You don't say what year your truck is, but I'm guessing 23. This thread is referring to 2022. But in general the issue is that *nobody* understands all the nuances. Updates are rolled out *individually* to each vehicle depending on 12 volt state of charge, phase of the moon or who knows what...

Thanks guys. That is enough info to be dangerous I think 🤪 For just the 12V monitoring I think I'd be fine with the app from the BM200. I'll start with that. What I was thinking longer term was for monitoring the interior temperature. Even though I've had no problems to date, leaving the dog...

Getting a bit off topic I suppose, but can you recommend any resources for setting up a Pi for remote monitoring?

Goodwill is a thing though. We could come back and buy another Ford product, theoretically, if we are happy with how they supported the last one. But yeah the bean counters will probably win

There is a LOT of wishful thinking in this thread. Ford does not even want us to know that a 12 volt battery exists. They do mention it in the manual but only because they have to in the case of roadside failure, I think. My 23 doesn't even have charging rate on the dash. It was a battle just to...

I did a similar trip (minus the elevation) to check out the cold weather performance shortly after I got my truck. 5-600 km in -25 to -30 C. Efficiency was 45 kWh/100 km. Worked great overall, just uses a bit more juice. Two years later, my opinion has not changed.

1. What EVSE are you using? Are there any warning/error indicators from it? If it's the Ford mobile charger, those are known to be crap and the first thing I would try is a different EVSE. 2. Do you have a charging window (preferred start/stop times) and are plugging in at a low-ish state of...

Yeah, the pricing is not front and centre at all with PlugShare. Problem is, it's really not as straightforward as gas. Some places have session fees, idle fees, different prices with membership/subscription, different prices at different times of day... it's a mess. I imagine we'll get to a...

One of the lights quit working on mine and they had to replace the whole running board instead of just the light. Warranty repair so it made no difference to me, but it sure seems like a crazy way for Ford to burn money by not having parts available.

Ford decided to start banning people from FDRS for helping others. So probably not

Is the later quote missing some context, like maybe it's in a discussion about full size trucks specifically? The first one is about their UEV platform. I thought they hadn't announced any changes to that, and in fact had reiterated that would be their main focus going forward with EVs. The UEV...

Now that there's fast charging in Vanderhoof that definitely improved things. Like for me in PG, a day trip to hike Mt Pope was kind of dicey especially in the winter, with the only charging stop the unreliable 25 kW at Cluculz. Now it's a piece of cake. Now that BC Hydro has taken over the MOT...

With the EREV setup it will certainly be better than existing plugin hybrids, but I agree it's trying to sell people what they think they need vs. what they actually need. They're going to alienate most people who have driven an EV. Not sure this is a great long term strategy. Like, if my...

This has already happened. They've announced the fee is gone

I am going to try the Pion GreenMiles program. Similar deal, aggregating and selling your EV charging as carbon offset credits. They are offering 10c/kWh, which is probably not sustainable (loss leader / bait-and-switch incoming lol). I bet they will reduce it within a year. BUT with the...

Right, to me the appeal is adding a DIY range extender battery pack + inverter in the bed. If you add 30 or 40 kWh worth of batteries you could add some meaningful range for those increasingly rare situations when you need it, and charge and discharge it silently. Keep the tonneau cover closed...

Ford has determined that we shouldn't bother our pretty little heads about it. And also we are far too dumb to handle a "Start preconditioning now" manual function.

Does your truck not have the sensor on the door handle to unlock by touching it? My 23 XLT does, so I would have thought the Lariat would. But I am not at all familiar with European spec

It's not plug and charge. But you can now activate (and pay for) BC Hydro chargers from the FordPass app. I did that on my last trip to the coast end of September.

I'm kind of in the camp that this would not be needed for the vast majority of use cases. But intrigued by the possibilities. If I wanted to drive to Tuktoyaktuk, today, I would definitely need a generator. My current thought would be to charge while stopped, of course, since that's all these...
