I am referring to the charger that comes w/the truck which allows you to charge anywhere on either available voltage. I chose not to have the wall charger installed as I have been very content w/the charger that came with my small Cmax and I figured I would just use the charger that comes w/the...
We had a 40 amp breaker & it is a 50 amp breaker that is needed. Ford totally misinformed me & my electrician. It pulls more than 32 amp, up to 44 reason the 40 amp breaker needs to be changed out.
No lonk yet, it is what the technical advisor told my electrician. I also tried to find it, I will research more. Here is proof that their documentation is misleading & wrong.
In California no permit is needed for an outlet. Again that is not the issue, the issue is that Ford screwed up and gave out the wrong information which is: a 50 amp breaker as the charger pulls up to 44 amps and not 32 as they claim> Reason there now is a pending class action lawsuit.
As per the service advisors at 2 Ford dealerships today, admitting the information given prior was incorrect as charger rated at 32 in reality is more like 44.
Ford was wrong saying the charger is 32 amps and fine on a 40 amp breaker, now they are admitting to being wrong and the breaker needs to be no less than 50 amp w/6 gauge wires thus I've got to change breakers & wires to be able to charge from the mobile charger.
My electrician is licensed and you do not need a permit to install an outlet in order to use the charger which comes w/the vehicle. I've charged my Cmax for 5 years on a 115 volts outlet w/o any problem. The truck requires more & it takes up to 4 days on 115 volts to charge, reason I chose to...
New chapter in the charging issue. Mt electrician did exactly what Ford was recommending, ran 8 gauge wires from the breaker box, grounded properly & the breaker is 40 Amps. Still not charging so on Friday morning I went to Galpin Ford to have them check the charger and see if it would charge at...
My new Lightning has 491 miles, I didn't want to buy the charger & rather use the one that comes w/the truck. I'm fully solar & I like the savings. * Last bill for 2 months was $ 22.00. My electrician ran a new 230 volt line, wires are the right gauge & breakers are 40 AMP. We did a test, the...
I received my new Lightning on May 23rd, yes; it is an amazing truck but in the 2 years of waiting for it and finally getting it, I have had some life changes.
I am possibly considering selling it.
It is Stone gray, XLT with the spray-on liner and it only has 351 miles so far.
Is there a...
RickLightning: It is confirmed the truck is on its way from Missouri to California, it is confirmed it is mine. Just waiting to hear now fromt he sales rep as to it's arrival and when to pick it up.
Per Galpin, there were so many reservations made in 2021 that it caused a computer glitch and...
I made the reservation, Galpin screwed up and lost all the reservations, and as a result; no additional requests for deposits were made and because I was not aware of the process.
I am sorry about the confusion, truck was ti be originally delivered May 2022.
I made the reservation in 2021.

My reservation made in 2020 was supposedly lost, when I called in April 2021 to inquire; that is when they told me it was lost and asked if I still wanted the truck. They had a record of my $ 100.00 deposit, I confirmed I still did indeed want the truck and re-ordered it with a $ 500.00 deposit...
Hello & thank you for allowing me to join your group.
I ordered my Lightning back in May 2021 with Galpin Ford, a $ 100.00 deposit was required which was fine. My truck was to be delivered May 2022, I contacted Galpin around February 2022 to see "how we were doing" with production. Well, come to...
