Ford Charging Point & Ford Charging Station App

[Rex]

Has anyone made these two work together?
I have a scheduled call with someone in the USA to try and get them to work together.

You’re sure you’re talking about the wall-mounted Ford Connected Charger and not the charger they included with the car, correct? When I was speaking with the guy who orders the Mach-Es at the dealership, he asked me if I knew the difference (I did) because he’d already had half a dozen people call him and complain that they couldn’t see the charger that came with the car in the FordPass app.

The FordPass app will work with the $700-ish charger that Ford sells separately that gets hardwired. It doesn’t do anything with the travel charger they give you in the trunk.

Yes I know the difference and it is the 7.4kW Ford Wall charger which talks to the Ford app but then immediately forgets it has done so.

PS It took me from Feb to September to get my charge point fitted but it still doesn't work properly as my mains voltage is too high and causes it to trip out. However once I get it going it stays on as the line impedance is sufficiently high to drop the volts into the unit's "safe" level.
