Here's something that confuses me. Volkswagen owns Electrify America and they have released both the e-tron and Taycan, but neither of them have plug & charge capability. Why is that? Contrast that to the MME which supposedly will have plug & charge on day one.
So I am not sure your characterization of the FordPass is accurate. There's actually a fairbit of backend development that went into it what we're going to see in Ford's EVs. It's looking increasingly likely to me that the FordPass' EV functionality is the result of many years of effort to actually develop the communication protocols and Ford is just sitting on it before sharing it with VW.
If you want to geek out on ISO 15118, watch the CharIN symposium on YouTube.
