Free charging at Electrify America all Labor Day weekend

[timbop]

I read it as the early notification is for pass+ members to know to wait until friday to charge and/or set up a road trip for the weekend. The charging is for everyone, just like they've been doing on holiday/special weekends for a while now. They've done it for Earth day, memorial day, independence day, and now labor day.

I was expecting this. It is pretty much expected at this point that it would be free, so far this year holiday weekends has meant free charging,
Which is great because gas tends to go up in price.

I totally expect this to only go on for so long. Eventually EA will stop doing this.

Didn't get the email, but also saw the same promotion posted on Twitter by EV Shift. So it's for Pass+ AND for "all customers"? Why not just saw free for all and save us the confusion!

It is for ALL customers, but only Pass+ customers got the heads up email.

Just saw this on FB. Did anyone here get this email?

What a bummer I should've had my car by now oh well

 

[mwsno]

Too bad I don't have a car to use this weekend. Maybe next year eh...

EA came out with this free offer a few days too soon! We leave on Tuesday 09/07 for Texas so no free charges on our 1500+ mile trip!

I guess I can go to our local EA spot on do a full charge this weekend. Right now our Mach-E is at 45% so I guess I'll wait until Monday then take it for a free charge ?

This.
Exactly what I gathered the second time around reading it. Once again, Tim in FTW! ?

Thanks for posting @ChasingCoral

We are currently at 85% so it may not be worth it to drive 25 miles to get to the closest EA station! Lol

I plugged in today as a non-member and my account was debited from my “free plug&Charge allotment.”

Even better, starting at 15% I charged for 32mins and received 18kWh. A blistering speed of 34kW. Pathetic. I want my credits back. Ugh.

If you want free EA charging you may need to initiate the charging session with the EA app.

You need to drive in a 100 "Quality Mile" circumference circle to the charger... Thus you'll have certified your Mach-E and have need of the charger...

I’ll try that next time. I called EA this morning and they verified the promo started at 3am EST and applies to everyone. They told me it should not debit my Ford account as long as I don’t initiate through FordPass. They me I should just plug the car in, which is what I did. They’re looking into the issue.

I also tried calling Ford but that was a total circus. First I tried regular customer service, but was told I needed to talk to the marketing department. Then I was on hold for about 30 minutes with the marketing department only to be told that I actually need to talk to Ford Pass. Each time I am being “transferred,” I am actually just being dumped back into the regular call center cue where I have to talk to the computer! So then I get through to Ford Pass, and they tell me I actually need to speak to Blue Oval Charging Network. They give me a number to call (833 344 4375) but also transfer me…. And I end up back in the regular cue again. So I hang up and try the number I was given, and I end up in the regular cue again. When I tell the computer I am trying to reach Blue Oval Charging Network… it send me back to Marketing. I gave up.

That is a defective charger. Switch to a 150kw charger. We had that speed at Huber Heights, OH.

Got screwed again! EA Ford deducted 23 from my account on this free day. Come on @Ford Motor Company ! Ormond beach Walmart EA. Also, prod pass app stopped working 7 hours ago, signed out and back in, doesn't know me. WTH!
