Ford F-150 Lightning Charging question. 1692219522418


Seriously, what are you using to charge the truck?

Also, kWh is a quantity of energy. kW is the rate. For instance, the FCSP can charge at 19kW which over the course of one hour is 19kWh. 22kW isn't possible on level 2 chargers that I'm aware of. What are you using to determine the charge rates?

That would be 91.6 amps at 240 volt. I think someone mislead you.

22kW / 80A = 275V
Is that possible in a residential home? I looked up the website, very misleading to promote that it can do up to 22kW.

And Rick is correct, the truck's onboard charger for charging the truck is a separate piece of equipment than the ProPower inverter. I hope it wasn't the dealership that told you that.

The maximum voltage the utility can supply and still be adhering to ANSI specs is 253V.

Edit - this is for a 240V system. Utilities can supply systems with higher utilization voltages (480V, for example).

I haven't done a full review of thier products yet, but I have seen and used them. I from my limited experience I'd say they are average to slightly below average as far as build quality.
