Do I need to plug in first or do I activate a public charger with my FordPass®* App first?
There will be instructions on the charge station you are visiting that will direct you to either plug in first or activate first. Please follow the instructions at the charge station you are at to begin your charge session.
Important: When at a ChargePoint station, ensure you activate the charger in FordPass App before you plug the connector into your vehicle.
Activating a Charge Station for Payment through the FordPass App
Using your FordPass App:

- Press on the charge station where you are located.
- Tap on DC CCS (DC Fast Charger) or J-1772 (slower AC charger) depending on the charge speed available or your preference.
