Since getting my truck in Dec 2023 (XLT) my wife has purchased a Volvo XC 40 recharge twin. My ICE lease was about out (Honda Pilot) so yesterday I leased a Volvo XC90 PHEV. The Ford charger won't work with the Volvo PHEV. Can I use the 220 outlets on the truck to charge the Volvo if needed...

Thank you!!!! I will give it a try. Edit: the home location, in all the 12v issues and work done "clearing out" the electrical software,, had been deleted. I had tried to add it in the app before - no go - but in the truck it added just fine. I deleted all the preconditioning times and added...

My truck had a 12V battery issue and it was replaced. During the problem but now after replacement the truck and charger aren't communicating properly. Oh yeah, and at the same time I changed my wifi from an Orbi Wifi 6 mesh setup to a Deco Wifi 7 mesh system. During this time, the home location...

OK, took the vehicle to the dealer yesterday. End of the story, I hope. The LVB was "bad" when they tested it. Odd they didn't test it (hard to believe it wasn't bad a week ago when it was in for electrical error messages). It is working fine now and not in a deep sleep after a cold 20 degree...

My truck was built in August/Sept 2023 and arrived in my town mid October.

I don't know. They said they did some CSPs and "flushed out the system" software wise (whatever that means).

I get the second message frequently but not since it was in the shop last week.

Yeah, the message of deep sleep goes away when I drive the vehicle a few miles. This morning I got a message as I parked the truck that said "system off to Save Battery". I'm taking it back to the dealer this Thursday.

Interesting as they just checked the 12V and said it was OK.

It turned fairly cold in NC 1 week ago with lows in the low 20s. A couple of mornings my car has not heated up (not plugged in) and my watch reports the vehicle is in deep sleep modes. I know from the Ford site that there are three things that will put it into deep sleep: not driving for 14...

Thanks. sadingeldein@icloud.com

Thanks. My solar guy tells me the batteries coming out in Jan/Feb will have "smart switches" so I can change what is getting powered from my phone. Also noted that Time named FranklinWH the #103 green product company out of their top 250, FWIW.

The solar installer I'm talking to about using the Lightning without the SunRun system has suggested that FranklinWH batteries might work. Their web site says the batteries have a generator input that is meant to use with man sources including EVs. On the front page it says "The aPower is a...

Thank you for your info. I will buy and not lease.

Let me get that and get back to you. The company I like the most so far is out of Raleigh. Sun Management.
