  1. PSA: Get an Additional BlueCruise Year for Free (2022 and 2023 Models)

    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.
  2. Are there any real bidirection chargers available?

    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...
  3. Charging home battery backup system using F150 lightning

    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...
  4. Stuff I wished that I had known BEFORE I bought

    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...
  5. Annual Energy Usage - What Was Yours Last Year?

    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.
  6. Taxman's Lightning Chronology

    It’s going to be 82 degrees in Houston today. Electric rates are about 1/3 what you are paying.
  7. Stuff I wished that I had known BEFORE I bought

    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...
  8. PSA: Get an Additional BlueCruise Year for Free (2022 and 2023 Models)

    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.
  9. Answers to "When does my LVB get charged" (with graph)

    On your graph from about 8:15pm to 6:45am the next day, was the truck actively charging (energy being put into the battery) or just sitting with the charger plugged in. I suspect it finished charging at the 6:45 time frame, which matches all my previous data. One reason I set my charge station...
  10. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    While I have no plans to be outside of TX for a little while, I suppose for the right incentive it is possible...
  11. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    I know you are being sarcastic but honestly I would like to help everyone. It’s easier for people in TX though. I actually have helped some people on the way for business trips.
  12. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    If you want to private message me, I can see if I can help you out.
  13. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    Its important to keep perspective on this as well. The Sigenergy max rate is 25kW or a mere fraction of the 433 kW the drive motors can pull. The normal rate would be 11.4kW max or about 33A. Again a small percentage of the battery packs charge/discharge rate capabilities. The voltage...
  14. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    Sigenergy doesn’t work with vehicles that don’t report the state of charge. It also has settings for lowest vehicle state of charge allowed.
