Getting a new panel installed, along with a generator outlet on the side of the house, and Level 2 charger. So today I'll be without power most of the day. Ran some extension cords for more than I need and it is kind of impressive how little power things need. I ended connecting more...just because.
Chest freezer, fridge in the garage, keezer (chest freezer for beer), internet and server equipment, office computer with multiple monitors, along with some security cameras. Also, it's very nice having wifi AP's that are PoE (power over ethernet) so wifi coverage is still awesome. Anyways, as you can see, barely using any power.

I might connect my well pump just because haha.


It's going to be very nice finally getting L2 charger installed and have an easy way to connect the truck to power on certain parts of the house. I'm thinking I can run my hot water heat and well pump at different times and still be able to run the rest of my house (without AC or oven or washer/dryer of course). Kind of exciting to have this setup.

Ummm, what is that toggle at the bottom? Keep outlets on when vehicle is off?? I thought this wasn't possible. Is that a recent update?

Believe "Keep On" toggle is a 2024 option.

Wonder if @bmwhitetx has found a FORSCAN change that could add that to 2022/2023 models ?

Hmm….. I need to test this. I just kept turning the truck on and enabling the rear and disabled the auto shutdown. I didn’t even notice this option (or if it’s new from an update)

@FloridaMan655321, if you get a chance push the little _i_ button next to the Keep On toggle and let us know what it says.
