So I have looked in the forum and was unable to find an answer so I apologized if this has been asked.
Is Ford going to have a blue oval plug and charge subscription plan for discounted DCFC? Both Electrify America and Tesla have a discount plan.
Electrify America subscription fee is ($7.00 a month) and Tesla subscription fee is ($ 12.99 a month)
I love the ability to plug and charge with no clicking into apps but the cost might not be worth the convivence. With the addition of the Tesla Superchargers (very reliable) I see more road trips as the summer season has begun.
For example I charged 3 times at a Tesla supercharger with plug and charge. If I would have been a subscriber to Tesla's subscription any more charges this month would be on the positive side. On average you save 0.10 per KW if you subscribe. So after 130 KW it would have paid for your subscription.
To the forum members would you pay a monthly subscription to Ford for a discounted charging rate on Plug and charge? If so what would this amount be? $5, $10, $15?
On a side note my charging at the Tesla Superchargers was great and it has decreased my wife's range anxiety immensely.

Ford MAY roll this out at some point. The cost would likely be exactly what is charged by each provider, not a penny less. So if you wanted Tesla capability, you'd pay $12.99 a month. If you wanted EA, you'd pay $7.00. If you wanted both, you'd pay $19.99.

When I used the Superchargers in March/April I paid the $12.99 to Tesla, immediately downgraded, and charged for the week I was traveling. Made back the fee very quickly.
