Until the 2023 NEC, each EVSE was required to be on its own branch circuit. If one lives in a jurisdiction that has not yet adopted NEC 2023, this is technically a violation. That said, I’d do it anyway! 😜

The yellow band dongle drops it from 32 to 30. Not 24.

TSBs are dealer service info. They do not get assigned to a VIN like CSPs and safety recalls, AFAIK.

From the manual (under hood fuse box):

This is not a recommendation. If you smoke it, you own it!! If you run a 20A, 240V circuit to a regular NEMA 5-20R receptacle outlet, you can plug the Ford EVSE into it using its 120V dongle and charge at approximately 2.8 KW which is double the L1 rate. Just don’t EVER plug anything else into...

Triggering the welcome lighting is expected. Mine doesn’t unfold the mirrors until I grab the handle.

The truck cannot be driven unless you leave the fob (phone if using PAAK) in the truck.

It doesn’t actually unlock unless you open a door.

Good call. Nice feature for the 25 model year (only). You can go up to 24A on a 30A circuit.

You have to remove the Boxlink system and replace it with these.

I’m fine, thanks. A branch circuit for powering an EVSE is to be sized at 125% of the EVSE max current. It can be used on a 40 or 50A circuit. See NEC article 625.

OK. To select the travel direction on an EV requires only a simple electrical signal. The bulky mechanical contraption on our trucks is overly complex and is prone to failure. That’s why it sucks and some are replacing it with something much more simple.

No. A 30A EVSE cannot be safely used continuously on a 30A circuit.

If you have the same dryer circuit as 95% of the rest of us do (14-30R or 10-30R on a 30 amp circuit), the Ford Mobile Charger will overload it.

They suck!

Pull fuse 32 to reset the modem.

What your neighbor is doing is potentially dangerous. He’s setting himself up for a Darwin Award. Use a breaker interlock or transfer switch, and use an inlet, not an outlet for connection.

There’s a thread on here where this was tested. Best efficiency was at 40-48A. It only dropped very slightly above that. At lower rates, vehicle systems overhead decreased efficiency. It will vary depending on the vehicle, of course, depending on the systems running during charging.

Make an adapter to power the Ford Mobile Charger’s 120V dongle with 240V. That will charge at 12A, 240V, or about 2.8 KW. Disclaimer: don’t attempt unless you know what you’re doing. If anything goes south, it’s your responsibility.
