How Do You Specify Preferred Charging Networks in Ford Navigation?

[Jimrpa]

Is there a way to specify preferred charging networks, or an order of charging network preference in the Ford Navigation App? Specifically, I’d like the Tesla charging network to be the first preference, and EA to be the lowest preference. In my experience; Tesla has been rock solid and the least expensive, while EA has been the most expensive pensive and the least reliable.

A preferred charge network would be great. Trying to figure out how it picks stations. On a route I drive frequently it picks 2 evgo stations with 50kW and only one port. When within a couple miles is an ea, and 2 tesla locations with 6 charge stations. So why take me to the worst one and not make it easy to find another station unless I stop and use list of charge stations. But for my safety doesn't work while moving. Just makes planning a bit more difficult especially if on the road already. Especially when I am easily diverted. Hard to skip a station or chose an alternate. Can't just go. Must stop car and replace chargers that it doesn't count and keeps trying to route you to one you don't want to use.

The only option is whether or not to limit chargers in Navigation to inside the Ford Network.

So far, the Ford Navigation doesn't even find Tesla Superchargers, much less prioritize them.

Sigh. Thanks. I suppose that might help a bit since Tesla is “in-network”?
