So long story, but the short is my mach-e has been in an out of the dealership for the last few months diagnosis some software issues regarding OTA. Ford finally decided to replace the APIM module and had it programmed off-site and shipped to the dealership pre updated to install. Not sure exactly what the updates were but seemingly tucked inside was an increase to my charging speed over 80%. Yesterday I fast charged going to visit family and we were still pulling between 40-50 kw/hr up to 90%. I was completely surprised and extatic. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this yet, but hopefully this isn't a bug and is here to stay!

That is fantastic news!! Can't wait for this!

By any chance are you able to test if battery preconditioning has been added as well? Assuming it's now cold where you live, would you be able to try navigating to a DC fast charger via the built-in maps and see of there are any notifications about battery preconditioning on the way? Also, are there any new options in the vehicle charge menus within the infotainment that might hint at battery preconditioning?

Thanks in advance! ?

@Mach-E VLOG time to visit your dealer and get Blucifer updated! I need content!!

Now we just need someone to figure out if the 10-80% has also been changed.
I have an appointment for Monday morning for them to take a look at the brakes, but hopefully they can do this too.

Nothing about pre conditioning in the infotainment system, maps, or app unfortunately :/

It seems to go above 90% as well, I didn't snag a photo. It today I was charging and it stayed at 40kw all the way and into 90% where I finally unplugged

I don't think he'll be able to properly test that in Colorado until the spring. Even if they changed the curve, at this point the weather is cool enough he won't see any improvement.
