Ditto for me. Took our first road trip last weekend and Plug and Charge at Electrify America stations worked perfectly. It took a while last month to get properly enrolled but am very satisfied now.
I didn’t know you needed to enroll. What do you mean by this? Maybe I missed something?

Go to Ford.com/connectedservices
Get your Plug and Charge set up there. That's where my problem was but it worked when I connected through Edge (didn't work with Chrome on my computer). You'll put in your information including payment info. It then showed up as active in my FordPass app. When you plug in (I've only tried Electrify America) it recognizes your car and will start charging within a minute or so.

Yes, I did all that was needed to get myself up and running at charge stations. I’ll go back thru it all again. I’ve only had the car for 2 months. It was my first public charge. I just thought it was the app.

I had no problem the first time I tried it. The day prior, I used the EA app I had set up in advance and don't recall if it was fully set up (or even had the free kWh available). Everything must have been good b/c I got a credit against the free watts. Haven't needed to revisit or try a different EA location, yet.

I also followed the pinned thread about enabling P&C

Fordpass Plug and Charge worked flawlessly for me last weekend. I hooked up to the 150 and waited maybe 2 minutes, then it started charging.

Same here. Used it 9 times driving from TN to TX and back last weekend and it just worked. I was amazed actually, I expected a fight from something so new. Hope OP gets his sorted out, it really is a cool experience to just plug your car in and everything else is done for you. Plus all my charging was free with my Ford allotment ?

I ran into the same issue a day ago with charge point. I did plug and charge also. Ford pass app failed to show the one I new was in network, but would show up on my screen in car. The station unlocked, I plugged it in and charge failed. I also was frustrated for about 20 minutes. I almost gave up. I bypassed plug and charge, went thru the map icon instead and the station showed up there. There are more steps going this route. Plug and charge is supposed to be easier. Tried to call also, forget that route! I finally after 20 minutes was able to charge.
ChargePoint doesn't do plug and charge. There's literally nothing Ford can do about this.

I did the payment set up thru Ford connect. When Cheil mentioned enrollment, I thought maybe he meant the in network station themselves.

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

NO. As mentioned twice above: chargepoint does not support plug and charge

aha , right, I am looking at the partners.... looks like just EA?
but, that should be a bit more clear I would hope.

I also notice that the EA rate is .30/kwhr.... F*ing crazy no matter where you live! you should home-charge as much as possible.

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.
