2023 Ford F150 Lightning Lariat
Hey guys, new owner of a used 2023 Lightning Lariat SR here. It’s been a busy few weeks diving into this deep end but after seven days with the new truck (traded in a 2022 Ford Ranger Lariat), I’m really loving it.

I was able to get my electrician to install a Lectron V-Box Pro yesterday, so I finally have my Level 2 charging situation sorted at home. I was curious if other folks with Lightnings have had much/any experience with this specific EVSE. The app seems to make it pretty easy to handle/schedule charging sessions but I’d love some feedback on the unit if others have it. My electrician mentioned that I might want to power the unit off when not in use so I was wondering too if anyone here did that with either the V-Box Pro or with their EVSE.

Thanks!

Congratulations on your Lightning Lariat!
We have an Emporia that stays on continuously, but when the truck is home it is plugged into it. :ROFLMAO:

I use the Ford Charge Station Pro, always on, except a quarterly reboot.

Leave it on. Quiescent power draw is minimal.
