Fordpass Plug and Charge

I have EA close by but EVgo in my building's garage, so I got the EVgo app for convenience. I'm headed towards a DCFC desert in a few weeks, but there's a CP charger nearby where I should be able to top up with the EVgo app. I may be able to do the trip on 1 charge if I don't drive too fast, but want a plan B that doesn't require another app/guest if I don't need it.

you're assuming a transitive property of partnerships, CP = EVgo, EVgo = FordPass., therefore CP = FordPass.

Oh by the way Lets go 3for3. Charge point does not and we repeat does not offer plug and charge.
Have a wonderful weekend.

sorry, what are you trying to say? it's not clear.

Right. Didn't mean to imply CP supported P&C. But as far as the 'network' goes and planning charging stops I can drop 1 app I likely won't need.

possibly. I admit I haven't tried it yet, but I'd expect Ford to list them if the transitive property of networks held.

I should be able to try it later tonight actually if I get bored...

So I will admit when I am wrong. The app lists the local ChargePoint and says it is in network. I can't activate in the app though (the app says so), so something still is a bit wonky.

chargepoint does not support plug-n-charge, only electrify america and greenlots.

It would be very informative if Ford would let us know this. Charge point is the most convenient station for me and my area. Greenlots and EA are terrible for me. Thanks for that information. Cuz I’ll be using charge point the most until I venture on a trip.

Ford needs to get busy and update the other in network stations. Greenlots and EA ate the only two that pulled up in connect and plug. I didn’t know why when they offer other in network stations.

My Fordpass is connected and shows such on my phone and in Connected services on my computer. However when I pulled up to an Electrify America station it would not recognize my MME. Called EA and they could not get it to work. They finally over rode their station and allowed me to charge, at no cost (not using plug and charge). I called Ford and was jockeyed to four different departments and was finally told to try my dealership. I am REALLY frustrated at this point. Anybody have any ideas?

I went through a similar problem, but the connected services wasn't showing up on my app or on the website. After a half dozen calls....getting bounced all over Ford, someone in the Ford Marketing department finally took an interest in my problem and was able to get it fixed.....though it took about 3 weeks. They did something to the software on their end.

Not just up to Ford. The vendors have to agree and implement it.

ChargePoint is on record as never going to do it.

It's in the app, on the same screen where you enable P&C.

Just completed a 1400 mi trip from Tacoma WA to Bozeman MT. and back, used plug and charge the whole trip with no issues. Used one ev connect charger in Bozeman. It asked me to down load there app to continue the transaction. I didn't use there app, I simply ran my visa card and it began charging. In total I used 12 electrify America stations during the round trip. Only one station had a charger fault and asked me to select another station and it worked fine. Very good road trip charging experience. ?
