See if you utility offers something like described in this thread, where a guy got a free PG&E meter transfer switch that works with the Lightning, powers the whole house. Sounds too good to be true, but I applied and am in line to get one, fingers crossed it works...
I've never used the included Ford mobile charger.
I'd be curious to see the results of a poll asking:
* I've never used my FMC
* I sometimes use my FMC
* I exclusively charge with my FMC at 120V
* I exclusively charge with my FMC at 240V
Many of us had the battery module issue, it's not uncommon. And depending on the dealer it takes a day or a couple of months. Mine took one day as I made sure to take it to a dealer that has experience working on EV's (not the dealer I bought it from). Ford was great and made the appointment...
Hi @Wsh68 , just checking in to see if you've had the chance to use this again. I've been checking the PG&E website and they finally this week restarted this program after reaching the limit for 2023. Fingers crossed I'll get approved and get it installed. However one thing they require is...
So you started the trip with 100%, had 75% at halfway point, and 50% at end of trip. Sounds to me like you used the exact same amount of battery on each leg of the trip, or am I missing something? Ignore the numbers the GOM gives you, the % is actual numbers not a guess.
Curious what you paid for your new '23 Lariat ER before tags/taxes -- was it really $75K? If so prices really dropped since I purchased my '22 SR Lariat for $69K, and that was before the big price increases.
That doesn't sound right. I have an SR and the 235 miles at 100% matches what I see on the GOM, but I do better than that in general, averaging 2.3 mi per KWhr, so I think I would make it even further than 235. Maybe you have some excessive hills or wind to deal with on the way to your...
Thanks for this info, I had not heard of this device or the PGE program to provide them for free. Note that the PGE link you provided mentions that the program is over for 2023 but will be resumed again in 2024.
I am in a Tier 2 Fire threat area, so should qualify. For anyone wondering, I...
The SR Lightning maxes out at 120 kW, and that's only at the start of charging if SOC is low. So it's not an EA issue, it's as designed. See https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/electric-vehicles/f-150-lightning/f-150-lightning-charging-frequently-asked-questions/, which says this:
Can I...
You got me curious to see if PG&E (and CA in general) is actually the most expensive for residential electrical costs. The prices are tracked for each state here:
https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a
Here are charts showing the highest and lowest 10 states...
That doesn't sound right. At 37 cents and a $50 bill, that means you used ~135 kWh for the entire month, is that right? .37 sounds like the all-in price to me for PG&E. My distribution cost with PG&E is a fixed 37.6 cents per day (~$11.50/month). No way that your is $150, their rates don't...
I have the EV2A rate (for EV owners) with PG&E, the current off-peak (midnite to 3pm) rate is 27.2 cents, just went up from 25.1 cents on July 30. That includes all but the min distribution charge, which is a fixed 37.6 cents per day (~$11.50/month).
This is my first truck, and I also just barely fit into the garage (about 8" to spare), but it's definitely worth it. It measure 3 feet longer than our Jeep Grand Cherokee, so if I know we are going somewhere with tight parking I'll take that instead of the Lightning, but in general it's not...
Are they lost or do you just need to scroll down to see them? Try using the right arrow button on the steering wheel to cycle thru the presets to see if they are still there.
