The wiring is still required for any other evse of the same current. Don't worry, the fcsp has a warranty and considering most ER trucks came with one there are way less complaints. It doesn't like to push 80a in 120degree sun.
A real world scenario for me is that my electricity has a peak / off peak / and super off peak tier . I need to charge starting at midnight and then leave for work at 6:00am ( which is also when the tier changes ) So I'm close to 80,000 miles since June 2022 so I regularly come home to 20% SOC every night and I charge to 90% so the 80 amp charger and the 2022 lariat er with dual on board chargers makes a huge difference for me.
It’s worth the cost - which was about $550 for me but it was an easy install. That’s said, parts wear out. I’d have to pop the cover off but I thought that the cord is torqued down to bolts inside, which should mean a relatively easy replacement.
After seeing this the other day, I looked at mine and forgot to take a picture. So I took one tonight and I’m curious if others looking at my picture think that my DC pins look slightly pushed in? Perhaps a design flaw or my imagination?In your photo it looks like the metallic female sockets on both sides (DC+ and DC-) have broken and/or been pushed back out of position in the plug handle. I have attached a photo of my FCSP charger plug for comparison. I don't know if the plug is a serviceable part, but if not, hopefully a replacement cable is available as a part.
OK, I feel better now—LOL
