    Problems with myford mobile

    Seems like the same issue as before. App on my phone will not update and no text message indicating car was charged. This will be a pain if I have to do this every couple of months!

    Problems with myford mobile

    Yes, it seems to have resolved the issue. Not passed the 24 hour period yet so I don't have full access to the MFM features. However a few hours after removing my car and adding it I got a text saying it was charged. I have not received one in over a week. Also when I go into MFM it shows the...

    Problems with myford mobile

    huh, It never dawned on me that it could be an issue with the car. Well I also sent an email to the dealer. If it gets resolved I will respond back.

    Problems with myford mobile

    Myford mobile no longer updates. Stopped 5 days and 14 hours ago - it tells me that. It keeps saying "update failed, try again later". This means I no longer have access to see what the charging level is at, get updates when it done charging, cannot use the app as a remote - basically any...

    Anyone have problems with Fed tax credit?

    We tried to do our taxes last night and when we finished it would not accept the 2010+ selection of an electric car. It said we needed to selected "before 2010" This is strange as we have a 2013. Anyone else have problems, or if seccessfull, what program did you use?

    Nissan Leaf vs Ford Focus Electric

    For my reviews most of the numbers looked close enough to not make much difference. And while I do not mind an ev that says "look at me I'm electric" I did not want a car that says "I am ugly as he'll". Sorry but that is what I think of the leafs. Everyone is different and we all have...

    pedestrian warning tone in 2013 model?

    First I have heard of this. I have a 2013 and have n noticed it. Torn on this one, I like the quite aspect, however I also bike to work and I almost got hit by a Prius (probably would have been ok :), it was my fault.

    Just installed my stage 2 charger

    Live in San Diego. I did not realize how much the heater kills the range. Fortunately living in the most moderate climate in the world will help.

    Just installed my stage 2 charger

    Have had the FFE for two weeks now and charging off 110 has been tough. I purchased a Schneider charger from Home Depot for $750. My friend installed it in about an 1-1/2 hours. That included a trip to Home Depot to get different breakers. I added it right on the other side m the main box...

    Charging at any Ford dealership?

    My local dealer in San Diego has two blink chargers that cost $1/hr, however they also have one or two others that they offered to let me use. I need to call ahead, and I only drive about 12 miles to work so I have not taken them up on it.

    How to set the delay charging?

    I was able to find my answers from a PC at myfordmobile.com. I just was not patient enough with my google search.

    How to set the delay charging?

    I am sure this has been covered before, but I could not find any information. I am aware that I can plug in when I get home around 5PM, however the charging can be set up to start at 12PM. This is important as I am changing to a TOU (time of use) rate soon. So I know it can, but not sure how...

    vent system always comes on to the highest fan speed.

    This is really annoying. Everytime I turn on the vent system it's always blasting on full. Is there any way to change this? Also annoyed that the only way to get fresh air is with the fan on period. Wish it would just allow air flow from outside as other cars I have owned did.

    Just purchased the ice storm FFE today.

    I bought mine. And yes I just purchased a Schneider charger from Home Depot. I will mount the charger and probably install the outlet j box so the electrician only needs to run the wire to it.

    Just purchased the ice storm FFE today.

    New member to the electric car club. Very excited! Now need to determine the best way to get the level 2 charger installed. Any suggestions in the San Diego area? I am a mechanical engineer so I might do much of the work myself, but leave the upgrades to the main box to an electrician.

    Feb rebate and the fiscal cliff

    Does anyone know if the possible fiscal cliff will/could impact the $7,500 tax rebate? I hope to buy this year, so it may not be an issue, but it will provide more reasons to the wife as why we should buy now.

    60 miles a day

    Keep in mind the FFE is liquid cooled - which is very important in Arizona. The Leaf I think it air cooler and I have heard of problems in that state. Your driving habits will greatly impact the range, as will running the AC. I downloaded an iphone app called Recargo as was total amazed at...

    Can we charge at any Ford Dealership for free?

    It might be different at each location but a Ford dealer in San Diego offers free charging. I think there is only one though.

    Government incentives and rebates

    Keep in mind, at least from what I know, the 2013 has LESS features than the 2012. For example the universal remote built into the driver visor is gone in 2013. Which makes no sense. To me this has become an expected feature of any new car. Plus why remove items instead add to?
