Apple Maps DOES provide charging information. You have to go into the settings and tell it what car you have, and then you can search for routes there and it will tell you what chargers are available on your route.

I highly advise doing this. If you complete the steps, you should expect Apple Maps to get the charge status from your car in near real-time and work out charge plans for you as you go down the road. It comes within 75% of replscing ABRP with a subscription and a BLE dongle.

Where does one go to see the battery level? I've scoured the Ford.com website and can't find it.

Ford.com. Sign in to your account. Then click on (your name) account. The percentage under charge is the 12v battery charge Level.

By account do you mean the Ford Pass?

By account do you mean the Ford Pass?

No. It’s the Ford.com webpage. Login first and then from the drop down menu at top right, click on ”my account.”

I had a really long phone conversation with Mark and he was so nice to walk me through this whole thing. I don't know if I could do it again by myself but now I have a general idea. Good thing we don't go out of town very often.
Thanks, thanks to Mark.

[QUOTE="How do I check the 12v battery? Do I need to take it to the dealer? I want to make sure it's ok before we take this trip. This is the first long trip we are taking since we've had the car - 2-1/2 years.

https://a.co/d/3pBXIFL or equivalent is handy. A load tester is better but I find it to be a bit of overkill for most EV applications. :https://a.co/d/7fIEcJu. Load testing is vital for an ICE to ensure enough amps to crank the engine over. We just need enough juice to run the computers and energize the relays to turn on the main pack.
