I think 80 amps sustained needs a 3 AWG line. That is likely over $1 / foot cost for THHN copper installation. 6 AWG might be sufficient for the Ground.
Two weeks ago driving through central Ohio I stopped in Newark at Wyeth-Scott and bought one of their 3 ton More Power Pullers, the one with the AmSteel blue synthetic rope. It comes with a snatch block so you can pull up to 12,000 pounds.
This More Power Puler is one impressive little...
New vs original Tesla NACS adapter - side by side comparison pics. Yes, my replacement Tesla adapter arrived today.
Background: I kept my original Tesla NACS adapter, received in I think early June, when I traded in my worn-out Mustang Mach E in July for the Lightning... hence my Mach E...
These Ford EVSE power connectors are known to be crappy, in the Mach E world just like in the Lightning world. Many threads on this in both blogs... I'll use mine on trips until it dies.
There are much better EVSE versions in the aftermarket.
I just received an email notice from Ford that my replacement Tesla adapter, for the one I had ordered last January or February when I had the Mach E, had just shipped.
My original Mach E adapter which I've kept after I traded up to the Lightning, was order #1751, and the Ford email about the...
I do think such a list would be helpful.
Considering the literally several million of new and recent F150 trucks running around out there (per annual Ford production of about 700,000 or so), who is the kind soul who would begin and then manage such a list?
...and state-set utility-regulated electricity prices vary greatly as well, far more than I had expected earlier in my EV experience. In our travels (Mach E and Lightning) in the past 30 months, we've seen major traction battery fill-up prices as high as $42+ for New York State and as low as...
This Ford dealership, newly authorized to sell the F150, is in southwestern Poland pretty close to Czechia (Czech Republic):
PGD MULTIEXIM Katowice
Aleja Rozdienskiego 190

Think of the Ford Pro as a spigot... same for the Ford mobile charging cord (the mobile EVSE). They and all other EVSEs are just electricity spigots... some have a bigger "throat" (more amps) and some, a smaller throat (fewer amps).
Nice story on teardrop towing. Thanks! Teardrops are awesome!
I've towed my TimberLeaf Pika teardrop from Grand Junction Colorado through the Rockies and Minnesota to Virginia, then to Maine and Vermont, and Atlanta and Kentucky. That was with the Mach E equipped with the Ford European tow...
Agreed from personal experience on several sedans, in the US and in Europe.
I think the common "snow tires" name for these Winter tires is an unfortunate misnomer. Although there is some benefit in snow, their true benefit is in their much softer cold weather rubber compounds, which in turn...
