Just got a message in my Ford app telling me that the Mach-E was just added to the DTE Smart Charge Program. This is a program that pays you $50 now, and $50 later, for not charging during Do Not Charge events, and charging during times of excess energy.
Ford works with DTE to change the charge settings in the vehicle to not charge, or to begin charging. You can override this is you need to, as long as you don't exceed the override limitations. Terms and Conditions
Brochure Note it doesn't include the Mach-E, which was just added today. Sign up from the message in your FordPass app.
We signed up with our Fusion Energi in July, promptly got approved, and received our $50 gift card in the mail. There have been 5 times since 8/3 where a Do Not Charge event occurred. Zero impacted us.
For those that question DTE having access to your data, keep in mind if you used DTE's $500 charger rebate, you already granted that access.
Even if you override every notice, you make $50.
You'll know the application is processing when minutes later your preferred charging hours will be updated, they simply add DTE in front of the location name, i.e. DTE - Home.
