Let's Talk About the other EVSE included with the Lighting

[MickeyAO]

For all those that bought the ER, you have the Ford Charger Pro coming (including me). I have no plans on installing this for a couple of different reasons:

1 - I live in an older house and fully expect to have to pay over $10k to have all of the equipment installed, and upgrades to the panel for the house backup.
2- The wife's PHEV does not have the CCS connector, so she would not be able to use this.

I've heard mention of another EVSE coming with ALL Lightings regardless of battery size. Do we have information on this to include plug type and max amps?

Is anyone with the SR interested in buying my Ford Charger Pro? What should I expect to get for it?

It looks to be the same unit that is included with the Mach-E. 30 amps and needs a NEMA 14-50 plug for 220V.

The PDF seems to suggest that this is a 120/240 volt device or am I missing something?

You can use either. You switch the plug end for the voltage you want to use.

It doesn't help with the wife's car not having a CCS connector, but the EVSE that comes with the lightning ER can be setup to draw as little as 19A (if I remember the number correctly) or a few different ones in between as well. It does not HAVE to be on a 100A breaker and use the full 80A charge it is capable of.

This provides more info (page 2).

The Ford Charger Pro is probably going to fetch $2 - $3k, assuming you can find someone that needs it.

I will also not be using it unless my current home plus doesn’t end up working. I don’t need the home power up feature although it’s nice to have as a backup. But yeah $10k, no thanks

Yep I'm going to use a 14-50 plug. Wish the charger went higher than 30 amps though.

It's actually 28 per people who use it and measured.

So if you order the ER you get both chargers? I had assumed they’d replace the the lower amp one with the charge station pro rather than providing both.

You get the 80A pro charger as well as the mobile charger.
You do not get that 60A ford connected charger with either vehicle that was posted.

Ouch Yeah going to have to look for another solution then.

So if you have a 14-50 wired with a 50amp breaker is there a 3rd party mobile charger that supports the ~40amps it will provide?

Edit - Looks like there are some 3rd party options hopefully they will be compatible.

There are many 40 amp chargers available. JuiceBox has a 40amp charger. You can also buy up to a 48amp charger and get it hardwired. I have the JuiceBox 48 and love it.

Yeah I'm looking for a mobile 40A, I don't want to leave the charger hanging outside my house.
