Leon1972 Report post Posted December 2, 2015 So my ev+ is only kicking in for about 100 yards and it's been at least 3 weeks since I've head. Yet I bought it used and yes I reset the driver settings for the ev+. Should I reset it again or is the ev+ as big a joke as mine is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waldo Report post Posted December 2, 2015 The distance you get out of EV+ is related to the charge level of the battery at the time. But generally it's only good for the last block or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
md13ffhguy Report post Posted December 4, 2015 I've been meaning to tell my crazy EV+ story, so this give me the opportunity... Since buying the car new about 2 years ago, EV+ has only ever appeared in the vicinity of my home. And, 90% of the time, I'm approaching while going downhil, so it will normally be in EV anyhow. Despite travelling to the same work location (A) at least 4 of 5 days per week, and an alternate location (B) the other day every week or two, I never saw EV+ come on anywhere but near home. So, at the beginning of September, I started a new job in a new location ©. After driving to C every work day for a month, I was called back to location A for two weeks. (Still no sign of EV+ anywhere but home.) Then, in mid-October, I go back to location C and EV+ comes on as I approach. I didn't just look twice - I probably looked 5 times! Yep, it comes on every day now, at each end of my home-work-home commute. Btw, it's nice that it comes on at work now, because my new parking spot is in a garage, and the ICE never runs in there. 2 corncobs and hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texasota Report post Posted December 4, 2015 EV+ does seem to have a mind of its own. I spent three months in the south last winter escaping winter. We parked every day in the same spot and it did not decide that spot was its new home until 7-8 weeks had gone by. When we got back home it took only a few days for EV+ to relearn being home. It was a mystery to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
openair Report post Posted December 8, 2015 EV+ has been quick to learn my frequent stop locations. Probably within 5 or so stops. Maybe a little too quick though, as there are now a couple intersections near my girlfriend's where the vehicle has never been shutdown and i am now getting EV+. (Near but not that near. Can watch EV+ go on and then off driving to her place past this intersection and then on again about a block from her place.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the road loops around another mile before I can make the turn to get to my street, so it will display EV+ as I approach my neighborhood, go back to regular EV and I continue down the road, then go back to EV+ after I make the loop and head back closer on the road toward my house. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffo65 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 EV+ will go on as my wife approaches her place of work and as we approach our home. I can drive in EV+ for 1.2 miles when approaching our house from one direction. I pass near enough, to the house, for it to go on and then it stays on while I loop up and around in our subdivision before reaching the garage.

It was helpful to stretch every last Wh of electricity out of the pack before plugging in...

Barsoom Report post Posted December 11, 2015 My EV+ has always been quick to learn my home and work, now my park and ride lot, and of course the Ford dealership :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richardp Report post Posted July 11, 2018 EV+ kind of creeps me out. I didn't ask my car to track my location, and I don't see how to turn off location tracking. Am I missing something? (And no, I don't have anything illicit to hide. I just don't appreciate being sucked, without my permission, into Big Data.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

md13ffhguy Report post Posted July 12, 2018 Speaking of EV+, is it possible that my 2018 FFH doesn't have it? I've yet to see it appear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
