Is there a way to allow the use of the "Public Charging" app on the console while the vehicle is in motion? Would be nice to not have to pull off the freeway and stop so my passenger can find an in-network charger...

It has been discontinued.

The Public Charging app is decommissioned, so no. But you can always use Connected Navigation to find chargers while driving, whether you're navigating with it or not. It's super helpful to find chargers that are coming up and which exits they're at.

I still find it extremely stupid that Ford discontinued the Public Charging app. Definitely was a great way to make drivers more reliant on their phone to just be able to charge...

They should remove the app if it is discontinued. After these replies I tried it out while park and it suggested I use the Fordpass app on my Phone. Of course you can't touch your phone while not in park in my state, so that was a no go. This is the same reason I don't use the EA app on my phone while driving.

Then digging further I found it in nav, which I never use but I guess I will when needing to find a charger enroute.
