So.....last week after a road trip to Montreal I was lamenting the fairly large gap in the list of DCFC networks in the Ford Navigation App. No Ivy at ONroute rest stops, no Petro-Canada, and weird suggestions to cross in to the US from Canada to charge.

Today I came back from the same trip and decided I'd let the Navigation App plan my return (which I never do) just for sh*ts & giggles.

To my utter astonishment it routed me to all the ONroute chargers I had in mind anyway. Which don't exist in Navigation when you search. WTF?

How is this possible when they don't come up when searching for "nearby chargers"? Which in my defence is the only way I've ever used Navigation - I've use ABRP for route planning.

So.... @Ford Motor Company sorry for throwing you under the bus last week, please accept my apologies.

You can take me off the OTA Black List now :cool:

You need to set the Nav app to look for the chargers you want. There are several options that you need to activate to see all chargers. These are two that may have prevented them from showing up:
  • Ivy is not on the Ford Network, so turn that off
  • Ivy are mostly 100kw so you need to activate that level in the filters for them to show up

I'll take at look at the first suggestion - I do use the "power level" filter. Thanks!
