The Lucid rear motor assembly is an engineering marvel. The differential is inside the rotor inside the stator. Because it is before the final drives, the differential can be very small. The entire package is compact and not heavy. This is how American made vehicles can excel through...

Chev Bolts need to have a dealer installed software update. All other GM products can charge using an adapter. However, GM is NOT giving away their $225 adapter.

Came across this article https://www.evengineeringonline.com/how-liquefied-gas-electrolytes-can-address-the-achilles-heel-of-li-ion-batteries/ Included interesting chart about cold weather impact with Lightning looking good With regard to summer, the heat doesn't have impact either. They...

Has anyone with a scanner kept track of the voltage at the various State Of Charge levels of HV battery? I am trying to determine the battery voltage at the 50%, 60%, 70%, ... SOC shown on the dash. Thanks

On one hand BP wants to get into building charging stations while at the same time hedging their bets against EV adoption: https://bppulsefleet.com/press/bp-unveils-first-us-bp-pulse-ev-charging-gigahub/...

Interesting review of how it is built. Again, the most expensive part of the vehicle that can't be repaired!!

I stumbled across this today, and had fun testing it. It is ONLY a visual demonstration of the impact of preconditioning, and the outside temperatures, verse the EPA rating posted on the window sticker. https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/f150-lightning/?gnav=header-electrified-vhp You input a...

Is it possible to change from ATT to Verizon for the truck's Hotspot without major surgery?

This report thinks temps over 86 degrees F. will accelerate battery degradation, but doesn't give amount of impact. Points out that keeping the vehicle plugged in during hot weather will allow the battery management system to work using public power. It suggests LFP batteries will handle hot...

Latest on Munro visit to Amprius battery in Fremont, Calif. Safe to say Sandy was impressed. The 7 year cycle for battery improvement may have just been shortened.

The Warranty for the Truck's battery emphasizes following page 196 of the owner's manual. Page 196 states it is even more important to limit DC fast charging the standard range battery to preserve it's health. I assume the same pouch cells are used in both the Extended and Standard range...

Regarding the "CHMSL Camera Removal" credit on my 2023 PRO, was just the camera removed, or was the module, harness, and camera all removed? How tough will it be to reestablish the bed camera? Thanks

I found this video interesting in light of the Tesla system becoming available to all. He explains how voltage and amperage works together to slow down charging cars with higher voltage batteries.

The manual indicates a fully charged 12v battery is required for some software updates, and there are several posts here about that. The manual also suggests a winter driving kit include a jump battery, not jump cables. Clearly the truck is dependent on its 12v battery. The DC to DC...
