Anyone using a Ford Connected Charge Station?

[outer_ dilemma]

Looks like Ford is recommending this for the Mach-E. But given that 2024 F150’s can only do 48 amps the Ford Connected Charge Station seems like a good option for 2024 F150 lightnings?

One nice feature for me that I believe exists with this unit is the ability to remotely lock off charging access through the Ford Pass app?

Any other nice features?

Btw the only reason I’m looking at this more expensive option is that Ford charging units are eligible under California’s PG&E rebate program, whereas the Tesla etc units are not.

And if anyone has had any success or hiccups claiming the $700 rebate from PG&E would love to hear about that as well.

It will probably be reliable, but if you want any useful data and better control, I would go aftermarket. Emporia is good. Chargepoint is overpriced, but good.

Check with your local power company for any subsidized units.

I was given one for free when I bought my PRO. Works great and haven't had any problems so far. I can even set charge output through the Fordpass app. I have it set at 36 amps right now.

I have one and it works (charges) fine. It has similar connectivity problems to the FCSP. If I had it to do over again, I’d buy an Emporia, pocket a few hundred dollars, and have a better EVSE.
