On the highway, if you put a destination in the nav with the battery set to “auto”, it will sip the battery ending at zero when you arrive at your destination. In town, we use “Pure” mode and the engine never starts unless you try to accelerate faster than it can on battery or you deplete the...

I didn’t realize it would do 20….I kind of wondered why it seemed to charge a little quicker on on our Ford Connected Station than the OEM. 😀

The easiest thing is probably to have an electrician install a 6-20 receptacle in your garage to power the EVSE that came with the Volvo. If you drain the Volvo battery completely, it will take 15 - 16 hours to charge on 120V.

Battery degradation over the number of charge cycles. There have been a number of studies looking at battery life with various charging habits. The almost all arrive at this conclusion.

As long as something catastrophic doesn’t happen, the battery will outlast the truck.

Just for the record, the “Auto hold” setting doesn’t do anything when 1PD is active. 1PD uses auto hold regardless of the setting.

As far as I know, there is no UL standard for these adapters.

The OP had his truck in accessory mode. That uses the 12V battery and won’t charge it. Just don’t use accessory mode - turn the truck on if you need to do anything with it.

Yes, I’m sure. As detailed in post 33.

Current EV system designs cannot support exporting via the AC charge port connection. The Lightning HIS uses DC via the CCS1 connection.

A mannequin is a vehicle that the dealer is allowed to use as a demo or loaner, but cannot be sold for a given number of days or miles.

Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve created a reservation for mine. It’s interesting….the IP scanner I use tries to name the entries it finds. The address my FCSP is using had the name that corresponds to an old Dell laptop we had and a blank in the MAC address field….its likely they shared that...

The motors aren’t powered until you put it in gear. The only thing accomplished by accessory mode is that it allows you use the 12V battery without the normal capability to charge it. EVs made by non-legacy auto manufacturers don’t do this.

There shouldn’t even be an “Accessory” mode. On or off…end of story. Then all this goes away.

I got the updates, but I’m not messing with the charge rate setting.

I hit 183 KW in May of 2023.

I’ve been telling my wife this for 40 years. 😆 She‘s still not convinced.
