hoping i can trade my 2022 in this year for a 24, little worried the dealers don't want them but maybe moving a new truck is enough incentive to take it in on trade.

Not 24’s since they aren’t even out yet but my dealer has 23 platinums for 12k off . you will take a bath on your trade in but maybe with $12k it’s worth it.

You have an EVSE (Electric Vehicle Servicing Equipment) in the garage. It only provides AC power to the OBC (On Board Charger) located on the vehicle that converts the AC current to DC that the HVB uses.

The original ERs had 2 9.6 kW OBCs that could provide 80 A to the battery pack. A single 11 kW OBC can only deliver 45 A.

Doesn't matter to me, as my wife's EV6 and my ER share a single 9.6 kW EVSE.

What happens if you have a 80 amp and buy a 24 or 25? Do we have to set our 80 amp to a lower setting or will our truck just charge at the highest speed it can?

The truck will handle it. The vehicle always determines the charge rate up the max communicated by the EVSE.

i did not realize the charger is in the truck I really thunked that box on the wall was the charger so thanks for that. It seems that one complaint is speed of charging the truck so that seems to be the reverse of progress with these trucks.

oh really? so no more 80 amp home charging on any models?
80 Amp charging remains available for 24 Fleet ER only, Pro and Flash. Its a standalone option code 99M. I have one on order, and this restriction sealed the deal for my Trim decision.

Wonder if they found out a lot of people weren't installing at full power (100 amp breaker is pretty large)...I could only spare a 60 amp breaker where I installed my charge station pro (my moms house). My house only has room for 30 amp, so I just kept my mobile charger from my Tesla and bought an adapter.

Thanks for the update, I started using Autotrader.com to glean through dealer stock orders, so far I've captured the following, still looking for build week 1/15 which was selected on the 4th or 5th of January.

I have tried through 4 different dealers in my area (Northern Virginia) to order a 24 Flash since 1 Jan, and all of them are saying that the Flash is already allocated out for the entire MY? All builds are already spoken for, and they are not even available yet on the Ford.com configuration tool?
