Thanks... That is reassuring. I will be getting mine in Summer, so I suspect 232 in cold weather will mean close to EPA predicted range in summer.Sorry. Yes 232.

It is funny. I just got a Ford pass update saying that for now you need to reset the odometer rating regularly until you have enough miles so that the car can learn your driving habits.Thanks...

If you keep resetting it, it will never learn your driving habits.It is funny. I just got a Ford pass update saying that for now you need to reset the odometer rating regularly until you have enough miles so that the car can learn your driving habits.
And personally, I'll be going a step further than that by researching every charging station I plan to use ahead of time. The EA ones are pretty consistent with power and price, so I'm not as concerned about those. But any planned stops at non-EA chargers are a crap-shoot for power levels and pricing. I'm frequently checking PlugShare and ChargePoint for more detail when ABRP recommends a charging stop.I highly recommend also mapping the route with abetterrouteplanner to compare the charging stops. Ford's NAV does not have a bias toward faster chargers the way ABRP does, although at this point EA's chargers aren't performing all that well anyway.
My guess is that between the MME being new, most dealers not having a huge volume, and there being so many models to keep track of, not all the information being sent by Ford is being processed at the dealers.- The Forum gets the info from Ford
- Dealership and Ford Help personnel get their info from Ford internal communications groups.

Something that needs improvement, for sure.
It would be crazy not to do this. Takes very little time, assuming what you mean by "research" is clicking on the reports and taking a look.And personally, I'll be going a step further than that by researching every charging station I plan to use ahead of time.
Only one thing to point out there...Ford has significantly reduced the amount of models they now produce. I'm not sure being able to track the amount of vehicles a dealer has should be a discount to them. That is their main function as a 'dealer'. They should be experts in EVERY model they carry, in my view.My guess is that between the MME being new, most dealers not having a huge volume, and there being so many models to keep track of, not all the information being sent by Ford is being processed at the dealers.
Here we are focused on one vehicle, so all the information (and then some) which is sent is received and processed.
Depends. Right now it's hard to make a case that it matters a lot in the MME unless you charge over 80%. There's a huge drop there so that should be avoided (but usually people don't charge above 80% on DCFC anyway). Few people seem to have gotten the MME into the 100+ kW range yet. Some of that appears to be cold-related, but the jury is still out on being able to get faster charging by stopping at (say) 60% in the MME vs continuing on to 80%.My guess is the biggest difference would be that people would try to make as few stops as possible, whereas the route planners will know that more stops will be faster because of the charge curves.

And even bigger crap-shoot is destination chargers (like hotels). Finding info on them (power, price, quantity, controlled access) is sometimes a real chore.
I sure wouldn't rely on FordPass alone to just lead me. It's probably a decent starting point but too much unknown for me not to pre-verify each (non-EA) charger.
On Ford Pass I limited chargers to both EA and ChargePoint. You can select every kind and even free but I am staying with ones that appear to be large and a recommended vendor so I can use my $250 dollars or whatever it is. I did find out that I have to sign up with the EA plus plan for $4 monthly to get the cheapest rates.And personally, I'll be going a step further than that by researching every charging station I plan to use ahead of time.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you use the ABRP APP on your phone it can take into account realtime charger status while driving, but I don't believe it can get realtime status of your car's SOC. I also don't know if the APP is carplay compatible or not; I don't have an iphone.Question. I tried that but does it have real world accurate info on when to stop??? There is a problem with ford pass in that to do ALL of the functions like even key use apple car play has to be disconnected.
Yep. 250 kWh free (~$100 on EA). After you use that up, it's unclear exactly what happens. We're still trying to get an answer from Ford on whether FordPass will pick up that discounted EA Pass+ rate automatically or not. You may be one of the first to test it.On Ford Pass I limited chargers to both EA and ChargePoint.

But, it will learn that you are spasmatic and like to button mash ?If you keep resetting it, it will never learn your driving habits.
Plugshare is starting a new trip planner. I find the reviews and the fact that it has chargers I need mapped that ABRP does not it just works better for me and do not use ABRP too much planning. I think ABRP may show up in apple auto not sure. The planning is half the fun.And personally, I'll be going a step further than that by researching every charging station I plan to use ahead of time.
