Hey guys,
We took a trip yesterday (~272 mi) and I was planning a fast charging stop so we could try it for the first time but still have a possibility to come home if it crapped out.
I was reading the forums yesterday (this thread & this one) and people were bitching hard at EA saying it was broken beyond repair and never working so I wasn't feeling to confident but I wanted to see for myself.
I know where the charger was but I used the find EV charger feature of the SYNC and it found my charger and directed me to it.
It was easy to find, in a Walmart parking lot.
We pulled up, plugged in and within a minute or so we were charging at 126kw.
While that was pumping we went to get a snack at Walmart, came back and the car was almost at 80%.
I was very impressed by the ease of use and how fast it was to top off the car.
I have configured Plug & Charge properly a couple weeks ago and I made sure to activate it in the app: I used this guide.
So I am not sure if I got really lucky or what the big deal is but so far so good. Charging more than a 100 miles in 20min is satisfactory to me.
One of the 3 charging stations was broken though so I used the EA app to send feedback and notify them about it.
My only complain at the moment is that the 3.19.1 version of the Ford Pass app on iOS is bugged and you can't monitor the state of charge: kinda suck when you fast charge and wanna go eat a bite but still monitor what's going on.
