The sheer irony of that statement is thicker than wet cement. I would challenge Ford to show that they can even perform (much less enforce the delivery of) a power up within 30 days to customers. I have considered buying an EV just as stationary storage once I can get one for under $10k (we...

The Rivian issue is with the truck in that it does not report back the state of charge properly over the CCS protocol. As a safety measure the Sigenergy shuts it down because it has not idea what the truck is doing. I have heard from a couple of people that even with the latest walk away lock...

Back on topic to this thread, and the fact that I own both the Ford/Sunrun and Sigenergy systems, I can say that there are some big differences for the two. One of the main keys for me was that both the Sigenergy load hub (automatic transfer switch) and inverter have native Ethernet...

I already have a couple threads going on my Sigenergy (formerly Pointguard) system, but do plan on a full writeup and possibly my first video when I get the V2X added. I can't really disclose my cost, but I will say I paid less than that advertised distributor, and did all my own work. It does...

Just to advise that this requires a few other components to work. It is not a stand alone product. It is an amazing system though. I am reinstalling the extra electrical this week and should have the V2X module within about 3 weeks.

The Sigenergy system does exactly what you want to do from a TOU case with home batteries. For the truck you can use their generator inlet and pro-power onboard in an off-grid condition. On grid they have a V2X module that works like the Home Integration System.

The Ford HIS system is $3800, and the charger is about $1400. The HIS includes a solar/battery hybrid inverter (as well as the input from the truck). It also includes a 200A automatic transfer switch. It is actually quite a similar price to other systems that are out there such as EG4...

I can’t speak to it personally because mine never quite worked but there are others who have it working. The m-professional app does have time of use and other modes for the battery including self consumption.

So have you lost $8k or do you get a discount on your reserved vehicle?

The problem is that it is Sunrun, not Ford, that is really in charge of this system. That gets complicated if you didn’t use them for the install. Ford will definitely try and help but their hands are somewhat tied it seems.

The Sigenergy V2X is what the Ford HIS could/should have been.

On the market there is only Sigenergy. Enphase and others are perpetually coming soon.

The problem is that the truck is Ford, charger is Siemens, inverter is Delta, battery is LG, and Sunrun is the only company authorized to make them all work together. The communication is also a proprietary setup and not any sort of industry standard. I too have hope that the Ford system gets...

There are more options on the market now and others coming soon as well.

I have had intermittent issues with my modem for 2 years now. One drive it works, and the next it won't. It has no particular pattern. If I fully reset it, then it might go a week or so before becoming bad again. Welcome to the club.
