#6 THHN in conduit is fine on a 60A breaker. #6 NM-B (Romex) is not.

I saw something interesting….an electrician installed a second meter can on the premises side of the utility meter and mounted the Generlink on it. The utility has no say in what you can do on your side of the demarcation point. He cleared it with his local inspector first.

I tried onX Hunt a few years ago, but phone service was poor on our farm so it wasn’t useful.

I generally don’t believe in coincidences, but the chances that your truck damaged the EVSE are slim to none.

There’s no downside to disconnecting the 12V battery.

The 2.4 kw inverter serves outlets in the cab and frunk. 20A total from any combination of plugs. There is no 10A per plug limit.

Right - I was thinking about hands-free approach.

The doors don’t unlock until you pull the handle (or push the button, in the Mach-E’s case).

You can setup PAAK for both vehicles on one phone, though.

What happened is when you plugged in, the truck didn’t think it could reach the target in the charge window, so it started immediately. Then at some point, it realized it could do the remaining charge within the window, so it stopped and waited for the start time. It does not throttle charging...

For sure. I just wanted to mention it because not everyone is aware of it.

One thing to keep in mind is that the 2.4 inverter is 120V only. No possibility to power 240V loads directly.

I use PAAK for my Mach-E and hide a fob in a Faraday bag inside the car just in case. I’ve never had to dig the fob out. I don’t think it’s possible to do what you are asking.

That’s fine for a 24A EVSE. Higher power ones have thermal monitoring in the plugs and there is no standard protocol for such monitoring. If only it were that simple.

Updates that do not immobilize the truck (during installation) can come at anytime.
