FordPass App 4.25.0 released w/ Charge Rate Indicator!

[TaxmanHog]

How do I roll this garbage update back. At least before the app stayed open for 30 seconds. Now it randomly crashes.

Pixel 6, Android 13 Mar'23 Security update.

Try to force stop the Fordpass app, then clear the cache, restart the phone, restart the app.

Noticed another oddity, the energy added is not tracking correctly on this charging session.

I'm preparing for a long day of travel, bumping to 100% this morning, the trucks has been on the charger for a while, adding 51+ miles of range but energy added is not correct at <1kw

Being accurate with this would put Ford at odds with all their other inconsistencies.

Same here. Headed out on a trip this morning so I charged to 100%. I never saw the rate show up and now it’s giving me the <1 kWh. My Autel charger app shows 27 kWh.

Similar, I'm almost to 100% now showing

This is what it is actually drawing at the moment..... ~3.552KW
Total so far is 36.9 KWH

It doesn't need additional hardware. The truck already has full capability of controlling how many amps it's pulling.

Agree on this statement. Truck does need a user selectable setting to choose or limit the amount of amps you want it to pull. FORD, please read this comment and tell the software engineers we desperately need the ability to let the user reduce the charge amps rate is possible as most other EV's have this ability on the software side of things. I'd like to be able to slow down my Ford mobile travel charger from the 240v 32amps standard down to 24amps or even 16amps depending on what I am hooked up to. Thank you Ford for reading and considering this.... This would be a HUGE improvement...!!

Positive improvement..... the swipe to update/refresh seems faster now at around 8-10 seconds !

So you can refresh more often and see inaccurate information more quickly? Cool!

LOL, in the interest of science of course

My PAAK is still working however it seems to have lost communication with the truck and will not update the status now. Anyone else have this issue?

My app is showing 127kW while the ABB DC unit is showing 130kW while having the heater on at 64 with 37 ambient.

My FCSP is pulling around 70A (17kW) right now.

My app is showing 127kW while the ABB DC unit is showing 130kW while having the heater on at 64 with 37 ambient.

They are measuring the power in two separate places. So there is wire resistance and power electronics contributing to the difference. On an AC system the efficiency is around 10% loss. Seems 130 to 127 for DCFC is pretty reasonable. Also likely some rounding and meter precision contributions.

With my Tesla I don't even check because it's never a problem. On EA network I need to watch it like a hawk because the rate is often fantastic and then complete garbage for no discernible reason.

My money's on thermal management issues.

I stopped on the way home at EA and it showed the rate on the DC charger. I’ll see what it does tonight. I did manage to get 4.1.2.1 installed while I was out today.
