You can get your Mach-E to show you the charging speed and Regen without any permanent modifications. Along with various temperatures from around the car.

Watch this 20-second video.


Here's one from a stoplight at about 50% power.



Here is all you need, along with an app to display it. I am running Car Scanner on Andriod (@Wildthing for sharing), using the CMax values. I would prefer Torque Pro but I don't have the time to write the custom PIDs.

oooohhhhh, very interesting!
I have never gone shopping for ODBII interface or car scanner Apps, much less used them, ;) I wish this data, especially power in/out was displayed on dashboard calculated from the HV current and Voltage, but a scanner may have to do 'for now'.

Looks like we need:
ODBII dongle
phone app to display

do you have any specific brands that are favorites? Links where to buy? cost?

I have a cheap wifi obdii (see pix in OP) now years ago I used a Bluetooth one and it stopped working. I see no need to get a name brand one. Mi e was like $9, now they are twice that. lol I’m using the free version of car scanner.

I'm excited about this.... ordered the 'high end' suggested OBD2 for $25. can't wait to see what I can see!

I stopped to top up before signing the papers. Edit: It looks like this shows the difference between what the charger is sending and what the battery is increasing by.

Yup, Car Scanner is available for iOS as well. I just tried it and it works great. There are tons of values available, and it's completely customizable. You can have multiple dashboards and use it in portrait or landscape orientations. Things like battery age and inside car temperature were nice surprises. The free version has ads at the bottom, but after using it for a few minutes, I was happy to pay $6.99 for a lifetime subscription to the full app.

I'm looking forward to it!
.... it would be SOOOOO cool if we can 'create a dashboard' to display what we want. especially if it is possible to write formulas ?! i.e. multiply the HV voltage x HV current, and display Power in kW !

Hmm, yeah formulas would be cool. Not sure if it can do that. I’ll have to play around with it. By they way, this is the OBD adapter that I have. It’s kinda pricey, but you have to be careful when using one with iOS because a lot of Bluetooth adapters aren’t supported.

thanks for providing that link! I did not have a OBD, so I ordered the one mentioned as 'ok' on the carscanner.info website. It's nice to know that if I have trouble there is at least one alternative that works!

in addition to seeing power in/out I am going to be curious if I can confirm the cause of 'black center display'. I suspect there is a temp sensor inside the display, and it prevents display from coming on above *some* temperature. It may, or may not, show up as a logged error.

I have been able to repeat the issue every time by parking facing south and letting the sun hit the back of the display for about an hour. I measured the front of the display yesterday at 135 degF when it failed to come on. It was fine after a while in the garage after cooling down.

My cheap OBDII also works with both Andi and apple.

WHAT WE NEED IS... an app that does all this AND is compatible with AA or Carplay. I would even buy that one. $$$

Something doesn't compute with those voltage and current values... Do you know which PIDs the app is checking?
