Well, turns out my local ford will not replace my faulty cable. I returned the original cable back in April 2019, and I'm over the 12,000 miles on the new cable. I understand why they want to replace the old faulty cables, but I'm furious because my old one worked, and now the new one has failed, right at the warranty mark.. They want over $400 for a new cable.
So, has anyone purchased a non-Ford version? There seems to be a lot of them for sale on various sites, even Walmart! Amazon has quite a few as well, for under $200. As long as they are J1772 correct? I am charging via 120V, type 1, if that is any help.
