For that use case it certainly makes a difference. For a tradesman powering tools during the workday, it‘s not a factor.

If your truck is going to sit in Detroit winter temps while you charge, you may not even gain any charge overnight on level 1. Also, L2 at 40A or more will be 15-20% more efficient than L1.

Between 300 and 400 watts. If you have an ER, that’s about 1% or so every 4 hours. I got the update and I still just leave the truck on. I’m not jacking around with a Rube Goldberg timer and heater.

Have you checked for diagnostic trouble codes(DTCs)?

The app has nothing to do with whether or not it will charge. It will start on the time schedule stored in the truck. They disconnecting the 12V battery for 10 minutes to reset the modem. Also check the connectivity settings in the truck. If data sharing is turned off, it won’t communicate.

Truck isn’t communicating with Ford servers. But if you plug it in, it will charge as long as the SoC is less than the location‘s setting. The truck is fully functional without the App.

AI slop. 1. 300 watts is 1% battery every 4 hours. 2. This can’t happen unless you leave the fob in the truck. 3. Set screen to quiet mode. 4. No it doesn’t.

What shows in the app is simply what the dealer inputs. I have a fantastic dealer service department as far as service goes, but what they enter into what shows in the app is meaningless.

It stays on if you leave the truck on.

A company called Bollare tried this in Paris. It failed miserably. Cars were left littered and defecated in. When the service was terminated, a company bought the cars -about 125 of them - for salvage. As an aside, the cars were parked in a field about 100 miles outside of Paris. A picture of...

That’s from a sample size of 1 short journey. I‘d continue watching it to get a more complete picture.

35 per hundred corresponds to a range of about 375 km.

Has the efficiency changed as shown on “This trip”?

The problem is the onboard charger which is an AC to DC converter. They probably just used incorrect terminology.

Wasn’t there a recall (edit - SSM, not a recall) for this very issue for some early models? Fix is to replace the switch. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/truck-chiming-upon-opening-of-driver-door-headlight-switch.30871/
