New Public Charging app

[tnugentfl]

I'm surprised no one seems happy about the new app. The utility of being able to use it while driving is significant. Ford was basically forcing you to use your cell phone prior.

The database is rather good too, and then routing via navigation works great also.

Instead of complaining about silly karaoke maybe look for some of the positive advancements.

Yes, making Public Charging work while driving is a good change.

Have they fixed the following?

- Public charging displays inaccurate pricing.
- Public charging displays incorrect charger speed.
- Public charging lets you send the charger to Ford Navigation, but no pre-conditioning takes place.

Not sure, but looking for progress not perfection.

Having a Map View would be much more useful. Sure, the station might be 15 miles away, but is it 15 miles in the wrong direction I'm traveling?

I tried to use it yesterday to route to a station and when I tapped the button to go to navigation, the navigation didn't start. It just came up with the search menu in the navigation app. I was a bit bummed because I had passengers watching.

Seems I missed something. Looking around I don't see a new Ford Charging App.

Public Charging app is a fail @Ford Motor Company . Filtering for DCFC stations and it shows low power L2 chargers far away from me. The suggestion to have Ford Navigation map show these (and having the filter for DCFC work) is right.
