FordPass 5.0 Released

[leeman]

The update looks very usable. I like how they created some separation with some things in the interface itself much cleaner seems to be much snappier and seems that you have a little bit more control over certain things than an older versions looking forward to seeing how it works

I was pleased to see that Ford converted the "Charge History" page to display kWh instead of percentage charge. However, the accuracy of the kWh

I was pleased to see that the main page of "Charge History", in Ford Pass 5.0, had switched to kWh from percentage charge. However, there must be a glitch on that page, because I have quite a few "+0kWH" charge days listed in which significant charging was completed. When you tap on those "+0kWh" entries, the "Summary" page shows percentage charge completed which exceeds zero. Please fix this glitch.

What am I doing wrong then? I signed up this morning. I’ve driven 200 miles and it’s never updated.

Any Suggestions?
Thanks

After signing up I assume you connected your Ford account, right? If you did, contact Tronity support and they will get it working.

Are us eurotards ignored again? Don’t know any people in my country (Norway) that has gotten the update. As long as you deliver cars across the world, please start writing in your updates wether it is an actual worldwide release or for Americans only.

Ford usually does everything North America first, and then Europe second. Europe has more laws, so they need extra time with the legal teams to make sure all the European laws are being complied with before you get updates. Sometimes they need to make changes specific to Europe after legal council which takes extra time.

Another update I do not want and will not use. No mapping services unless you share location data with Goggle Maps.

How is Google supposed to serve you maps if it can't know your location? Ford has to tell Google "show me maps for this location" hence location data being shared.

You are talking about this right? I just submitted feedback about this missing, hopefully they can add it.

Yes this is disappeared I don't know how they could forget this part although the app design looks nicer they have forgotten so many things for all they did there's just as much that they didn't do which is very sad the whole platform is a mess

Did you try Energy>Access & Permissions? Plug & Charge is located there but no separation from EA or Tesla.

Is there a way to force refresh? (drag down to force refresh in old app)

Don't think so, you'll have to send a remote lock or unlock command.

I just re-saved the target charge level at one of my saved locations, that seems to have done the trick. My wife is currently driving it, so didn't want to send a lock/unlock command.

Yes, I am aware. The question should be why are we now locked into Google maps?

What would be your proposed solution? They wanted to get rid of HERE maps and Google is viewed as the best.
