Because the GenerLink + Ford product is in soft launch... not every state is listed yet, but they eventually will. $1,099 for the GenerLink, 20' GenerLok Cable, Ford Vehicle Connector. Longer GenerLok cables add cost. Meter-Mounted...

Preferred Charge Times are just that - preferred. Check out the examples here: go.ford/chargetimes Departure Times, your arrival SoC, your charge rate, your target SoC, and the size of the preferred charging windows within the current and following day all matter to whether the charge takes...

This is exactly what an electrician would do to install the meter-adjacent GenerLink solution. As you said, it's work any licensed electrician should be able to do. The reason the utility needs to approve the meter-mounted GenerLink solution is because it touches their property - their meter.

The reason there are two different mounting solutions for the GenerLink is because of the different level of utility approval. You absolutely need utility approval to do the meter-mounted solution. The meter-adjacent solution may or may not need utility approval depending on your jurisdiction as...

That's very possible. I'll talk to them too... I await a DM so we can diagnose your truck.

The software was deployed, Brian may have been confused about if it had happened - I'll talk to Brian today about it. Your vehicle would then have the software that enables it - it was delivered in 2023 - so if you do not believe it's working I would love to dive deeper via DM to see what is...

The requirements are different by battery and by which charger power the vehicle receives from the navigation source. A slower DCFC may not result in any heating at all. The battery does not heat simply because a charger is selected - the battery heats when heating is needed for charging...

Is it possible to park the truck closer in an emergency? I would always advise against extension cords for anything charging. Extra connections are extra points of failure.

Every F-150 Lightning was built with the software to pre-cool the battery before fast charging - and at that time the only way to do that was using Connected Navigation because Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto didn't exist. The software to add pre-heating before fast charging was...

This is addressed and handled by the Ford + GenerLink transfer switch and vehicle connector bundle. It's designed for compatibility with Pro Power Onboard in the F-150 Lightning and F-150 PowerBoost, no fuss with the neutrals, just plug in to the GenerLink and turn on PPO.

En-Route Preconditioning absolutely warms and cools the battery, whichever is needed. The primary benefit is warming the pack in cold weather. Currently, Connected Navigation and Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto can do this for 2021-2025MY EVs.

GenerLink and Ford have teamed up for this bundle for backing up the F-150 Lightning and F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid. The bundle is purchased from the Ford site (and it's not the same GenerLink as they sell independently) not the general GenerLink site: https://shopgenerlink.com/pages/ford-owners...

I use Connected Nav all the time - my routing tool of choice - and have never had the issue where the locations aren't in recents, but if the truck goes all the way to sleep I have had the route not automatically resume. Are all the saved POIs gone? Even after restarting the infotainment (Vol...

The receipt from Ford shows the price and kWh provided by the CPO. The Ford app shows the kWh that was calculated by the truck. For my recent IONNA Janesville charge, the Ford receipt shows 90.259 kWh for $21.75, and the Ford app shows 89.2 kWh added as calculated by the truck. 90.259 * $0.20...

DC charging absolutely has losses - the AC to DC conversion has losses (why the charger has fans running), the cable has losses, the truck has losses due to charging overhead and heat generation in the battery. There's no energy transfer that is completely lossless.
