  1. What do you pay per kWh at home?

    I drive my Lightning and Optique at almost no cost. I charge my electric vehicles from the excess power my four year old solar 7kw system produces. My wife and I drive around during the day (both retired) while the other car is charging. We might have to charge off the grid a few days a...
  2. New GenerLink option (TN, and Utah)

    GenerLink version just for the 7.2 kw PPOB Lightning. $1,099.00 Since your utility has approved the GenerLink for installation directly behind the meter, the process is straightforward and typically costs between $250 and $450. Depending on your utility, installation may need to be performed...
  3. It Fits!

    When I test drove mine, I drove it to my home and pulled it into the garage to make sure it would fit before I purchased it. The salesman was checking to make sure the roof and garage door did not scrape.
  4. Anyone use the Sol-Ark 15K with bed 30-amp outlet?

    Your 15k Solark should have a Smartload connection which can be configured to be an output or input. I had my solar co. attach a 50 amp plug to the Smartload and configure it to supply power when my home batteries are 65% charged and cutoff when my home batteries drop down to 25% charged, I use...
  5. Vehicle not obeying charge times!!!

    I have a solar system also and recently went on a trip in my Optiq and left my Lightning plugged in to charge during the day (10-4). The Lightning started charging during the late afternoon (5ish) so I stopped charging from the app and after that it would not resume charging while I was gone...
  6. Real-World Home Power Backup Options Using F-150 Lightning

    That adapter type came with my 23 XLT Lightning (bought new) as part of the PPOB, so it works fine with PPOB. I powered a 220v pool pump using the adapter and a NEMA 14-50 extension cord.
  7. Home Vehicle Charging with lots of solar panels and net metering question.

    I have a 7kw (19 panels) solar system, 10 kw battery backup, and a SolArk 12kw inverter. I had my solar installer connect a 50 amp plug to the SolArk inverter via Smartload (input or output configurable). I have that set up to become active/hot when my home battery becomes 45% charged and will...
  8. Using 2024 Lightning Flash During Power Outage

    Usually there is a ground fault detected by the truck and it then cuts power to the PPOB 240v outlet. There are ways around this, research the forums, some are questionable but work for emergency situations.
  9. Dealerships that didn't provide paperwork for EV Tax Credit {Solution post #119}

    I think you are referring to me? The below is from a discussion/forum on here a month ago when the letters first went out. https://www.irs.gov/your-account This is what is on my IRS account, no transfer
  10. Dealerships that didn't provide paperwork for EV Tax Credit {Solution post #119}

    This is what I posted in May last year. "I purchased my new 2023 Lightning XLT on Jan. 4, 2024. I talked to several dealers in the Nashville area about the new tax rebate rules but none of them knew anything about it. Finally one dealer said they could give me the $7,500 rebate credit so I...
  11. Dealerships that didn't provide paperwork for EV Tax Credit {Solution post #119}

    If you did not transfer your federal rebate to the dealer, no IRS letter was sent. In that case the rebate is available to you if the dealer reported the sale correctly to the IRS. I did not receive a letter and IRS shows I am eligible for the $7500 rebate on my 2024 taxes (hope to file in...
  12. Increased Range at 100%

    I had the ablation done about 30 years ago, at the time only one doctor in middle TN performed the surgery, pretty much experimental (I was actually awake (sedated) during the procedure). Now I am in my mid 60's and very glad I had it done then. My son had it done about 15 years ago in his...
  13. Ford ended retail cash rebates?

    Dealership Claimed EV Tax Credit without Permission was a big discussion last week.
  14. IRS Notice CP99D Transferred Tax Credit letter 2025

    CHI, my experience was almost exactly the same as yours but on 1/5/24. Follow TaxmanHog advice here. When I checked mine yesterday I was very surprised my dealer entered the sale, my wife and I did not sign any IRS paperwork on 1/5/24. I am guessing that they digitally signed my name later to...
