How To: Enable Power Meter on Non-GT Mach E

[HughJazzol]

OBD scanner with the Car Scanner app.

shows instant battery draw or regen in kw (positive for draw, negative for regen)

HV EV Battery Power

I’m parked in the screenshot meaning only accessories/ac are drawing power.

I’ve seen that number hit around -80kw at highway speed regen.

How did you get your car display to..display that information?
Do you have a usb obd scanner plugged in, and then you downloaded an app in the car to see that information?
Kindly, elaborate.

Sure,
Bluetooth OBD2 adapter. I bought this one, works well with Forscan on a laptop as well

The Car Scanner app is CarPlay compatible. Easy as opening up the app on screen and you can customize the displayed parameters.

First off, my build is 8/21 so not sure if it would take to begin with but if so is there a certain software version that it would need?
2nd, is does it show realtime in and out KW usage like my Bolt had on the screen? I miss that most...

Anybody with the recent IPC update happen to test this again? I suspect it will make no difference but just curious.

No, it was never the ipc, it was the pcm change from the update that enables the charging lock. It’s probably just asbuilt config that tells the pcm to give the information to the ipc.

Figured it was a longshot. It was a fun novelty but I cant say I really care that it's gone. There's always the eco coach thing if I really want to see blue/green while I'm driving (I don't!).

The eco coach thing has never shown up in my car, so I don’t miss it

It's possible I’m misremembering but I think I had to enable it in forscan and then you have to turn it on in the vehicle settings. It only shows in Engage mode if enabled.

It only gets enabled in forscan

Any one try to enable power meter after the new Powertrain updates from 12V Recall? Wonder if it will display correctly after this update.

Just had the recall done last week. Still have jail bars.

I had the power meter enabled pre-update, and it is still showing up just fine after the update...

Same on mine.

The German Wikipedia page shows peak power as well as "long-term" power, but both sources for that info seem down or unusuable https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang_Mach-E#Technische_Daten:~:text=Dauerleistung

On my 1st gen PE, there is definitely less power when accelerating in the "chill" mode, but I haven't measured it since I made the display thingie. Peak power is the same for the next two modes (~250kW). Regen power varies, depending mostly on speed, but I've seen 80kW at most and goes down linearly(?) below 50 kph.
I wish I somehow had access to those greybar values so that I could show them on my display.

EDIT: weird, I don't know to what message I was replying, maybe the browser was displaying older messages or a different topic?

Could I get confirmation that non GT's are stuck with Grey jail bars? I do get the regen meter.

I have a 2021 MME Premium
