Here is my dilema. I have exhausted my 250kWh of complementary, I have signed up with BlueOval and joined the plus program for EA.

How do I force my EA membership pricing to take effect? I have tried various scenarios to invoke the membership pricing but the blue oval plug and connect seems to be taking precedence.

Having said this I have yet to have charges catch up to me, I simply fear when they do I will discover I am paying highest price for charging.

Anybody have insight or advice? Thanks.

Either shut off plug and charge or initiate charging with the EA app first and then connect.

If you don’t want to P&C just turn it off in the Ford Pass app. That will keep it from accidentally connecting using P&C. Then always activate using the EA app.

Does any one have experience with P&C pricing being different that the flat EA pricing (from what I've seen this has been $0.43 / kWhr)?

This morning - Blue Oval


RECEIPT
Vehicle Nickname: 2022 Lightning Lariat
Date: 10/14/2022
Charge Event Address: 4211 Camino De La Plaza, San Diego, California, USA, 92173

Energy: 67.932 kWh
Session fee*: $16.77

This is $0.246 per kWh. Much less than the $0.43 shown while charging.

Oooh, a discount! I’ll take that!

I wish there was transparency in the BlueOval app, I can’t tell if it takes into account plans like EVgo or EA has and there is no feedback on cost while charging.
Worst is that I can’t find my monthly spend on the app, I have to dig up messages and sum them up.
For me it is pretty much unusable

 

[Leaf to Lightning : )]

on a side note, I have found that using the Ford Pass app to 'Activate' chargers, like CHARGEPOINT, might be a better option versus using the native apps and having to have 'accounts' ... since FORD charges you thru their own system, you don't have to have an account with the others, and therefore aren't required to maintain an account 'balance', and have them 'reload' $10 or more almost every time you charge. You just get charged via your credit card, by Ford, for the exact amount.

Easy: It doesn’t take outside plan membership or discounts into account.

I mean even basic features of any charging app like showing me transactions would have been enough to make it clear
