The posters who mention apps for charging do have a good point. Can EA, Tesla, and other charging apps run on the older phone? They can be awfully important when Plug&&Charge doesn't work. How about PlugShare, ABRP, Google Maps, and other planning apps? If those work, FP is less critical; if not, the purchase of a newer phone may be justified for several reasons rather than one.

Do you fast charge? Then the answer is Yes

The pts are usually 30,000 (roughly $300) worth of parts/service.

30,000 FordPass points is $150. Purchasing an EV, gets you 22,000 points ($110).

I was under impression that Ford's Plug&Play does not require the phone.

I couldn’t set up Tesla Plug and Play unless I set the Lightning to “non Tesla“ up on the Tesla App and selected Plug and charge on the Ford App.

I think you can set up Plug&Play at Tesla or EA just using the Web.

Setting up the Tesla app has zero impact on whether Ford Plug & Charge works at a Tesla SuperCharger.
