At EAs normal 43 cents a KWH = 250 x 0.43 = 107.5 . some chargers may charge more or less depending on states i.e., if its kwh or per min charge and differing rates

I just got the email yesterday, ETA was today 3/4 - 3/10.
Called dealer this morning to see if they could check on mine. Both managers that can check are out of office today. They got two new ones in today, IB and Black, not my color RR.
This afternoon, random email from a salesperson I haven't dealt with before. "Your car is here, come today to buy it?"

Skipping ahead in the story and back and forth verification, the IB they got in matches my VIN, even though my order shows RR and so does the window sticker online.
Background: Dealer updated order for me back in October from IB to RR. Everywhere online showed and reflected this update to RR.
*sigh*


Welllp, you'll prob get yours before me now as I might have to start over again or find a canceled order.

Oh crap- I did the same thing-Changed from Ca Rte 1- black on black to Premium ER, Space White-Space Gray interior then to black interior. Everything online shows the changes so hopefully i don't have the same issues as you.

About $50 I would guess

Depends, in many states charging is billed by the minute but the cutoff will be when you hit 250kW

Or $77.50 (plus $4) if you would otherwise be signed up for the EA Pass+ discount. Which I probably will be for any month I DCFC charge, since I'll only DCFC when on a road trip.

Yes but I am not sure we can use the 250 (or 500KWH) free through EA+ at this time. At least I am not sure.

Escalate that up the food chain to some executives. That is beyond wrong. It needs to be dealt with. multiple failures happened to let this slip through.

Thanks. Stand by. Sales manager whose off today called me back (left him VM on cell). Says it has to be a mistake, he's not in but will find out. There were three coming in this week, IB, Black, AND RR. The sales person is probably wrong.

I want proof of life... I won't believe anything without a picture of the car at this point.

In Ohio a 250kw charge at home is $25.00

We're not. Or rather, it's irrelevant what Ford is being charged for it.

What I meant was that what's it's worth to us is what we would be paying otherwise if we weren't getting 250 free. That's really what it's worth to us -- what that 250 kWh would cost us if we weren't getting it free. At least in my case, I'd be road trip charging with Pass+ rates.

Yup that is right

But home charging isn't what they're giving us. That's kinda like saying that 250kW at a free charging station is free, so that's all the 250kW is worth.

Same here (my home rate is $0.10/kWh). But it won't make sense to use the 250 kWh of DCFC to displace cheap home charging. Unless one won't be doing any road trips that require DCFC en route in the next 2 years, it's best to save the 250 kWh for those. Then it's displacing those public charger rates (EA being the primary one).
