them. Even though I’ve never gotten P&C to work and Ive had problems even starting a charge through FordPass, I have always been SUPER impressed by EA itself. Their customer service, which I’ve had to call several times, is top notch.
