You can't use it until it is activated. I don't think you can set it up via the app. I set mine up through my Ford account because you have to put in your payment card details. Mine set up very easily, probably the only thing related to this car that went smoothly. ?
I had a few issues trying to get it sorted. Have you tried logging into your account on computer and activating it that way? The app caused me a few problems.
I’m pretty sure I set mine up through the Account page on my computer and my payment details are held ok. I’m trying to remember if there was an system error as I set it up but I was more focussed on the car at the time!?. I emailed the FordPass team 10 days ago but I’m still waiting for a reply. No doubt they’re busy!
As far as I can see there’s no other option to activate it. The only option is to add another payment card. I’ve tried doing that today to see if that helps prompt the activation. Will give it a day or two to see if that helps. I’m still waiting to hear back from the FordPass team.
They told me £500.00, there are many approved DiamondBrite companies that come out to your loaction I have been quoted £270.00 inc VAT, please do shop around
Oh dear, that does not seem right.
There’s a number you can call for the FordPass Charging Network Support (I think it’s the Ford CRC Team)
Just seen the Ford website is down again. I believe the last time I was having these problems activating there were similar back end problems with their site etc. Might just be a case of waiting another day.
Mine kept going up, and up, and up.
What I found interesting here (I have a Zappi too, btw) is that yes it continues to condition/balance the battery if you reach a full or set desired charge, however it doesn’t do this if you don’t reach your desired charge level and simply stop charging via the app. At the moment, I often stop charge, unplug and go, then plug back into a trickle charge off excess solar… however it is obviously better to have your cells balanced after a charge… I would think?A quick demo shows what happens when my charger a Myenergy Zappi2 reaches the set target for the Batt SOC set in the MME. The charger is set to use excess solar to charge the car & house Batt, but it works the same when set to charge at 7kW.
Most of the pics are self explanatory, having set a max SOC in MME of 70% for test, it can be seen when the MME reaches this it switches to 'Battery Conditioning Mode' at 0.6kW this will continue until the Batt BMS is happy that MME Batt is balanced.
You also get a notification that the Batt has reached the desired percentage set (ie 70%) but not that its gone into 'Battery Conditioning Mode' (that can last for several hours).

I’m not even going to tell you exactly what we had pay on insurance, but it is well in excess of £1k!! I’d rip someone’s arm off for £526.
It depends on the start date. Also try gocompare.
That is with gocompare.
