Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I've got over 400 kWh in EA credit in my Ford Pass but I don't know how to use it. I assume I do NOT use it in the EA app (or am I wrong?) Can someone give step-by-step instructions on how to use the EA credit? Thank you.

In the FordPass app go to the Vehicle tab click on Charging and then select the Blue Oval tile. On that screen turn on Plug and Charge. When you go to an EA charger just plug it in and it should connect and use the credit in your account. You can also start the charge from the screen in the truck but you can’t use the credit with the EA app.

When you use Plug and Charge the screen on the dispenser will say Welcome Driver instead of using your name.

You can also activate the charger from the FordPass app.

Thank you. I had tried to search in the Forum for an existing thead which explained this so clearly, but I obviously didn't do a proper search. I've "cut and pasted" your advice into my phone. Thanks again.

It's been a bit since I did it, but do you have to activate the BlueOval Charge Network in Connected Services first?

I cannot figure out the precise steps to activate it from the app. If you can provide them, that would be great.
Select Map icon in FordPass (lower right on iOS), find/select your charger location, select the specific charging unit (usually identified on the cabinet or screen), select Activate in the app, then follow the instructions in the app and/or charger.

Open app. Select "Activate Chargers" on home page.

I found I had to use the app once to get it to start using the credit... I actually did it twice on a road trip just to be sure... after that when I plug n charged it just used my credit up..

Thank you. There are no EA sites in Maine near where I'm at. When I return to Boston in a week, I'll drive to the closes EA site and test things. I really should us up the credit.

EA credits? It seems like I remember Ford giving free charging at Electrify America.
How would I find the number of EA credits that I have available?

When you use the BlueOval Charge Network, Ford sends you a receipt, and at the bottom is your "new balance" of remaining charging credit.
So, my charge credits aren't limited to Electrify America?
Do you know how many credits I would have been issued for MY 2023?
