Can you select the charge amperage rate?

Can you select the charge amperage rate?

Well I have yet to receive my Ford Charge Station pro so i'm currently plugging into a wall outlet and this is all I can see/do at this time. I think once I install that I'll have more controls. It's painfully slow but I dont really need much right now.

Did you get a manufacturer's content label with the truck? Did the big pieces come from the USA? Any surprises?

thanks

Can you select the charge amperage rate?

No, not in the truck. The FCSP will allow setting the charge rate in the app. Other smart EVSEs will also have that capability. The FMC does not.

Thanks for your reply. So if I have a 3rd party L2 charger, I cannot change the charge rate from the truck or app?

Only if your 3rd party charger has its own app to facilitate it. Nothing on Ford’s side.

No. It's one of the major complaints about Ford and what they show you for charging.

Ford is this too much to ask for? Select desired charge limit. Select charge limit in Amps.

Do you have an Android? Can you show a video of Android auto?

 

[Prufrock]

No. It's one of the major complaints about Ford and what they show you for charging.

That's a bummer, thanks for the reply.

Congratulations!!! It’s awesome!!
Would you mind posting a picture of the inside of the bed near the tailgate. I took the bed extenders out of my 2018 and want to see if they’ll work on my incoming Lightning.
Thanks

My charge point charged 7.1kW per hour.
