interesting, i have a 23 XLT and they have always been helpful and efficient. but i get it, depends on the issues i’m sure

Clermont Ford has done a nice job for me.

I almost exclusively use FPL (Florida Power and Light) DCFC chargers when running around the state and Tesla outside FL. Price has been a solid $0.30 for several years from FPL without any subscription plans. However, as of 1/2026, that goes up to $0.45 systemwide. That's a 50% increase. There...

So here’s my experience towing a 8.5’x20’ enclosed flat nose car hauler with my ‘23 SR in the Orlando area. I wIl get 98 miles from 100% to 10% left almost every time I haul one of my fairly lightweight cars behind my truck. I found 55-60 to be optimal on a mix of back roads and freeways. I...

I paid 37.05 in january for my chevy bolt registration in Lake County Florida for 12 months

I have had this happen many times both on my 2023 SR and on my 2019 Chevy Bolt over the last few years when charging only at EA DCFCs. I spoke to an EA tech rep a few years back and they said that their DCFC connector contacts to the vehicles charge port can act up as they get older and the...

Climate Settings?

I have 28 % xpel ceramic all around and the same on windscreen to the AS1 line. it is a massive upgrade from stock and came from the tint shop with a Florida State compliance sticker affixed to door jamb that the Florida Highway Patrol looked at once when I got stopped for it. They just nodded...

I have an A2Z extension cord in use on my hardwired Enel Juicebox V2 with a OpenEVSE board inside. It has worked without fail on my Lightning, Chevy Equinox EV and Chevy Bolt. I have been running it at 48amp amp max output of the Juicebox. Seems to be just fine but it does get slightly warm but...

5.28

I am 2023 XLT SR.

I installed FordPass 5.28 on Sept 15th via standard Apple APP Update facility and my home screen doesn't look anything like that. I am missing the "controls" button and the "Productivity and PRO Power" sections and I certainly have the 9.6 Pro Power. I am on IOS 26.1 Beta. I have a 2023 SR.

Washington state electricity is cheap because of the Federal Columbia River Power System (aka Grand Coulee/Bonneville/etc hydroelectric system). Built starting in like the late 1930's by the ACOE. I think Grand Coulee is still the biggest hydro plant in the USA. That is some amazing renewable...

It's another choice that can be made, I wouldn't agree it is a good financial one or maybe even an environmental one. The cost of a large BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) at utility scale is immense but declining AND it is just another source of intermittent power. You still need something...

There is a complex cost relationship between utility provided intermittent renewable energy generation and the need for utility natural gas (generally) equivalent dispatch-able power generation for when the renewable sources fail to shine or blow. Many states are running the basically flawed...

Thanks, I will try that compass arrow icon out, I have not noticed that it "times out" and I have waited quite a bit of time (minutes)

I have googled around, searched the forums and I have Carplay in my Chevy Bolt since 2019 and I still do not know the answer to the following. When you have a route in progress on the iphone and put your finger on the Lightning display screen with the map open and drag the screen around to view...

I have encountered this exact issue at Buc-ee's in FL, the Tesla chargers do NOT work with my Lightning or Chevy Bolt BUT the Mercedes Benz chargers at the other end of the parking lot work just fine. When I look closely in the Tesla App, it does NOT say they are available to OTHER EV's. It...

There is just such a calibration procedure inherent in using LFP battery technologies. This occurs monthly or so with my Tesla Powerwall 3’s which are LFP. The Lightning is a NMC chemistry and a deep discharge is generally not recommended. So that’s my take on where that Rule of Thumb might...

I have a Juicebox v2 with the OpenEVSE upgrade kit and it allows for this being set. It also has a charge on solar capability which does not play nice with my other EV, a 2019 Chevy Bolt. So I have it just set to a static fixed lower rate so it doesn't drain my Powerwalls when charging the...
