The solar installer I'm talking to about using the Lightning without the SunRun system has suggested that FranklinWH batteries might work. Their web site says the batteries have a generator input that is meant to use with man sources including EVs. On the front page it says "The aPower is a...

Hi, I've started looking at solar installation at my house. Everyone quotes me putting in two Tesla batteries with the solar panels and other items. The batteries are expensive. I hate the idea of having my lightning and not using the truck to power things since it is equivalent, I'm told, to...

I charge from 1 AM to 6 AM to save money. This morning I had a charge fault message on my Ford app for the first time (at home). The truck was set to charge to 90% but stopped at 85%. The truck runs fine this morning. My guess is there was some sort of "blip" in the electrical grid that caused...

I have two electric cars now (Lightning 23 and Volvo XC Recharge Twin 24). How often should I drive my ICE vehicle to keep it in the best shape engine wise and tire wise, etc?

Hi, I use Apple Car Play wirelessly and have a recurring problem. First, playing music or a podcast often takes a while to connect and start playing. Sometimes it connects and plays right away. Sometimes it connects, and the time counter shows it is playing, but no sound. It seems random and...

Just got an email notice that the delivery of my free Ford Adapter has been pushed back from May to June. Glad I have the A2Z adapter. Hope Ford is underpromising and will over deliver.

not operational but near me, so I went to look. From the photos you can see how they have designed these new stations. Chargers are grouped 2x2 with cars to charge on opposite sides of the pair. There are at least two slots a lightning could pull into to charge without blocking other bays. There...

So I have an A2Z adapter and went to a Tesla charger for the first time to see if it would work. It's a bit fiddly to attach, but eventually I got it plugged into the car and it started charging with the blue lights. In a minute or so, the lights turned to red and on the dash it said there was a...

I took these three photos from the display in the truck. The back outlets are grayed out and can't be turned on or off. Another message suggests it is something that needs the dealer to fix. You folk are knowledgeable about these things and thought I'd ask here first what this all means.

Does anyone know which is more "fuel efficient", one pedal drive or regular two pedal driving?

I want to run a small telescope at night for astrophotography purposes from the bed of my new lightning. The truck itself will be plugged in and charging. Does the truck have to be "on", say, via the accessory mode from the start button? Will it stay on all night (unless power is drawn down to...

Hi folk. This forum has been VERY useful. I finally got my truck last Saturday. I work about 3 miles from my home and some days may only travel 10-15 miles. My question is this: for the health of the battery should I run it down to say, 25% over several days, or plug it in every night? Or does...

My truck has been here in town for 5 weeks but can't be released due to the recall for a faulty part that runs the heater and defroster. I've chatted with Ford twice and get the "rest assured Ford is working with suppliers yada, yada, yada" answer as to when the part will be available. Should I...

Been wondering why my Lightning was listed in production since 8/16. Got this email from Ford today. Parts shortage.
