Fordpass not showing amps added at home

[DJSJOEKS]

FordPass is not showing amps added when charging at home. Shows time on charger and percentage added but not amps.

You don't add amps. You add Kwh.

And Fordpass is very unreliable. Even if it did work, chances are it would be wrong.

And I'd edit that picture. It has your home address on it.

Data accuracy has been a problem.

See if you have any information under Charge Station > Insights for that day.

I am using the travel charger that Ford provided and I plug it in to a 220 line. Attached is a screen shot from September that shows the kWh added. Charged 3 times in October and all do not show the kWh added.

FordPass sucks. The end.

As a newb, can you explain what is often wrong? I haven't noticed mine being wrong, but maybe I'm not 100% verifying the SOC? Or is it something else that is often wrong?

Sorry about that ..... the FMC doesn't report to the cloud like the FCSP does, so no details other than the "Charge History" record you show above.

This record regularly reflects what I refer to as NET energy to the traction battery, so for purposes of computing drivable mileage it's fine, keeping in mind that the projected miles added is NOT always accurate as shown above, it infers that you could drive 32 miles on the additional 11 kWh of energy, depending on YOUR style of driving this may be possible, assuming you averaging 2.9 MPK.

I wish Ford would make FordPass, its cloud servers, and the FCSP all work properly and reliably together so you could change the FCSP charging rate in FordPass, get the rate to change as requested, and have it stay where you set it. Usually, when I do succeed in setting the charging rate to something like 48A, it's not too long until the FCSP output rate willy-nilly reverts to a max rate of 80A, even though FordPass still says the rate is set at 48A! This has been happening for at least a year. Lack of reliability in such a simple thing, letting something just ride like this, doesn't build confidence in the more important things about one's truck.

At the very least, you'd think somewhere in the cloud, there ought to be a little routine that checks the charging rate in FordPass vs. the actual FCSP output rate. Even if the routine wasn't smart enough to get the FCSP back in line with the requested rate, it ought to log an error so the BEV folks get a mounting log of how wacky their creation is performing (and work harder to find a fix). The owner could also be notified that the charging rate has gone off (again). How about it, @Ford Motor Company?!

I don’t disagree with your post, but would just point out that you can turn down the charge rate in the box itself. However, that is certainly much more of a PITA then being able to do it simply by adjusting it on the app like you should be able to!!!!!!!!

Yes, I know I could turn the dial inside the FCSP, but I want the FordPass app to work or Ford should remove the supposed charging rate adjuster from the app and admit they can't get it to work and stay where it's set.
