Poll: Do You Have The Charge Assist / Public Charging SYNC App?

[MellowJohnny]

Based on the "Does Charge Assist Exist" thread I thought a simple poll to aggregate responses would be interesting. I for one thought the vast majority of us had it already. Seems not.

So, do you see the Charge Assist / Public Charging SYNC App yet?

Had it on my '22 premium, not on my '23 GT yet.

I thought it was mentioned on the other thread that it might be a USA only app. Not sure about that though.

I am in Canada and have it on my 22 premium ER since November, find it very convenient.

I have it on my 21 CART1 but not on my 23 CART1

Received Charge Assist last year during the EA beta test period where there were so many bugs that I reported them and they actually got fixed.

Very cool app to have!

Now if I can get a hold of a Tesla adapter, I'd be tickled.

So close yet so far:

I simply hate adding apps. I don't need an app to fill my ICE car with gas, so I want to be able to pull into a DCFC location, connect and charge, either with Plug and Charge or credit card. Plus, I don't want to search for a DCFC charger on my cell phone while driving, so I want chargers to be displayed on my MME screen.
Perhaps a generational symptom. I am retired!

No charge assist here....and on the latest software as well.

Anyone have a screenshot of the app icon?

Ford nav show chargers on you route.
Turn on nav, select where are you going (don't type anything just tap it), nav should give you two columns to select from. Usually half way down the second column, you'll find chargers. Select and a page of chargers in your location will appear.

Yes. Exactly what I do.
I thought the poll concerned downloading an app to cell phones. I apologize if I misunderstood.

Charge Assist/Public Charging is an app in your car's Sync 4A system, not on your phone.

That is really odd that so many people don't have the app. It's been in my car for quite some time and isn't related to any new updates. I've been using it for nearly a year to charge at two locations I frequent on road trips. Can't imagine why it isn't in all cars.

Same. I was a bit stunned at seeing so many members say they didn't have it. I hope @Ford Motor Company has a look at the poll and sees just how many people don't have it.

I am not sure what benefit the Charge Assist tool provides compared to the Navigation system. Maybe it shows a little more detail about the location (number of chargers and potentially speed) but you can filter in the Nav system the speed so I really don't see the benefit.
