Getting a charger installed for $300 is still a great deal. Your cost on wire/conduit and time is going to quickly approach that if you do it yourself. It really depends on where you live, but I would take that deal. Your contractor seems like quite a nice guy with the response he sent.

That would be easy to do. The Sigenergy is just a CCS1 or NACS connection. It can be removed and you could use the mobile charger or a wall charger every once and a while for AC. It would be a much more elegant solution than the pro power inverter (which can only be used as an off-grid...

If the pack will DC charge correctly through the charge port, we could see if it would work with the Sigenergy V2X charger. That would allow it to go on grid.

See if there is a way to use them for home battery storage. Do you have the connection for the charge port with them?

I think I have figured out how to "jump start" or fix this issue. I am not sure how, but one of my 2 iphones suddenly started working, so I knew it wasn't a truck issue holding me back. I connected to carplay with the other phone and began to try and figure it out. While in google maps on the...

The only 3rd party system officially for sale and working now is the Sigenergy system. It uses a DC bi-directional charger. It works on many vehicles (MachE, some Kia, some Tesla) in addition to the Lightning. Enphase has a similar technology as noted here. It just isn't for sale "yet"...

And you are using CarPlay correct? Android auto has worked for a long time. Does your walk away lock also work? did you ever have the dealer do the carplay? thanks for the info.

You keep going back to the Generac system, which is great for those who want that, but it not (on the surface) compatible with the original topic. The Generac transfer switch does not work with Hybrid inverter systems that have an automation transfer switch with generator input. The question...

I don't know if you have considered it, but I find the full Bed Rug to be awesome.

Before you go buying any adapters, you need to see which charging station Ford is even going to provide. You are not going to have a choice in the matter. Once you get the station, then you can determine the appropriate NACS adapter.

Do you have walk away lock working? Did you get the CarPlay TSB done at the dealer?

It’s important to note that the chargeverter will only work with 48v battery systems like sol ark and eg4. That is not an option for Franklin or Sigenergy. for the systems it works with though it is a nice option with the benefit of good isolation.

Do you have walk away lock working on your truck? Did you have the CarPlay TSB done by the dealer?

So its being reported with pictures that Google Maps using Carplay now integrates the turn by turn into the driver display. The only catch is it doesn't seem to work for everybody (including myself). Most people are reporting this after updating to one of the most recent Google Maps version on...

Do NOT do this! The Pro-power is a one way transfer. It cannot absorb power. Your other idea of trying to have a charger on the truck is terrible as well. It is going to try and pull a steady amount of power no matter what the rest of your system is doing. The moment you hit your charge...

I think I have my terminology wrong. I believe it is frequency shift. Hybrid battery inverters are able to frequency shift their signal when offgrid and the battery is full. AC coupled Solar inverters, by code, see the frequency shift and lower their output accordingly. It is basically a way...

No this would be extremely dangerous without a hybrid inverter and batteries that is made to manage that and can phase shift your solar to a safe condition if necessary.

As an owner of an HIS system, I can tell you it does work, but it is not the best system going forward. It is also very difficult to source now. If you want that functionality, there are starting to be many other options. Many of the major home battery systems now have a generator option that...

I definitely think you are on the right track. I think the best system for people right now is a smaller home battery (15-20 kWh), a small solar system (5+ kW), a bi-directional charger for the EV, and a small generator to have for emergency. Right now almost everyone is pushed to have a large...

Thanks. That is what I was saying in that a neutral transfer switch with the truck is extremely unsafe because it makes all your house completly un-grounded. Now with the alternate that most people are doing (standard generator input with ground wire disconnected) there is a risk still. It is...
