FordPass v5.2.0 bug? Phantom power use

[Jaime]

The "Energy Added" number keeps increasing at the rate it would normally charge at, even though 80% target was reached yesterday. I have not unplugged from 120V. Checked my energy monitor and there's only about 5W being used on the circuit the truck is plugged into. I also have another car on a 12V battery maintainer in that same circuit. @Ford Motor Company

What! You've only added 58 kWh in 72 hours on the charger! I've added over a megawatt-hour in just 60 hours on my FCSP charger (1,043 kWh), but somehow I only charged my HVB 2% (48% to 50%). Shameful and ridiculous. According to that, my HVB capacity should be 1,043 kWh/2% = 52,150 kWh. I could drive over 103,000 miles at 70 mph on a full battery!

But! Another figure in the FordPass report says I only added 7 mi to my range with that 1,043 kWh charge. That means I'm getting 7 mi / 1043 kWh = 0.007 mi/kWh !!!

My spurious data report back at the beginning of June was probably with FordPass 5.0. If yours is more recent, maybe reporting has been "improved" with v5.2?

I also can't set the Max Current Requested through FP 5.2. I request 48 A, but I get an 80 A charging rate.

Looking forward to next BUG FIX version.....................

The "Time on Charger" is the amount of time it has been connected not how long the charge took. You need to catch it right when it is finished charging to get the actual time it took to charge. It may be a bug, but it has been that way for a while. The miles added is also not very accurate. If you want to know how many miles was restored you have to subtract current odometer to reading to the odometer reading from the last charge. I created a spreadsheet to document all my charges, miles/kwh, and equivalent mpge. That way I can see my pattern and see exactly based on my driving what I can expect. To me it is very helpful and does not take that much time since the info is on the app. But you do need to document before you unplug the charger otherwise you loose the actual kwh's charged. The log does not keep the info.

I show my charge last night from 49% to 80% sucked in 85kWh on FordPass charging history. Was connected ~11.5 hrs, so maybe it just multiplied by an effective charge rate of 7.4kW? I did have the truck on to provide the AT&T Hotspot to the house while Cox Cable was out overnight, so a possible factor that could confuse FordPass @Ford Motor Company ? In Accessory mode only, Climate and radio were off, blanked center screen, black t-shirt covered instrument panel that stays on.

Anyone have a Ford Pass app version greater than 5.2.0?

This version sucks bad and doesn’t work on iOS 18 Beta 2….every other app I have on iOS 18 B2 works great…

i may have to go get a cheap Android 13 device just to run Ford Pass

Updated iOS Beta to 4, Ford Pass to 5.3….still none of the sub menus work with either of these…guess I’ll try to delete the app and reload it…

Did you ever get it working?

Nothing works for me except the climate control. I can see the battery percentage and range remaining.

Did you ever get it working?

Never did get it to work….finally got an older iPhone and set it up on iOS 17 and that works fine…

That’s what I’m thinking I need to do. I can’t downgrade.

If you can wait about a month you’ll save yourself some money.

iOS 17 was released to the public September 18, 2023 and iOS 16 was released September 12, 2022.

Ford will have to update their app to work by then because everyone using an iOS product will upgrade around that week to iOS 18. Apple has automatic updates defaulted to ON.

I sent feedback to @Ford Motor Company through the FordPass beta. Hoping the TestFlight release gets updates shortly.

If I would have expanded the release notes I would have read:
“Known Issues:
Please be aware that customers using the latest iOS 18 Beta software may experience issues navigating between different tabs within FordPass.”
So at least @Ford Motor Company is aware.
