In order to investigate why my charge efficiency in my new Mach E exceeds 100%, I did an experiment. I get more charge into the battery according to the % added to the battery in FP if I assume the specified battery capacity than comes out of the wall box. My previous Mach E was almost always...

It is my contention that Fordpass was written by software programmers that work and is intended for people that work. I am retired, no two weeks or days are the same. It means I don't have a schedule so many of the Fordpass facilities are awkward and cumbersome to use. In fact the only schedule...

I went out on the evening of the 10th Jan and noticed my wing mirrors didn't fold in on locking and the display had lost my favourites. I fixed all that but when I drove I found I was being flashed as the main beam was slow to dip. In fact the oncoming cars flashing caused my car headlights to...

I have a problem with preferred charge times in Fordpass and the car, they do not work. The car nearly always starts to charge as soon as I plug into the Ford wallbox. If I stop the charge with Fordpass and leave the car plugged in it may start charging at a random time. This means I cannot...

I was with a utilities supplier who did not offer an EV rate for night time charging. I swapped to Octopus and went to programme the preferred charge times to the times offered by Octopus. I was amazed that FordPass and the Mach-E cannot do that. The Octopus times are from 00:30 to 04:30 but the...

I collect all the data I can and have several interesting graphs. Note that things are obviously affected if I go on holiday on long journeys vs driving locally. This is on my RWD ER Mach E

The X axis is 22 months but I've had a glass of wine and cannot get Excel to show the dates :) The Miles/kWh is a rolling average of the previous 20 charges and the temp is the average around the time of charging. Most of my driving is where I know I can charge at my destination and the journey...

I have a reoccurring intermittent problem with CarPlay. I get into the car and the music starts to play from my phone through CarPlay. However I get a screen indicating CarPlay is not functioning and there is no ability to select any other app. Going to start CarPlay shows a screen that says...

I have an extension cable from https://toughleads.co.uk/collections/ev-electric-vehicle-extension-leads. I have a 25 metre cable with RDC and letterbox connector. This has served me well allowing me to charge from holiday homes. I have used the frunc as a a place to safely store the connection...

I had the tow bar fitted and it all worked well when I used it. However a few weeks later I lifted the rear "floor" and found part of the electrics for the tow bar exposed. I have asked my dealer if this should have a protective cover. I am still waiting for a reply. has anyone in the UK had the...

My car went in for a tow bar to be fitted but also some warranty items. The car had a software upgrade which took so long the tow bar is to fitted next week. I wrote this email to my dealer The MME had a big software upgrade so the tow bar will be fitted next Friday. This is an observation...

If you turn on front screen de-mist using the button next to the light control the screen de-mist comes on. When you've had enough and turn it off it leaves E-Heat, screen blower and Heated Front Screen on. Using the "soft" on off button then still leaves on heated front screen. Ford know best...

I have a steep drive and have to turn off Reverse Brake Assist to get out of my drive. Sometimes the screen is slow to draw the buttons for Auto Hold and Traction control but does draw the Additional Settings button. At this point activation of the Additional settings button turns off the...

I carefully planned my trip to Scotland around the car's range and recharging points. Before I left I realised I may have made a mistake and that was shown to be the case. My requirement for a pee stop occurs before my need to charge. So as long as the range of the car safely exceeds my...

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.

I have a Apple case on my iPhone 12 pro max. It works with the Apple charging pad. It works in the car if I carefully position it but it stops charging if the road has bumps in it ie always. Is the MME charging pad supposed to work with the Apple case?

I was on Skye and got a spanner displayed. The Ford Pass notification was (as shown) saying I had a Powertrain Malfunction. The nearest Ford Dealer said they could not help and suggested I phone Ford Assist (The AA), I did. I chap came out and was with me 90minutes after phoning. He admitted in...

At Loch Lomond I did my first Charge in Scotland using a ChargePlace Scotland (CPS) Charger. Now I am near Skye I have had the red ring of death at 4 CPS chargers. Broadford, 2*Kyleakin and Skye Toll bridge. Fortunately I can charge at the holiday home and hopefully get to Loch Lomond on the way...

I like to plan my long trips on my laptop using Google Maps. I then found it difficult to replicate that route in the car using Google Maps via CarPlay. Then I realised I could send the map from my laptop to my iPhone. Fantastic! However when I tried CarPlay would not work. When I "killed" off...
