Ford Power Promise: Your Electric Journey, Enhanced

[Scorpio3d]

I wonder how much of this has to do with them switching to the NACS adapter are they doing that for the ‘25 model year or ‘26?
They probably have a significant quantity of the FCSP and need to get rid of them before the switch to NACS.

I was having that problem as well and I rebooted (power cycled it with the breaker)the FCSP last week and it seems to be back to the 80 amp my last few charges!

Somehow, the thought to reboot it hasn't occurred to me. I'll give that a go tonight!

Hopefully that does it for you!
I think somebody (maybe taxmanhog? I don’t remember now )mentioned it to me on another thread that so just paying it forward!

Does the connected charger have the CCS pins ? would be nice to have a little less bulky charger head and not have to open the little door.

No, just the J1772 connector

This!
….See threads on Home Integration System

Oh yeah ... So if you call and they send you up to the technical team for help the "ya friggen who!" and if not then ... well "ya know, nothing to see here people"

I think this is great for people that are getting their first EV.

I am kind of chuckling though, Ford is going to pay to install a bunch of chargers for customers that in a year or two are using an outdated plug?

I am not even going to read all this because it relates to Ford PR crap. I have a Mach-e ER and a Lightning Platinum.

So, FORD, where are the ordered Telsa adapters? It's been six months or more waiting for mine. Bought one a few months ago and arrive in 2 weeks. Bought one today and it says I should have it in 5 days.

But my Ford order 'Free' adapters are only PR.

As a current very happy 23 Lightning and 24 Lyriq owner, i see this as a this is a great move by Ford and I wish them the BEST

Hey Mr. Farley,

How about reimbursing the cost for the early adopters, who had to pay Electricians to come to their homes and install 220 lines to their home's electrical panel to charge their F150?
I had to spend $1500 to have the Ford home charger that came with my 22 Lariat Lighting SR wired from my basement electrical panel to the charger mounted in my garage next to my truck.

I got my Lariat in June 2022. The FCSP was delivered to me 2-3 weeks later. Ford sent me $400 to have it installed. The licensed electrician provided #2 wire, 100 amp duplex and assorted plastic conduit and connectors. He charged about $375.
My mother always told me that my good looks and pleasant personality would pay off some day. She didn’t tell me it would take 70 years to happen.

I got to attend the media briefing that Ford gave on this program last week, very exciting! I think it’ll drive adoption and help convert some of the skeptics and people that are hesitant… and more EV adoption benefits everyone!

I made sure to ask how the Ford Power Promise will help current Ford EV owners. The program is obviously geared towards new buyers, but Ford said we can also take advantage of the 24/7 customer support and improved roadside assistance.

We can register at: http://owner.ford.com/

PS — I assume Ford invited me because I’m help run the Midwest F-150 Lightning Owners Club… getting access to these kinds of events is another reason to join and be active in your local club!

Have they defined what "standard installation" consists of? I'm guessing that will require the service and panel to be already capable, readily accessible, and not involving too much work.

Pardon my scepticism. But their installation and support arrangements have historically been total trash.

The market doesn't work like that, as far I know.

You don't get retro-actively reimbursed on the value of the house you sold two years ago when the new owners install a sweet new deck.

When you buy a makita drill/driver set, you don't get reimbursed if they go on sale next year.

Ford should at least give all the early adopters Bc 1.4 for 1 year after my 1.0 is up next year. I have no faith I will ever see 1.4 before my current subscription 1.0 runs out in Oct 25. At least this way early folks tgat supported them get something while new owners get chargers at home installed complimentary.

this….. ^. Ford will just say whatever to buy time for whatever division is being pressured. Their current head of EVs said all system were full steam ahead!!! Only a month after they shut down plans to open the EV plant and instead build hybrid trucks. So do they count hybrids as EVs?

3 years ago EVs were the future of ford.
they were raising prices of ICE vehicles to subsidize the losses on the EVs. Continuous improvements thru the software like Tesla.
Then all the sudden the political waves changed and ….
We are going to cut the EV side and build hybrids. Hybrids are what our customers want. Now we are going to take the EV plant and make hybrid super duties .

Companies like Ford are so bloated and old they don’t have quick enough decision makers and when it is time to make a big decision they will hire outside counsel so they mitigate their own risk of decision making ……which ultimately means current corporate big wigs get a golden parachute to walk away and then Fords board of directors hire someone with another plan that involves the same decision making processes.

the 25 lightning should already have a battery that can go 400-430 miles per charge. if the cyber truck /hummer Ev can go 315-340 on 35” tires - and the GMs can get over 400 on 22” wheels Ford just lost a significant amount of potential buyers this year.

Ford is also doing this to the 25’ super duties where they are eliminating standard items on the 24’s or making you pay extra for them for 25- while there are significant number of super duties sitting on dealer lots now.

fords new pitch for the top level super duty which will now be called the platinum plus (was the Limited) comes with a welcome call from your personal truck navigator that you can talk to about how your truck works. THIS is Fords new sales pitch.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the base price for each vehicle just went up $3,000. Nothing is free. Ford is just whispering sweet nothings in our ears, while slipping the shmeat….

I just sold my Ford Connected Charger. I would hope I could choose the Connected over the Pro when I buy my next Lightning. I have whole house genset and don’t need the Pro with its headaches.
