  4. Charged to 100% twice despite 85% limit?

    Hey all, so the last two times I have charged my vehicle, it has defaulted to charge at 100% despite my settings saying otherwise. I have checked the settings multiple times now (and gone back in to change and then reconfirm these settings for that matter) on both FordPass and inside the...
  5. Florida Leaving Charging Cable Plugged in wall when not in use

  9. Which charging networks are worth paid plan?

    I have owned my MME GT since Halloween 2021. I am close to using the last of the EA credits (500 to start - down to 49). I travel largely in the mid-atlantic states of PA, DE, MD, DC, and VA, and it seems EA and EVGo are the most frequent DCFG networks, and Chargepoint, Volta, Sema-connect, and...
  10. Is it the charge port?

    Started having issues two weeks ago with my Level 2 charger stopping after 10-15 minutes or so. The only time I’ve had success charging is (of course) when I took it into the dealership and got accused of not pushing the charger in enough (after 18 months of use). I’ve gotten this error at two...
  11. Fixed Price Offer From Power Company Right Before Car Delivery

    So I just got a fixed Price plan offer from my power company. $75/mo, or an estimated $90/year now than I'm currently paying on average. But here's the thing...I get a Mach E any day now and that will add quite a bit to my power bill, even charging during off peak hours. It definitely feels...
  12. Ford Connected Charge Station: "Plugged in Not Charging"

    I've had my Ford Connected Charge Station for almost a year with no problems. I did my usual charge to 90% on Friday evening with no problems, then took the car out Saturday for a two-hour drive. When I came home, I plugged it into the charger like usual, but the app said "Plugged in Not...
  13. Idea for securing a charger when charging overnight at a public location.

    I'm going on a weekend trip soon, and working on charging strategies. The hotel I'm staying in doesn't have on-premise charging, but they told me I could use an outside 110V outlet to charge. So I'm taking two long heavy-duty extensions cords and the charger that Ford included with the car...

  18. VW has a great plan for real world testing!

    I was shocked when I arrived at Fairbanks' 2 DC fast chargers - there were 3 VW ID4 Pro S there as well. There are only a handful of EVs here in central Alaska, so it was quite surprising to see four in the same place, at the same time. I thought they might just be one of the testing teams...
