Re: Something else doesn't work..... breathe..... don't rant

Having had a Mach-E previously then I think the Born is an all together better package. The settings thing is an annoyance but not the end of the world for me. As for range and cost, then I am really impressed. I have the 77V3 with a heat pump. Drove to London and back this week (250 mile round trip...

Re: New car, what network cards/apps

Ive got a Mach-E currently (Born is on the way). I second Zap Map and also Octopus Electroverse. I dont use Zap Pay or Bonnet, seem to pay a premium over going direct. Instavolt is the most reliable have come across when planning a route but you pay for it. I avoid charging on the motorway too. Ford...
