Fordpass charge anytime not working

Ok, looks like its time to leave. 

£250 out of pocket and only a £25 reimbursement as a goodwill gesture.

False promises that this is being looked at, and prioritised. 

Lies that Ovois looking at reimbursing all the *over charges*

Its disgraceful to take advantage of the customer when the cost of living is increasing at such a rate 

As it so happens, I was talking about FordPass stuff with a contact of mine yesterday. They prefer not to be named, but are willing to let me post some elements of the discussion.

I write these notes for the benefit of all those who come here. Please bear in mind that these are my personal thoughts and views, so they don’t necessarily reflect the same views or position of OVO, Kaluza or Ford - they should be treated as my words alone.

In order to keep the Lawyers happy and not have them throw books at me, I also cannot reveal everything I know at this time.

Once again, I will post the reminder that if you stick around, OVO will attempt to reimburse ALL lost credits in bulk, as long as they can pull the required data. If you leave now however, you will NEVER receive those credits as leaving OVO automatically revokes the permissions required in order to do so. In the meantime, you are not being overcharged as long as you’re paying the standard rates for your tariff.

If you really want to leave, that’s your choice and no-one here will stop you doing so - but heed my advice above first. You have been warned about the consequences and there’ll be no further warning if you decide to leave despite this. Arguably, you probably wouldn’t be able to complain later either for the same reason (but also because leaving automatically nukes 99% of complaints).

As for the OVO Charge Anytime X FordPass V2 Integration (this is an unofficial name we came up with for it on the Forum btw), this stuff really does take time to develop and test thoroughly before it can even hit Alpha or Beta status - and it cannot be released outside of the testing labs until it hits at least Beta because it wouldn’t be anywhere near stable enough until then.

This is NOT a Dump N Go solution, not unless you want to have a totally half-baked product that never works.

That is why it’s taking time - because ultimately, OVO and Ford want to get it right this time.

I think we all understand the constraints you have here on the information you cab pass on but with my OVO contract expiry looming, I just need to understand if I am ever going to get a FordPass/OVO Charge Anytime solution to these problems or is this one of those jam tomorrow promises (a bit like nuclear fusion power plants) ?  The fact that FordPass are also at the same stage with Octopus and others does not give much choice really if you own a PHEV.  

Please keep up the good work and let us know any developments that you can, without compromising yourself or your contacts.  Thanks again.

Ford has walked away from just about every energy supplier. You’re better off doing it via the Charger if you have a Ford.
