  1. EV Charger Tax Credit/Rebate Woes ..... This Has GOT to be a joke!

    Well, I was always told by my mother that I was special, so there's that.
  2. EV Charger Tax Credit/Rebate Woes ..... This Has GOT to be a joke!

    Just to be clear, this qualification is not for "depressed housing areas". I live on the edge of a major college town, in neighborhood of over 100 homes, none of which are small or inexpensive, and we qualify.
  3. Betrayed

    There was no mandate... No, don't feel betrayed. Fully expected Clownshow 47 to be more action packed than clownshow 45, mostly because they realize how the establishment didn't react appropriately during clownshow 45, and they know what they can get away with. This will culminate in Supreme...
  4. Printed end caps for NACS charging adapter

    I don't know why these would be needed unless you're storing the adapter in the bed of the truck full of dirt.
  5. FordPass new terms

    You are so wrong. First Borne is a heavy metal rock group, and you'd have to give it up. Sheesh.
  6. FordPass new terms

    No big deal. You give up your first borne, they get full rights with your wife (ala Braveheart), and can take back the truck at any time. Just click Accept and move on.
  7. 3,800 mile winter trip, new learnings

    No. I used Car scanner with OBD and free ABRP.
  8. 3,800 mile winter trip, new learnings

    They were so far off that I sent feedback at least twice.
  9. DCFC precondition temp

    Yes, but no. 40 isn't enough, it heats more. When we left home, the battery was preconditioned. It was 60.8 degrees. 1:45 later, it was 48 degrees. It had to heat up to fast charge.
  10. 3,800 mile winter trip, new learnings

    1) By charging at night, the battery is already warm from driving, so the charging session is faster. 2) When on a trip, I'd rather check in the hotel, eat dinner, and then go charge and go to bed versus spending 45 minutes tomorrow morning charging when I want to be on the road. 3) Similarly...
  11. DCFC precondition temp

    Correct. It heats when charging. 10.0.1 will fix this.
  12. DCFC precondition temp

    If you open up Car Scanner, you can see the battery temp, the amperage requested, and the amperage delivered, as well as the energy going to the heater. If you turn off the heater, any energy it shows it going to the battery. I kept losing connections as my phone battled with Android Auto...
  13. DCFC precondition temp

    Here's a screen from CarScanner. It shows that the HVB was just below 40 degrees at the start of the session. As the battery warms, you can see the charger power increases. Green line is battery temp. Blue line is charger kW. Red line is charger amperage requested.
  14. 3,800 mile winter trip, new learnings

    I should add that I experienced some other new things on this trip. Limited power availability due to cold battery - as low as 78% power, very often 91% power. That was a new one for me.
  15. DCFC precondition temp

    No, it's not. I just did it, and monitored it. One morning the battery was 21 degrees. After driving for 1.5 hours, it was 39.5 degrees. It increases it, but no where near what DCFC wants. If you have never experienced throttled DCFC, then you haven't been monitoring with Car Scanner. I...
  16. Farley says Hybrid and Range-extenders are the answer for trucks (except fleets)

    We owned a Fusion Hybrid for 7 years, then a Fusion PHEV for 3 years. Both screamed when you were on the highway ramp coming up to speed. Both hesitated when you punched it, and had slow acceleration. When we test drove the Mach-E in 2021, I loved it. When I drove the Lightning, and...
  17. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    brakes... I use Sport mode. Don't like 1 pedal. Didn't buy a golf cart.
  18. Farley says Hybrid and Range-extenders are the answer for trucks (except fleets)

    Farley won't be selling us our next vehicle as a result of this change in strategy. Never going back to a gas powered vehicle of any type. At this rate, our next vehicle will not be a Ford.
  19. DCFC precondition temp

    My 2022 does not precondition the. 10.0.1 enables it. Mach-E received this update, Lightning did not. The first 10 minutes of a DC fast charger devote 8 to 10kW to heating the battery, and speed clicks up as you watch.
  20. 3,800 mile winter trip, new learnings

    Nah. Some people drive on flat roads in warm weather. When we drive to/from Florida, the efficiency we get in Florida is significantly better than where we live.
