I only DCFC 8-10 times a year.
In the 16-20 DCFC sessions over the past two years I have experienced a few hiccups but nothing that prevented me from charging.
I like the idea of having the adapter for flexibility but I am not sure how often it will actually be used.
When I first got the car...
I had a short road trip this weekend that involved two stops at the same DCFC station, the recently added Mercedes branded dispensers at the Buc-ee's in Fort Valley Georgia.
Both stops started at similar initial SOC.
The first stop was without preconditioning.
32.2163 kWh dispensed
in 28...
It is not an official Lego product but one created by a fan, maybe someone on here?
Ordering it was apparently a pain since it is not an official Lego product. The site that had the assembly instructions and parts list linked to another site where you could buy the parts. At the time she...
My wife needed to take an emergency, around 300 mile, road trip that required a single DCFC stop to complete round trip.
Last time she took a trip without me, she was traveling with my daughter and they opted to take my daughters ICE car instead of the MME. This time her choices were to take...
https://a2zevshop.com/products/nacs-ccs1#:~:text=A2Z EV proudly introduces the,any NACS fast charging station.
Says it is approved and authorized for sale. It’s a pre sale for now.
Anyone planning to be one of the first to own? I plan to wait awhile and see what other adapters become...
For the third time since buying my MME I have hit/been hit by road debris.
1. Less than a mile from the dealer, having owned the car for 5 minutes, a styrofoam cooler lid flies off of cooler that was in the back of a truck in front of me and slams into the front of the MME. No apparent damage...
I stopped by my service dealer today to make an appointment in person because I knew it would be too hard to make one over the phone. It was probably too hard to make one in person as well.
I asked the service writer for several things.
1. I want the tires rotated.
2. I want CSP 22P31...
I was talking to a neighbor who's kid is on a travel sports team. They just recently got back from a trip in the Richmond Virginia area. One of the other parents decided to rent a car for the trip and got a great deal on an EV rental. He opted for the EV because another parent had raved how...
Just back from a trip from Metro Atlanta to Panama City Beach and back.
Last year I made the same trip and this year I had to completely change my route because the DCFC stations I used last year were now all listed in PlugShare as broken.
Even the way I went had DCFC problems. The EA station...
Just returned from a 320 mile round trip in the 80’s.
The 160 miles there left the car at 55%. I left it plugged into a 110 outlet for 20 hours and left at 77% for the return. We arrived home at 32%.
That means we could have made the 320 mile round trip without charging and arrived home at...
The reissue of 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 as 4.2.x is listed in the release notes as ensuring some housekeeping features are included.
These are my guesses as to what features were fixed:
1. Owners manual
The owner's manual app now works.
2. Intermittent connected services icon and menu
I am...
I just returned from a relatively short road trip that required two charging stops in each direction. At the first stop in each direction I charged for about 15-20 minutes longer than needed to make sure I had enough energy to get to a second, third, or even fourth charging option at the next...
My Bluecruise map expiration updated to 10-06-2073.
Is Ford taking Bluecruise map expiration out of the picture?
Even if your maps do not update for some reason, Bluecruise will continue to operate using the old map data for the life of the car and subscription? Seems like a valid tactic...
I know most here think Alexa is the devil, kills children, and doesn’t believe in the tooth fairy but I have actually found her useful.
We have played games on road trips and find that Alexa answers questions better than Siri.
My problem is that I have to log her in about every two weeks. Is...
This should be an interesting trip, might get some I told you so from the wife and kids.
We celebrate Thanksgiving with family in middle Georgia, a DCFC desert.
I have used ABRP and Plugshare to try and plan the trip.
Day 1: My home to my brother in laws home. We will just drive it as it is...
I wanted to use my Ford Pass points so I opted to take the car to the dealer for the first service.
I refuse to return to my purchase dealer because of my purchase experience. My goal is to never give that dealer anymore money.
There is a different dealer that is across the street from my...
I think I have heard others complain of similar behaviour but this is new for me.
The car updated to 3.1.1 a few days ago and ever since I can not open the rear hatch unless I first open a door. It does not matter if I have the key fob with me or am using PAAK.
Did the update revert some...
Was heading out for lunch when Clifford the Big Red Car complained about the front left tire pressure.
I guess my Saturday will involve getting a patch. Looks to be solidly in the middle of the tire.
I have only used PAAK since I got my car back in March. It has worked ok.
Sometimes it worked great, other times I was stuck outside my car pressing the button hoping the car would open the door. I would have to enter the door code and then the car would just start like it always knew I had...
This was my second road trip in the car, the first that would require two charge stops in a day.
The trip down was great. We left the house in Metro Atlanta at 100%. Stopped in Athens, GA to pickup my son and started our journey to Orlando. Our first stop was in Macon GA. While we didn't...
