I know I would sleep well knowing my adapter had FCC certification./s Then again maybe you can sue Amazon when your house burns down.

Smart FIL, owns a Mach-E and requested an adapter, meets all the requirements Ford set out so definitely deserving. Not anyone’s job here to question how much DCFC charging they have done, putting these in hands of eligible Mach-E owners might just open up new road trip possibilities. Besides...

If you haven’t tried many SCs, you find each SC has its own set of variables, sometimes making the Mach-E charge port location a real challenge to reach and parking less than perfect. I was just at a location which had the offset SC used with bike racks, when this is on the left end you can...

Car Scanner is an app, certainly for iOS but also should be an Android version.

Thanks, an option to disable the button in the settings would be nice, I can’t win a footrace without a big head start. I also have a Rivian and it doesn’t have a charge disconnect button so perhaps it will be more secure for charging on the road.

Searched the thread for anything on theft of the adapter, do you have to stick around and make sure no one absconds with your adapter? i have never used it but from what I read you can end a DCFC session with the charge button which should allow anyone to walk away with an NACS adapter. Do I...

Unless I am reading this wrong if ordered today you can expect delivery in mid-April, which is not summer.

I didn’t want to be left out of describing by experience at a Tesla SC so I asked Claude.ai to help me out., “Write me a post for the Mach-E forum about my first charge at a Tesla SC.”. and here was the response. Here's a draft post for the Mach-E forum about your first charge experience at a...

After watching road construction work continue all winter in Upstate NY I would think this winter was one of the least hardest on the roads. But you are right about an equitable solution being needed, gas taxes haven’t kept pace with inflation and more fuel efficient ICE vehicles further reduce...

But in regard to the original question the answer is yes since they asked about vehicles officially opened to SC use.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out. Not really concerned as the Ford rollout seems trouble free so far, will see how the distribution of adapters goes.

Congrats on the new GTPE, love the color. And as of today my Rivian is itching to try out the Ford adapper, unless Rivian pulls off some sort of miracle and gets me one first.

Checkout TeslaFi and ElectraFi (for the Rivian R1S/R1T), these are possible because the Tesla API is excellent while the Rivian API is mediocre but useable and Ford’s contains even less useful data. I made a TeslaFi clone for the Mach-E but in order to be useful you need to pull data from the...

Saw this in Wired today on electricity use in Texas, how is this sustainable?

But in your case you are sharing this with yourself and not with a third party. I love Home Assistant, especially the Energy dashboard showing my solar production and energy use.

Do you know what data you gave them access to and what they do with it? It’s been awhile since I looked but besides the SoC they know your VIN, odometer, vehicle location, and many more data points.

Not if the grizzlies or black bears get there first.

Ideally you would create a separate Ford account for HA and others, if Ford blocks it your primary account still works. Not sure if this an option, Rivian makes every driver have an account so you just create an account for HA to use.

Perhaps related to this? Title is misleading, Ford seems to be limiting API access to others using your credentials you shared with them. Is Ford Hijacking Your Connected Vehicle's Data?

Just a weird thought, if I were selling new Mach-E of any persuasion, I would want to deliver each one with a NACS adapter in the glove box. Someone at Ford has to be thinking about this…
