My cost per mile is also about $.02. Easy to calculate as I generate all my electricity with solar panels on my roof. At the end of the year I get a check from the local electric company- they only pay me $.05 per kWh so that is essentially my marginal cost. If I used less electricity I...

Yes, my Lightning has been good so far, two years with only minor updates and wiper motor recall.

Thanks for doing that testing and providing us the information here. This forum is useful for things like that where you do the actual tests instead of reading the Ford manuals.

True- but nothing "odd" about that exception- it makes sense because the UL requirements for a 15 amp receptacle call for it to handle 20 amps. And they are careful to say it is only allowed if there are multiple receptacles on the circuit. I hardly ever use my Pro Power but now it is...

Well the National Electric Code allows 15 amp outlets on 20 amp circuits as stated above. So by your definition there are fire hazards all across the USA! But notice that they don't allow a single 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit.

Lots of wrong assumptions on this thread. Any electricians familiar with the NEC (National Electrical Code) can tell you that a circuit (say 20A rated) does NOT have to exclusively use 20 amp rated outlets. There is an exception in Code which permits the common...

Thanks for letting me know- I'll try that- I have the same frequency of occurrence but don't remember it at all for the first 18 months I owned my truck.

You should not use the Ford portable charger in a 30 amp (dryer outlet). I use the SplitVolt charger for traveling - most rental houses have 30 amp dryer outlets- Outer banks houses usually have the dryer on the ground level. So with a 50 foot 10 awg extension cord and my Splitvolt 24Amp...

I often get the same black screen on my 2022 XLT Lightning. Sometimes it restarts after a few minutes- other times not until I power down and then start again. My phone used to always work on Bluetooth with this truck it now has issues about 25% of the time where the phone answers but I...

Agree 100%- but I used my 24 amp dryer plug charger (Split Volt) to fully charge overnight at my Nags Head rental house on my last vacation there. There is a 50kW unit in Avon on the outer banks but it did not connect with my truck last year. So nice that most rental houses have their dryers...

You are right- I have a Hyundai Ioniq 6 along with my Lightning. Use the 300+ mile range Ioniq 6 for longer trips and the Lightning for around town, driving on the beach, and hauling. My Lightning has been fine but the Ioniq 6 suited me better than the glass roofed MachE. It seems like Ford...

With a cap on my truck I leave the keyfob in the back while kitesurfing. Just carry the small key to my cap. So a thief could break in but they would also have to know where the keyfob was in the back- it's far enough away that the truck doesn't start.

Exactly right. 30amps at 240V is what I have used for two years and two EVs. Never a conflict as they don't usually both charge on the same day.

Have you asked for the 30 amp option? That's what I use as I already had a 30 amp outlet in my garage. Then the Grizl-E or similar charger where you can limit the charge to 24 amps. Charges my XLT overnight easily. If you show an electrician a 40 amp charger then they have to install a...

Silver Light

Thanks for sharing these photos. If my adapter ever arrives it's nice to see that I can reach the charge port at least at this newer type station.

Reduced power available. 88% is still plenty of power for almost anything except a drag race. So with a low state of charge there is less power available. I've only seen that less than 100% when I was down to 20% state of charge. I usually run 40% to 90% so don't see any reduced power.

The rep claimed I would get an email. But nothing yet although the phone app showed my proper email and mailing address. I don't really travel much with this vehicle- I'll just keep relying on the longer range of my Ioniq 6.

The website is just having big problems- I entered a chat with a Ford person and got it to work from the Ford Pass App on my phone. Terri said that they were aware of the website issues. . .

Website still crashing for me- so at least you placed an order.
