Still have SecuriAlert, not that I use it.

Can’t really remember if this was an issue before, but it won’t change to hours if it’s been more than 1 hour since FP got an update from the car.

Updated 2 hour ago.

yeah i noticed that in the last 2 versions of FP. too bad they haven't fixed that. i think they have rounding/truncation problems all over the place in this app.

If I had to guess, Ford made a design decision to make the EV charging experience as simple as possible for first time EV owners.

Since the window sticker says 150kW charging max speed, they would get even more complaints if the display in the car shows "46kW requested from DCFC station".

They made a choice to wrap different providers in the "Blue Oval Network", and provide the "time until 80%" on the display as a way to coach people towards that number as the stopping point for DCFC. Adding more numbers to the display would require more explanation as to what's going on.

I agree with what you say, but the solution, I argue, is to bury an "advanced user" option down in the menu structure, and have it default to "off". Let me have it if I want it.

I wonder if this is some sort of lead up to having the charging rate show up in the car while it’s charging.

I wish they have added quick actions and widgets for Android especially I would like to have one for opening frunk so that I don't have to open the app then get into the location to open the front one click button would be really awesome

Had to run the defrost for a moment to get it to charge.

It's not on the IPC but the charge rate is available now. That should make a few people happy.

It's just me or has anyone never seen those buttons to stop charging as well?

Whenever I plug my car to charge at the DCFC in my building, I can get updates but I never saw those buttons to remotely stop the charging.

Yeah, adding Shortcuts support for iPhones would be fantastic too.

They have been there all along when you scrolled to the bottom. Appears no scrolling required now and more visual? Pops up in its own full window?

They never appeared for me and I have all the latest updates. I see in the image that the charger seems to be the mobile charger or some other L2 charger.

Can anyone confirm if they see this with any DCFCs as well?

Not sure about DCFC but pretty sure it has been there for my home charging since I got it February 2021. DCFC is a whole different progress and it will go to 100% for me if I sit there long enough. Best to press the stop/unlock button on the charging port door to stop DCFC from what I understand. Less chance of it locking on?

My paak stop working after updated during at work today. i hadnt seen any issue since the day had my mme and never carry my key fob , lucky i still remember my access password to drive it home . And now my paak is broke , cant set up

Same thing happened to me. PAAK has been fully functional - until the last couple of weeks. But, I couldn't get the phone to connect at all over the weekend.

Yeah they’ve been there all along for L2.

I have always had the charge rate in the app. Weird. I assumed everyone had it.

Hopefully a "start departure settings now" button is coming next.
