Multiple EV+ ?

Recommended Posts

The Mr's has been driving our 13FFH for almost 7K miles.

 

Same commute most days.

 

But the car only recognizes our home as a EV+ site.

 

Never at work........ Any idea's on this.

 

Sure would like it if both were recognized.

What location is work? Could it be a parking garage so the GPS signal is not received by the car.

 

After the PCM update it took about 2 weeks to find home and the same time after the hard reset. My car has yet to find work after the update but it took also about 4 weeks finding work the first time and there it's parked without obstructions to the sky.

Other users have determined that EV+ takes 11 key cycles at a particular location. We found that if you go somewhere only 4-5 times a week it will take a long time to get EV+ at that location. Since you turn off the car at your home much more often than that it learns home more quickly. You can teach it EV+ by repeatedly starting the car and then turning it off at a location so that it learns faster.

It's an open field. Clear skies.

I'll give this a try. But is it best to just on/off the car. OR Move it to another parking spot?

 

Guess, I'll try both. Till this is working.

 

Just surprised that EV+ hadn't locked in on this yet.

i think that 11 key cycle does the trick because on my trip to Charlotte NC (i was only there for 4 days) i did do alot of running around and by the 3rd day it was showing EV+ at the hotel

I noticed that after I got the software update it learned my home in about 2-3 weeks but it took almost 2 months to learn my work location. I would say just hang in there and wait at least 8 weeks. It should eventually get there.

Just to be clear... there can be more than one EV+ location? My car only recognizes my home.

Yes I currently have three EV+ locations Home, Work and my Ford Dealer (the last one not such a good thing).

Yes more than one. I think someone mentioned 5 or 7 a while back. The only one nobody once is the dealer location. That just means your spend way too much time there but we had and have such cases.

 

It took almost 4 weeks for mine to learn work. She got home much quicker even without faking the 11 key cycles.

Once you stop going to the dealer, after a few weeks it will go away. The EV+ by the bocy shop that repainted the bumper no longer comes up.

Wow, that's not a good sign that it recognizes the Ford Dealer!

Mine recognized my office within about a week. But I have been working from home about 90% of the time, so it no longer recognizes the office location.
