I would be very happy if I could get 40K out of it. I am not sure when mine started overheating. I noticed it was charging slower around 7K and checked out the output at 8K. If it gave me the option to charge at 24 Amps, it would probably last a little longer.
I meant to say the replacement is a backup/120V charger. My read is could not handle the 240V use at ~30 amps. I agree a lower rate might’ve allowed longer life.
If your truck is older than 23, I think it was included, if a 2023, Check your window sticker, you probably paid $500 for it, and either way I think it is covered 3yr/36k milesThanks. It seems like it is this case:
However it is 42F outside so I am guessing a component is going bad inside the charger that is causing overheating (not noticeable by touching the charger).
If the warranty is a year, I am out of luck. Besides, I think I was not suppose to get the charger with my 23 to begin with.
Ford did replace it. But I still bought the Charge Point Home Flex. It’s positioned such that it can charge either vehicle though it’s mostly on the LT.
Mine is 23 and it was not included but the dealer was nice enough to give me one. So I am not going to push my luck for something I know is not going to last for daily use. I have a really good portable unit for now but will have to do some research to see what is the most reliable charger under 40/48 Amp.. I probably will never charge over 32.
Looks like I’ll have to prepare myself for possible replacement sooner than I hoped. Fortunately there are more than a few alternatives.
Not everyone has a failure. People with failures are most likely to relate their experience. I got my FMC when I bought my Mach-E in 2021. I only use it when I travel and it’s been fine. I’ll continue to use it as my only EVSE when traveling, but I wouldn’t rely on it for everyday charging.
Agree with that 100%.
