I just leased a Rav4EV. First impressions are much more powerful and roomy and expensive but worth the extra cost. In comparison the ride quality on FFE is excellent and I find that it is still really fun to drive although the acceleration is no comparison. As for the rankings, I reset the...

Not sure of cause. It happened while I was out of town for a few days, but wife tells me it was driven a few times. She thought maybe she left something on that drained the batt, but after Ford roadside jumped it she checked and didn't find anything. I did receive a four alerts from the MFM...

This happened to me on Thurs. Roadside assistance fixed it up.

28k miles Cloth light blue "Frosted Glass" Interior & exterior 9/10 ZERO problems (eg SSN, value charge, GOtimes, etc...) No noticeable reduction in range--18.1kWh on trip with 4 mi remaining this month Transferable Ford extended service plan extra Asking $18,750 selling to buy another EV (reply...

It didn't work because the juicebox did not cut off the power at the end of the JB's window. I set FFE at 64% SOC to "charge now" and JuiceBox to charge from 2000-2100 at 8Amps (FFE disconnects and sends a charging fault activity notification at anything less than 5A). JB came on and a few...

Thanks for all the great responses! Something in the software hiccupped when I deleted my go times and value charge profile that I set up for this experiment and I needed to do a system reset AND delete the MFM account to get it "working" again so no progress on the just trying different...

I will be away for a few weeks and I wanted to leave my car charged about half way while I am gone so I manually set the value charge for only one hour 12am-1am on 120v and selected value charge from the car, but it starts charging when I plug in any other time. There are no GO times set. Is...

I have the same issue. I see other vehicles using the same chargepoint station as me drawing much more than the 5.8kW I draw.

How did you get the price down to $25,400?!?! MSRP is $36,000 with current rebates bringing the price to $30,000 in California. You're going to love the car as long as you don't use SYNC or the GPS. I have a 52 mile r/t commute and consistently use 12kWh with cruise control set about 60mph. I...

I use ChargePoint the most. It always gives me hundredths (5.78kW). Anybody else??? Please post! I want some data for comparison when I bring it in to the dealer to see if they can find the mission 11% charging capacity I'm missing out on.

I have yet to see 6.6kW charging on any Level 2, even when charging from empty on my 2012. This isn't a limitation of the station because I have seen Tesla's pulling more than 7kW from the same station and new Leaf's pulling 6.3kW. The best I've seen is just shy of 6kW. Is anybody getting...

We need one that lists all the stations and has a robust filter set to discriminate against public, privates, free, pay, type, etc... US DOE could use some help with their online tool. It has lots of data but could be much more user friendly.

If you want to see instantaneous power flow set up your MyView to show "Climate" and "Other." I don't have much use for the energy history. I noticed that the "Other" bar gets longer during regen braking. Seems like that should be the other way around--I would think that it goes down...

I set to Temp to Lo and minimum fan speed with AC off to get airflow and this does not effect the range. Setting the temp to anything but Lo may engage the heater. That draws WAY more power than the AC. Set up your myTrip indicator to display the instantaneous power draw. It shows Climate and...

Is there an app out there that has all the charging stations?? Recargo is pretty good interface but doesn't have all the stations that are out there. I find that I bounce between 3-4 apps to search just to make sure I'm not missing any.
