BlueOval Charge Network adds FPL EVolution

[Charge_Rob]

Any plans to start to recognize networks memberships? Without recognizing plug and charge useless for many drivers

Plug & Charge and BlueOval Charge Network are different, but related things. BlueOval Charge Network is useful across 13 networks now, the majority of which do not have any paid membership discounts available. You can use BlueOval Charge Network without Plug & Charge as well. But yes, understood that there is a desire among users who pay for discount subscriptions directly with Electrify America and Tesla in particular to be able to Plug & Charge and receive those discounts.

Thank you Ford, not having to deal with 20 apps on your phone to be able to use different charging companies is great value for the Mach-E. This makes the car easy to road trip.

This is great! Any chance we will get iONNA added to BlueOval Network? They are supposed to have 100 stations by end of the year.

It's still more convenient to charge at home while you're sleeping.

Cheaper too!!

Cheaper too!!

It depends on your location

These new locations are added to the in vehicle navigation system?

These new locations are added to the in vehicle navigation system?

They’ve always been there, it’s just that now, you can activate them through the Public Charging app in the car or through FordPass app on your phone. You don’t have to use the FP&L app to start the charge.

Glad to see this. Our experience with the FPL Evolution sites have been hit or miss, but it's always great to have more, non-Tesla, options.

I wonder if this will help solve the activation issues these seem to have. At least the charger in Lake City, FL.

I have got it to work with their app every time eventually. But it was always a struggle.

 

[GroovyMom]

I've tried the FPL charger at Yulee, Fl several times and never been able to get it to work for me. Maybe this will do the trick. And I did download their app, I've used it in Lake City and on the Turnpike in So. Fl, but Yulee does not life the Colonel.

One note: Ford adds a 10% surcharge to the FPL rate. It’s $0.30/kWh in the FPL app, and $0.33/kWh via Ford.

I used the one in Naples a little over a week ago and Ford charged me $0.35/kw through the Public Charging app. Not sure what that’s all about as they don’t mark up other charging brands, at least as far as I know. Back to the FP&L app.
