  1. 2022 Lightning Battery Capacity = 98 kWh Standard Range and 131 kWh Extended Range + Trims Comparison Chart

    They make the claim currently "targeted EPA" so they can't really say city just yet.

  2. Seemingly inexpensive NEMA 14/50 option may have just gotten pretty expensive afterall

    The mobile charger would be good for most people if they have a proper 240VAC outlet I'd think. My EVSE was a hardware option but really simple to install 2 feet from panel.

  3. Use Lightning like a Power Wall? Peak load shaving, not backup?

    BMW i3 and Chevy Bolt. I spoke with quite a few highly trained i3 techs (even German) and all of them said no reserve trying to fix an issue. Every Bolt technical manual says no also.

  4. Home Back-Up and 80A EVSE Missing at Launch

    Pretty sure zero chance Ford is making or designing this charger.

  6. Lightning Allocations Are Out!?

    Might be worth it to log into Ford account to monitor tomorrow huh?

  7. 📒 2022 F-150 Lightning Order Bank Playbook With Pricing! Ordering Begin 1/6, Build & Price Tomorrow 1/4!

    I'd like to order a Pro but I don't think common users can order them. Doubt Ford will want to make many either. Hummer VP just had an interview where they mentioned that they wanted to put all the options on the first model.

  9. Use Lightning like a Power Wall? Peak load shaving, not backup?

    My two EV's don't have any hidden reserve. You can charge to 100%. The issue if going to 0 is kind of sketchy. Various things start to happen once you get close to some low point. Things stop working, things make warnings and the car will usually slow to a crawl and report all sorts of things...

  10. Power bank possible???

    My first EV was a BMW i3 with range extender. On paper I should have been able to make the 65 mile trip each day on battery and usually did but just barely. I spend most of the winters driving a loaner car because the REX was always throwing a code. Then you had to change oil and filter and put...

  11. White House releases plan to build nationwide network of 500,000 EV chargers

    Unless there are reliable and inexpensive public charging at places where someone normally goes or workplace charging then I don't believe anyone will like charging away from home. I find that it is a small hassle to plug and unplug each night at home. I can warm or cool it on home power before...

  13. Seemingly inexpensive NEMA 14/50 option may have just gotten pretty expensive afterall

    That electrican should have charged more. Every other electrican would have.

  14. Ford email confirms F-150 Lightning orders starting at “beginning of the new year”

    I suppose everyone has seen this pdf. F-150 Lightning Tech Specs (ford.com)

  15. Fleet sales manager at dealer says they expect 40% range reduction at 70 mph + , Is that possible?

    On my ev's I have rough guessed 1/5 Regen rate. It's something but nowhere near 1:1 return. Huge losses until superconductor motors.

  16. Fleet sales manager at dealer says they expect 40% range reduction at 70 mph + , Is that possible?

    We currently don't know what motors are being selected for the F-150. There are some newer motors that are quite efficient but I don't think it'll significantly do better than a Rivian. I'd look to the technology in the Mach E and use it for consideration

  17. 80A Charge Station Pro

    Before I got too far ahead of myself I think I'd discover if in fact you do need the full 80 amps. It may be possible that this charger has a jumper to select different current levels. There's a little bit more to selecting the proper wire size. The type of cable selected the size of the conduit...

  18. White House releases plan to build nationwide network of 500,000 EV chargers

    Why would you want Texas to have to follow some other state's rules?

  19. Fleet sales manager at dealer says they expect 40% range reduction at 70 mph + , Is that possible?

    Current real world testing examples of EVs. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-range-and-consumption-epa-vs-edmunds.html#chart I think on an F-150 at 70 flat road moderate temperature you'd be lucky to get two miles per kilowatt average.

  20. F-150 Lightning's Charge Station Pro : Vehicle-to-Grid Charger

    Ford comments on it seem to allow you to use it automatic backup or as a power wall
