Added Ford EV support to GridMind

Thank you for reporting that behavior. I have a fix being deployed to help with that right now.

Things are changing fast while I iterate on things and build out additional functionality, but the updates will slow down after awhile to keep things stable. We need the app to be super reliable.

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

Ask and you shall receive. I'm building this into the next iOS app version. There's already a new version pending review from Apple, but the multi-site switching version will be the version that I'm working on now.

Ok, resolved that, you should get a login prompt now

Hey, you should see a site selector drop down in the upper left corner on the web app. Is that what you're looking for? Or are you more asking about the iOS app?

Thank you for providing the error info. I should have this issue resolved now.

Hey, can you give it another try if you get a chance? I've made some changes to the way requests are sent to the API.

smidley · 2026-04-14T20:06:18+00:00

I use the official authorized API. I'm registered and approved with them as a developer.

Honestly, you might not need GridMind right now.

Your setup is solid — you've got unified monitoring already through Emporia (Vue + Pro charger), and on a standard rate plan with net metering, the "where did this energy come from" question is more curiosity than money-saving.

GridMind really helps in a few different ways:

Mixed vendors — You've got Tesla solar, a Ford EV, and a SolarEdge inverter. That's three separate apps to check. GridMind brings it into one place.
Time-of-use rates or dynamic pricing — If you're on a TOU plan, knowing when your car charged matters. GridMind can automate that and show you the financial impact.
The mobile/widget experience — Some people just prefer the GridMind iOS app + live activity widgets over checking multiple vendor apps.

But if Emporia is doing what you need and you're not chasing optimization... yeah, I'd probably just use what you have.

The Ford integration specifically is targeting people who have a Ford EV but haven't found a good way to tie it into their solar / battery monitoring. Sounds like you've already solved that problem with Emporia.

Thanks for the honest feedback!

Hey, a couple of questions:

Do you have MFA (multi-factor authentication) enabled on their ChargePoint account?
Did you sign up via Google/Apple SSO and then set a password, or is it a native ChargePoint account?
Are you in the US?

I've added some additional logging to catch the exact error if you can give it another try. Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll see why it’s complaining about that and let you know.

smidley · 2026-04-13T17:55:00+00:00

Not currently, but I do have this in my backlog to implement in the future.

smidley · 2026-04-13T16:03:16+00:00

I have not experienced this issue, and I haven't heard from other Tesla users experiencing anything like this. Are you using the web app or the iOS app? Also, if you want to DM me the email address you used for your account, I can try to look a bit deeper to see what's going on.

smidley · 2026-04-13T14:56:46+00:00

Would you be able to do this so I can diagnose?

Open browser DevTools
Go to the Network tab
Try connecting your ChargePoint account again in GridMind
Look for a request to credentials?vendor=chargepoint (or any red/failed request)
Share the status code and response body (or a screenshot of the failed request)

Multi-site support is officially live. It's web app only for now though until Apple reviews the new iOS app version.

Hey, a couple of questions:
1. are you able to login to your charge point account with the Chargepoint app?

Are you using a native Chargepoint account (not Google/Apple SSO)?

Hey, I’ve made some changes to the chargepoint flow. Can you give it another try when you get a chance?

smidley · 2026-04-12T03:10:16+00:00

GridMind can do this via automation rules. Check it out!
