The charging in this car is a complete disaster. The fast charging is extremely flaky, and some people can't even L2 charge in their homes. Other EVs to my knowledge do not have these issues. Ford has had plenty of time to fix these issues...if their testing teams even drove to a few EA chargers and tried to charge they should have noticed these issues.For the love of all mankind... can someone from Ford at least acknowledge they’re working on a fix?

Build date is May 21. "Success with EA at least somewhat" is by definition a disaster...the DC fast charging has to be flawless, because that is essential for the proper functioning of the vehicle when people are driving longer distances from their homes."complete disaster" is a complete overstatement.
Almost everybody is working fine with L2 except apparently some people in Illinois who seem to among other things be at overvoltage.
A lot of people have had success with EA at least somewhat, and even have had P&C work. To suggest nobody tried to do it when testing the car is just an insult to the people who made the car.
When did you get yours by the way? I mean, so you can speak to your first hand experience?
since Tesla Supercharging isn't flawless after all these years ( Model 3 Owner Was Stuck At Tesla Supercharger For 15 Hours | Carscoops ), that feels like a very high bar.Build date is May 21.

This is so laughable I almost didn't respond. Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, is flawless.Build date is May 21.

Totally agree, NOTHING is 100%.since Tesla Supercharging isn't flawless after all these years ( Model 3 Owner Was Stuck At Tesla Supercharger For 15 Hours | Carscoops ), that feels like a very high bar.
don't misunderstand, I'd love everything to be 100%. But you're simply exaggerating at best here. "by definition a disaster" is just wrong.
EVGO and Chargepoint and Sema Connect are all super easy, but I use the apps and not plug and charge.If some of you also watch EV Dave, just remember he bought the car Kyle tested. Just trying to avoid people jumping to conclusions based on YouTube videos by two well known reviewers on the same physical car.
At first I was thinking EA was totally to blame for the MME's DC charging issues, but I'm wondering now seeing that other cars Kyle has tested on the same chargers charge well (VW ID4).
Could some owners on this forum report back on how the MME charges at EVGo and Chargepoint DC (not L2) chargers?
I know I know, what does a twice Tesla owner care... I'm an EV enthusiast first. I want all the manufacturers to succeed with their EVs. We'll need them all to transform to sustainable transportation.
for sure it's fair to call out that P&C is where it should be yet - the ratio of failure to success is much too high. Part of me is hoping that when VW flips that switch on their cars that it will magically get better for us since EA might suddenly care.EVGO and Chargepoint and Sema Connect are all super easy, but I use the apps and not plug and charge.
I did set up P&C after pulling into an Electrify America space just to try to get my free 250kw, and had some issues, but the EA app worked fine.
I understand the allure of plug and charge... But seriously it's not necessary at all. The respective charger company apps take like a minute or less.
I have absolutely zero complaints with mine, aside from the screen buzzing. Charging works fine for me.The charging in this car is a complete disaster.

Ahh, so you speak from absolutely no personal experience but yet we should take you as an expert it is a complete disaster? Got it.Build date is May 21.
