I agree with that sentiment. However, I’d argue that trying to run V2H without any home battery backup isn't a great idea either, for a few obvious reasons.
At the end of the day, solar and batteries—or even V2H—aren’t one-size-fits-all solutions. There are so many variables involved that every...
I’ve had this system installed for just under a month now. For the most part, it’s been seamless, but there are a few little "nuances" that keep it from being a truly exceptional experience.
The main one is a bit of a manual hassle with the DC charging. Since my setup is configured to charge at...
Honestly, the way it works really comes down to how you configure it. I’ve set mine up to take advantage of my "nights free" plan. Basically, the system is smart enough to charge the home batteries at night and then flip to discharging them in the morning.
When my vehicle is plugged in and V2H...
I’ve been running the Sigenergy ecosystem—a 27kWh battery stack with the integrated EVDC charger—for just under a month now. For anyone balancing home energy management in Texas, here is my honest take on the hardware, the complex install, and the software ecosystem.
Value, Pricing, and the...
Hello,
I have 2024 F150 Lightning
Use it for work and as a daily driver, have kids. I use lasfit mats right now.
Looking for an upgrade for a better passenger mat.
It was NEVER an advantage, it is an outdated concept designed originally to shift the liability from the automakers but the dealers association became so strong and are in the business of looting as much as they can from the customers. They have no skin in the game, they solely exist to make...

I really like these covers and these improve the range too but unfortunately they only make them for Tesla.
If enough of us put in a request, they might make them.

I also believe that Lightning will make a comeback. I also believe that cancelling of the lightning is because of the current political environment. Scout Motors also want to release their EV truck in 2028. These are all not random decisions regardless of what they all say out in the public...
I am trying to get this CSP done, I called couple of dealers near me and they say that for CSP's, they have to take pictures and send it to ford for their approval and wait for the part arrival and then schedule for the repair.
They say ford send's the parts unique to the VIN. Sounded little...
Again, "Universal EV Platform" should be able to accommodate the full size lightning truck, EREV should be part of that equation as well, just like scout is doing.
Like I said, what they are doing and what they are saying just does not make any sense at all.
I like what they are talking about here but have to see the implementation and the product release to realize how many of these changes are actually implemented.
Also, if they are making universal EV platform, why not redesign the F150 Lightning as well on the new platform instead of cancelling...
