So if I use a different non Ford home charger can you then set the times in the car of when the car gets charged and heating cooling pre-start etc.

all of that stuff is controlled by the car, not by the charger.

What features do you LOSE by not getting the Ford Connected Charge Station?

The Ford Connected charger's features include up to 48A charging, and separate "connected" (Wifi) charging control.

IE - you can control charge times, lock/unlock the charger (if it's outside you can "lock" it so that it won't automatically start charging a car if plugged into said car), and view charging history through the charger itself, separate from whatever car you're using it to charge. These features are available on many third-party chargers as well.

We do not use the Ford connected charger. Using Ford Pass app and a non Ford connected charger, I am able to control charge times, percentage charge upper limits, heating and cooling pre starts. Initially I was stopped because the app did not consider my use of "Default" to identify my home charger as a name. Little Glitch.

Because of not using a Ford Connected Charger, cannot use the Ford Connected App.
