I have read everything I can find on the subject without resolution (including Reddit).
I have a 14-50 outlet that I use with the Ford mobile charger, and it works fine, no issues at all.
I traded my Tesla for the Lightning and already had a Gen 3 Wall charger for the Tesla. I never had an issue charging the Tesla (or other electric cars) but as soon as I hooked up my Lightning I got a charge fault. (Red ring only one time). I read that Ford can be a little fussier. I checked all wiring gauges, breakers, etc. and everything seems fine.
I sold my Tesla charger and got a Charge Point hardwired and hooked it up with 6-3 and a 60amp breaker (non GFCI). No issues with anything on the charger but still getting Charge Fault with Lightning. I have noticed one thing, when I first plug in and then go to the Ford Pass App and look at energy, it starts off with 1 kwh and goes up to 8kwh and then back down to 1kwh and then back up several times until it does the charge fault.
I have never had any issues charging anywhere (DC fast charging, etc.) but at my house. I am starting to suspect something is awry with my electrical panel but wanted to check here first. I have deleted my preferred charge times just in case.
I am not electrician, but I know enough to do simple installs.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
