    It's been a long road

    More than 100,000 miles

    There are so many charging piles, but my electric car cannot be charged, what should I do?

    You had a failure while charging and you got a battery replacement. How was it a waste of time? It sounds like you haven't tried to charge since, out of fear it will break again - what guidance are you looking for?

    Can we pin a thread for parts requests?

    I know we get the occasional wreck or failure and it seems they often end up going to a junk yard for a few hundred dollars when they have thousands of dollars in scrap value so long as they don't catch fire. Any chance we can keep track of parts folks are looking for to possibly help others...

    Quick Charge Mod - CH4D3M0

    Since taking possession of the CHAdeMO quick charge hardware from Sefs, I've posted most of the code to Github (https://github.com/truss-cpi/FFE-CHAdeMO) along with some other data. In parallel I've designed a "shield" for the EVTV CANDue that should contain every low voltage thing needed to...

    LTE TCU Hacking

    I'm at around 48 hours since activating my LTE TCU. Here's the status as of the app: I see the option to lock/unlock/start but none seem to work. I see when I am plugged in, details show my estimated range to empty. Estimated finish time seems to be my last charging session on L1 before...

    CCS upgrade for older Focus

    I've been comparing the diagrams for the later model Focus with fast charging and the earlier models without. It seems the differences are few but significant - aside from the different port/fender and what they simply label as a "module", the entire HV harness running to the battery has to be...

    Battery Cooling Redux - It's Over

    So, I spliced a flow meter into the return line of the battery loop, between the temp sensor and the degas line. It's very easy to get to with plenty of space around it. I also spliced in NTC temp senders on the inlet and outlet of the chiller block. While the battery was over the cooling set...

    If anyone is junking their car

    Let me know. I'll buy your AC compressor. And if you had fast charging, I'll buy your port/harnesses/contactor module...

    Reminder of why EVs can be awesome to own

    Just got my renewal notice from the state. So, if not for my vanity plate, my one and two year renewal costs would be $13.83 or $18.83

    Share details of the LTE migration?

    For the sake of clarity, I'm hoping folks can share some details of this migration. Up to now, on 2G and 3G, my Focus Electric has been using the MyFordMobile app/site. For the folks with 2016+, were you also on MyFordMobile or were you in the FordPass app? If you were on MyFordMobile, did that...

    MFM Data Export

    Follow up on @Scottt's question about the MFM data export. 37 files, named FMC_$TABLENAME.csv Data is exported mostly sequentially, so the first column is the table name, the second is the exported column name and the 3rd is the data that would go there. Next line is table, next column, data...

    MyFocusElectric Discord is up

    All - not to steal thunder from the forum, but I've spun up a MyFocusElectric discord server (which I'm happy to hand off to the site admins if they care to run it) This link should work for the next 7 days for anyone that wants to hop on https://discord.gg/mFntQNdm You should also be able to...

    AT&T sunset and MyFordMobile app

    Looking around online it's apparent that the 2G modems on our cars were replaced with 3G ones in the US. Some folks have tried swapping in similar TCMs with LTE but have been unable to get them to connect to MFM. Based on a recent post in the MFM message board, it looks like it might be...

    Battery Cooling PSA

    Just wanted to offer some info, in case it saves other people some headaches. If it seems like your battery is having difficulty cooling down - noticing the compressor cycling a lot during charging or pulling power far longer than normal during charging - have your coolant pumps and filter...

    The Focus CHAdeMO mod returns - Part 2

    I've been going slow with setting up Sefs' CHAdeMO hardware on my Focus. I pulled apart the electronics and diagrammed everything up for reference as I went. I started with this: And got to this: I then re-wired everything in a bit more permanent manner And installed it under the hood...

    The Focus CHAdeMO mod returns!

    Through a series of extremely lucky events, I have taken possession of the CHAdeMO mod and charger built by Sefs. The charger had to be partially disassembled for it's trip to Arizona and suffered a little (repairable) damage in transit, but it will be brought back online while I work on getting...

    Flat towing revisit

    Been thinking about this and I can only think of one possible problem for flat towing. The parts that don't factor: On my 2012, there is no steering lock so it would be able to track on a tow bar while "off". When placed in park, the drivetrain is arrested by a "parking pawl" that engages in...

    Info on the new travel charger and musings on J1772

    Ford finally managed to steal my old travel charger and swap for one of the new units with the thermal sensor in the NEMA plug. Seems it has a PIC microcontroller running things. I *may* try to reverse engineer the board and load my own code to a similar PIC to have the unit offer 16A - even if...

    How to slightly boost on-board charger current draw?

    I've always been a little disappointed in the 29A draw from the FFE (OBD scanner actually shows 28.x amps) I'm not looking to get 40A or anything, but I'd love to get it up to 30 or 32A. I've reached out to Sefs in hopes there might be some info to share but didn't hear back. Does anyone have...
