Electrify Americas still free, not on Ford Nav.

EA frequently provides free charging on holiday weekends and did so over Labor Day. After that, they started network service and has been free since then.

Important note: While this is happening, the Ford navigation isn’t seeing them as Love and they aren’t showing up on your chargers searches. You’ll need to use PlugShare or similar apps to navigate to them to get your free juice.

Noticed that this weekend too - very strange, why it wouldn’t show up in the searches. Requires drivers to do a bit more homework on their drives i guess. I wish there was an electrify America app within the navigation system as that seems to be about the only road trip worthy charger out there. ChargePoint and others are just way too slow.

My guess is the Ford nav. is dynamically accessing information from EA about its chargers. That way when a new charger comes online on the network it will appear. Likewise, if one is taken offline it will vanish. Unfortunately, that means when the EA networking is down, they all vanish.

Second important note: turn off your Plug & Charge until the free EA is over. After my charging session today, Ford deducted 26 free kWh from my Lightning's 250kWh initial allocation. :mad:

Is this valid for any EA location? Or just specific ones? The free charging I mean?

As far as I know, all of them.
