We met some companies at the Detroit Auto Show that are working on wireless charging. Just pull into your garage and it will be set to charge.
I do *not* want to be exposed to that EM field. ??

Okay, admittedly, this is me forgetting.
But how often have people forgotten to plug in your Mach-E and found it uncharged in the morning??‍♂
Yes, stupid, but I intended to go out again, so I didn't plug it in; plans changed, forgot to do it....

It would be GREAT if you could set something that after (you get to pick) 9 pm if the car wasn't on the charger, it would text or alert you.

Personally, this would be much more helpful than Ford worrying about a new touchscreen game or YouTube.
Set an alarm on your phone, problem solved.

My fordpass app popped up the other day when I was at work and suggested I plug in. Too bad ford cant message those who were using the chargers at the time and tell them.

As for reminders, I would have ignored it last night; I would have thought I had plugged it in. Hence a "you're not plugged in" alert (not a reminder) would have been the preferred method.

Thank you for sharing the location of the option in the FordPass app; it indeed didn't work, it was already on.

I didn't know that my ChargePoint charger also has a similar feature (now turned on).
THANK YOU!

I guess we could get into a philosophical debate surrounding reminders, reliance on them, laziness around the entire topic - or you could just allow me the ability to make a comment about how alerts seem to be broken and move on?
The FordPass Alerts are broken, and reminders are inherently different than alerts. Reminders are just alarms, and don't consider much of anything, like your wife taking the car and not plugging it back in or something going wrong. Just because we're rooted in our cars being dumb as rocks doesn't mean we can't hope for more.

What if - now hear me out - what if you were planning on getting a vasectomy anyway?
