When you have 2 different neutral bonded locactions, it turns any ground conductor between them into a normal current carrying conductor (parallel paths). This is why the truck trips, because it senses the current on the ground wire, and/or doesn't see the full return current on the neutral...

Thats too bad, or I would have considered buying the one you have. It wouldn't need the onboard AC charger, but would still need enough of the system to plug in a CCS cable and do the CCS DC charging handshake for my V2X system to work with it. It could also need some sort of coolant pump...

With the bad module removed, would it still be possible to operate? Possibly as a home storage unit? How hard would it be to have the charge port operational, so it could work with a V2X bidirectional charger? Same question for both ford or Tesla packs.

If it makes you feel better, my TCU barely works even in the United States. Most days it is out to lunch, and Fordpass will tell me my truck is on and driving about 50 miles from where it is parked. You are not really missing anything unless you really need remote start (out of bluetooth...

Keep in mind that the truck has no surge current. If you try to start some sort of motor load it is likely to trip. If you have some sort of pump on your emergency load panel then I would test it before the storm.

I won't speak on behalf of anyone, but I know there are several of these systems working with the Lightning. Due to the tax credit rush there has been delays in getting new ones out. I think a lot more people are going to get equipment later this month (including myself). There are also...

My 3 year trial period has already ended and I am in my free renewal. It is only one year though and expires 12/31/26. I gotta figure out how I can get it extended. My window sticker showed Bluecruise included with no other conditions attached.

Very true. Enphase has shown prototypes for like 4 years now. I do agree that out of the rest, they are the most likely to actually get here in 2026. The only ones on the market that I am aware of are Sigenergy V2X and the Wallbox Quasar 2 (which currently only is sold to Kia EV9 owners but...

Actually if you live in a market (ERCOT) that BASE power serves, you are way better off with your own batteries if you can afford the up front cost. By choosing the right plan, and shifting your load, you can essentially get free electricity for the home and vehicle. Since getting my Sigenergy...

There is quite a large performance/usability/function difference between what the Ford HIS is "supposed to do" and what a manual transfer switch with some critical loads does. The issue is that the Ford system couldn't even do what it was supposed to. I have that system, but also have the...

According to Charge Station Pro it is 11,600 kWh. I had a bit of public charging too. Here is the house and truck combined.

It’s going to be 82 degrees in Houston today. Electric rates are about 1/3 what you are paying.

For the whole home backup, there are 3rd party solutions on the market like Sigenergy, and several more to come soon. There are a few people now with Sigenergy V2X recently installed, and more (like mine) soon. I will provide a lot more info once mine is installed and operational. Enphase...

In the 22/23 the window sticker showed bkuecruise included on some trims. No mention of trial or subscription. This is their way of honoring that.
