OUR FORD CHARGE STATION PRO DIED AGAIN - SO IT'S TIME FOR A BRAIN SWAP

EV Channels Review

The Ford Charge Station Pro (FCSP) continues to be a source of frustration for the reviewer, despite its critical role in providing V2H and V2G capabilities for their all-electric home. The unit has repeatedly failed, necessitating frequent replacements and resets. The video details the process of a manual reset and then a more involved 'brain swap' to replace a faulty main board. While the reviewer praises the concept of V2H/V2G, they highlight significant issues with the FCSP's reliability, proprietary firmware, and a poorly-rated smartphone app. The core problem appears to be a recurring failure of the unit's Wi-Fi chip, rendering it unable to connect to the home network and thus unusable for its intended purpose. The reviewer successfully replaces the main board with a spare, restoring functionality and connectivity, but expresses a strong desire for more reliable V2H solutions from other manufacturers, given the ongoing issues with Ford's offering.
