Thanks! I learn new stuff every day on this feed.

Very informative! Yeah, just removing grounds just seems to be where I draw the line. If it were a cheaper truck and cheaper house, or a workshop, I'd probably goof around with it, and get zapped.

It's great to hear from a Lightning owner. I have seen that set up! It would seem perfectly safe given both entities are grounded no matter what. The method does make me pause, just because of insurance and warranty issues, but damned if I wouldn't do it during another shit show like we had...

I have a feeling this post will be used for a long time. I can't thank you enough. It's an entire how-to pamphlet!

From everything I've seen this far, and the lack of anyone with a success story with the connection "as is" this does seem like a way to just get on with it. If I may ask your (and others') opinion further, just to verify from my non-electrical background... Since the transfer switch would...

Do you mean at the inlet? Wouldn't disconnecting the ground there solve the issue of the dual grounds? I'm not an electrician, so I'm just trying to understand this stuff.

I 100% want that equipment.

This is a logical and detailed explanation that even a guy like me can grasp. Thanks a million! Looks like they just leave it to us to land the neutral in the transfer switch receptacle. No electrician is going to willingly bypass code. This is really a goofy situation.

Wow, thanks so much. It makes perfect sense. I'll send that information over.

I've sent a message to Franklinwh engineering. I'm really curious to see what's what.

This...

Thanks, for sure. Maybe they're thinking of some future V2H function. Either way... Tolis dumb

Ok, it's been an ongoing issue with a VERY good and legitimate solar company in here in town, who sold me a great, Franklinwh battery system. I also purchased the "generator module" and of course I've taken a deep dive on the topic, because Franklin explicitly shows the Ford Lightning to be...

We just got the Franklin aPower2 with the smart generator component. The system has the capability to switch to "off grid" mode. We'll let everyone know how it goes.

I need one to add to my EV truck quiver. But, these scratch-offs aren't cooperating!

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing those memories!

I did the same thing last year. Drove all the way to Duck Thru just to top up. Mucho better!

Happened to be charging-up at the Tesla array right across the parking lot from the brand new (commissioned late last night) Rivian chargers!! I unhooked my truck, drove across the lot, and promptly pulled-through the far one of the six brand new chargers and it worked perfectly. Only a year...

Luckily, my solar electrician is coming back and fixing everything they can. I'll keep everyone posted.

I'll show the electrician all if these, and we'll get this thing sorted. I really appreciate all of this information!
