With FY2023 NEVI plans approved last Sept (2022), is there any central/official website for tracking all planned NEVI-funded charging installations and their status (state approved, permitted, construction started, construction completed, powered up, and open)? Or any crowdsourced website with...

On the Tesla side, there's a community-driven, unofficial site https://supercharge.info/changes that lists upcoming Supercharger stations with status updates of permit/construction/open/temporarily closed/permanently closed. And they indicate how many stalls and per unit wattage. Even better...

I've had my car since Dec. Wireless CarPlay has gotten much better (I think it was the 2.8.1 update or the overheating contractor OTA that made it better). Until the July OTAs, wireless CarPlay was only working ~30% of the time. Now I'd say it works ~80% of the time. Observation 1: when...

I know the Mach E can take 48A at 240V = 11.5kW for residential charging. Commercial chargers are usually on 208V. If I'm at a 208V x 80A = 16.64kW charger, can the Mach E get the full 11.5kW? Or is it limited to 208V x 48A = 9.98kW? I know it's not a huge difference. Just curious. Thanks!

Do you have (or had) EVs from other manufacturers or earlier Ford EVs? Let’s see what the phone and watch interface and capabilities are. Let’s see some screenshots!

I’ve started using Tronity for my charging session and trip information and status updates. I did the free month and I paid for this month. It’s funny because while I’m charging, I get push notifications from Tronity every 5%, but FordPass is often 3-12 hours out-of-date. @Ford Motor Company...

Ok, so on Tues, I got the OTA update for the Conector overheating fix (22S41 and 22S29). Obviously it does something to prevent or limit damage (lots of threads discussing this). I have a '21 Oct/Nov build (build 2). I am in the Ford Early Access program, but I think since the recall fix is...

One of my major concerns with getting my Mach E was the utter lack of fast chargers in NH (I live near Boston but like to hike and ski in VT/NH/ME). The two "northernmost" ones are in Manchester and West Lebanon (on the VT line). I knew this going in and buying my car in Dec. I have been...

Last weekend (mostly Friday) a ton of upcoming CCS chargers showed up on plugshare. They all say a grant was awarded in Feb 2022: I hope this is really happening. Look at all these wrenches:

FWIW, I had been checking for available software updates in the center display every time I drive the car for a while now. This seems to be fruitless. Updates that don't require the car to be offline just install automatically as soon as they are available to the car. And updates that do...

The Ford Sync release notes have been very disappointing (I say this as a software engineer). Today, I updated my Zoom Mac client. Zoom offers some good examples of how release notes should be with details on every major, minor, and patch release. Here are the release notes for Zoom 5.11.1:

I had a 30-45 minute test drive today in the GV60 Performance. I had lots of dealer issues, but I'll keep this focused on the car. Things I really really loved: Cooled seats. They were amazing. The dealer still had plastic on everything (not sure why, as this is their demo car). The seats...

I was driving home on the Mass Pike on Sunday and I stopped at the rest area gas station in Framingham/Natick to pick up some wiper fluid. Low and behold there was an EVGo station. Only one box but two parking spots. One plug was chademo though. Well, it wasn’t even turned on. It looks...

My Oct 2021 build car just got Power-Up 2.8.2. I am in the Early Access program. I'm curious what this fixes or updates? What can I look forward to? I'm most eagerly awaiting the improved charging curve above 80%. Which modules need to be updated to get that? Is that in 2.8.2? I was...

I’ve gotten the message “system off to save battery” on the center console about six times this past week. It’s been there most mornings when I start the car. I’ve had the car since December and this is the first week I’ve seen this message. I wait for the progress bar to time out or turn the...

Some times when I get in the car, the climate system has been turned to "off" (where it was on auto 3 when I left the car) and when I turn it back on the temp is set to 72º (it was about 68º when I left). I'd say if I drove the car 30-40 times this week (counting every little drive whether it...

This message showed up in the app today.

I did a quick 5 minute test on a Shell Recharge/Greenlots level 2 charger tonight. I started the charge from Ford Pass and it worked great. But where do I view the receipt/confirmation of the transaction? I don’t see anything in Ford Pass (it did show the status during the session). And nothing...

Ok, after being on the forum for a couple years, I've heard a lot about features that are or are not in certain countries. So what do us Americans not get?? I'll start... #1 my biggest disappointment for me, we do not get QuickClear (fine mesh in the windshield that clears snow and ice). I...

I'm curious. Has anyone had decent time with both a build 2 car with factory blue cruise and a build 1 car with either an OTA or dealer install of blue cruise? I have a Oct/Nov build car with factory installed BC. Are there any improvements in the OTA/dealer installed version over the build 2...
