With all the threads of Mach Es requiring a HVBJB fix even after 22S41, I was thinking of planning a trip to 'test' out the car's current HVBJB integrity.

Does anyone know of any EV cerfified Ford Dealers around the North/South Carolina area that I can possibly drive to in case things go south?

Related question: is there an easy way to find the nearest EV-savvy ford dealership to my location? Love the little dealership where I bought my MME but their service department seems pretty, um, Midcentury Modern at best.

Huh.

My dealership comes up with that search and filter, but last time I asked, they didn't have the battery jack gizmo in their service bay and "planned to get one and the training for it soon."

Might be good to use that search engine but confirm with a follow-up phone call folks.

Cooper Ford in Carthage NC is an EV dealer. Small dealer locally owned, they are awesome. Supposed to get mine back today.

Thank you! Were you there for the 22S41 update or god forbid, a HVBJB replacement?

In your opinion, was the shop well equipped to handle a HVBJV replacement?

Like what @P. T. Magoo has mentioned, it’s one thing to be listed as EV ready but another to be equipped for it. 😏

When I dropped it off for repair I asked if they had the right tools, to which they replied they have the battery jack and all the things. HVBJB was replaced post 22S41 update.

Thank you! I’ll be driving around Carthage soon. May I know how long it took you to replace the HVBJB?

Pretty sure a dealer can only sell them if they are EV certified. Quality of that service appears to vary.

If I get it back today (supposed to) it would be a total of eight days since I got the HVBJB error post software update.
