Just got a new 22 Mach E prem. I had my electrician setup to NEMA 14-50 plugs on their own 40 or 50 amp circuit. I plugged in using the 14-50 adapter on the mobile charger.

How can I see the charging speed? The first app shows "charge type" as AcBasic and energy as 6kWh.

Which EVSE are you using? If it’s the one with the car, it draws 32 amps. So:
32 amps x 240 Volts = 7680 watts or 7.68 KW. Subtract some for heat loss and general inefficiency and 6kw sounds about right.
it doesn’t show in the car anywhere and FordPass app is known to guess randomly at all kinds of numbers. Doing your own math is your best bet.

Yes, the one that comes with the car. Thank you.

Or you could get an OBDII reader and the Car Scanner app which will tell you exactly the charging speed as measured by the car.
