1)I have a strong nest WiFi signal in the garage. Nevertheless I lose contact with the Ford Charge Connect every day at some point. I have to reconnect by using the charge connect app, enter the station ID and code. All my other devices stay connected. Does this have anything to do with recent halt of Ford charge connect sales?
2)Will it hurt the battery to plug in every time it's parked in my garage? This would obviously keep it fully charged (90% for me). Am I better off letting it reduce to 30-50% before recharging?
3)I connected my charger using the two hots and a ground. Is there a way / possibility to use the neutral and make the battery bi-directional? I have solar and and inverter at the house. It would be nice to use the 88Kwh as a home energy backup.
4) I tried the DC Fast Charge "Juice Bar" between exits 17-18 northbound of I-87 (North of Saratoga Springs NY). It would not charge. I get a "Charger fault" message. I tried the one next door but still no joy.
5) I went to a local supermarket fast charger in Troy NY (Hannaford). It's an EVgo. I had to give it my credit card and it started charging but then kicked out after 1 minute on a fault. Did it again and it lasted 3 minutes this time. Did it again and it lasted 1 minute and said "charging complete", it was not complete, only at 40%. I'm going later today to try another fast charger in Scotia NY and see if that one works. Any thoughts?
