Charging information on the MCU.

[ajmartineau]

Does anyone have information about what kind of charging data the MME will display while charging?

This isn't during charging, but it is a screenshot of the charge time setup, if that helps any.

That is a cool screenshot. It can be set for "work" and then possibly of other locations for at least two different charging times during the day to avoid peak rates from the power company and to allow someone to have two vehicles sharing the same breaker. Also if I set the car to charge at 2 am, I know the clothes dry won't be going so that could also be a shared power source.

HEY FORD!!!
I'm looking to have the following displayed on that huge screen while charging: kW &/or MPH charge speed, time to complete, charge limiting adjustments for amperage and battery full %, maybe even some deep-dive data like what 3rd party apps have such as Battery temp, cell voltage, etc (see leafspy, torque pro, teslaspy).

I hate having to depend on the charger's screen for my information. They are often unreadable. Rain, reflections, UV damage, vandalism, etc. all make them hard to read from the safety of your car, see below.

The Bolt shows finish time when the car is off which is nice (also on the app). When the car is on it only shows net kW into the battery like you are using regen braking. You can set the charge limit 5% at a time from 50%-100%. No battery pecentage.

Thats how the Focus Electric's go-times works.

Its GPS/location based "Work" isn't just a label, its a "waypoint" in that those times work when the car is plugged in at that location.

Thus at a minimum the Mach-E should be able to do that since if it didn't they would be walking back features they've already done.

Anyone seen the ecobee thermostat efficiency reports?

I'd like to see something similar for the car. I'd just log in to ford.com whenever I feel like it and they'll have been accumulating reports and graphs (and raw data for download) like this:

kWh used per day, month, months, years

Same, but kWh per miles driven, or the inverse of that.

Miles driven per day, month, etc.

My driving efficiency (miles per kWh) compared to other drivers in household, and others with same car in my geographical region.

You could get something like this out of the Focus Electric with MyFordMobile.

The website would even rank you against other Focus Electric drivers (nationally and in your area). They really did gameify driving an EV with the Focus Electric. You would even earn awards as you drove around, more awards for higher efficiency.

Here is a shot of the MCU displaying information I have not seen before. Great for new EV drivers.

I'm sure Ford will be mining all that information. Why not let the owners benefit as well?
