So I used ABRP to plan a trip from Ohio to New Hampshire to do the Bronco Off Roadeo and by taking an alternative route which added about an hour to the trip, I was able to complete the 680 mile one way trip with 4 Electrify America stops (As opposed to using a Nissan dealership per the Ford Nav)
So here's where it gets weird... When I put in the destination, Ford Navigation would not see "267 N Plainfield Rd, West Lebanon, NH 03784" as an EA site.
I checked plugshare to make sure it was actually an active site, which it was, so I manually got myself there. It was the last stop before my destination so I pull in with about 23% SoC left and I plug in and get the orange circle of death. I move to all the other chargers and same result.
Now I'm starting to panic. An e-tron pulls up and starts charging instantly.
I then go to turn off Plug & Charge and it tells me I'm not the account that can change it, even though I can change the "Share Charging Access" parameter so I text my wife and ask her to flip P&C off. She does and I can now charge at that EA site using the EA app.
RELIEVED.
I then hit that site on the way home and charge, then ask my wife to flip P&C on so I can use the remaining free KwH from Ford but it's now giving her an error so I charged the whole way back on my EA account and I added the $4/month for the cheaper rates. I still can't flip P&C back. I need to call Ford I guess.
I'm guessing Ford does NOT have a relationship with that EA location and it was smart enough to know that so it didn't use it in the Navigation plan??
So if you're having charging issues, try turning off P&C.
