Greetings from sunny Savannah Georgia. Charging the beast for tomorrow’s tow to Charleston South Carolina. Last leg of a camping vacation. 1400 miles and counting. By the time we get home, we will log in almost 1700 miles. Started at 40deg weather, drove to Louisiana with 70deg temperatures...

Phone As A Key, PAAK, that is what it stands for. Set it up thru your FordPass or your truck and at the same time set up your back up code. If you loose your phone or your key fob the truck will ask for your back code in order you get home.

Norway is a country I will visit with my wife in the near future. In the bucket list but in the summer time. Your cold temps you describe are the usual for the folks in Minnesota, Nothern Wisconsin and Nothern Michigan. Ford has a winter testing facility in Northern Michigan but we still see...

I have been reading everyone’s opinions and assumptions of what this EREV Lightning will be. None of us know what this truck will look like externally or internally. On your post though the intent is to never deplete the battery to below 25%, I assume. The generator will engage to provide power...

Welcome.!!! I am surprised the Lightning made it that far in Europe. Not long ago we were talking to a lad from Queensland Australia who had the chance to get his hands on a Lightning. Put that beast to work. Won’t mind it at all. I see that you caravaning also. Enjoy the camper trips, but...

My guess and your guess could be correct. This started from the factory and it continues to present. I believe engineering is looking into this because it is a high rate replacement part. These light bars are expensive.

I am on my third replacement light bar. Since the factory installed light bar failed after a prolonged raining event, I scheduled an appointment with the dealer to replace it. Had to wait 3 days for the part to come in. Those were the days when all parts were dedicated to production. The second...

I know it may sound like a broken record but the fully charged number for my 3+ Lightning is getting higher and the number haven’t changed even under load, pulling a 5000lbs travel trailer.

This truck’s Power on Board saved our butts and everything perishable in our fridges and freezers during hurricane Helene, a year ago. My storage batteries run low because the getaway module malfunctioned. The truck picked up the mess and saved us from total darkness. This is the best money I...

Is that in NC????

You are correct on that. Building a power plant has to meet a constant power output. That is how it can run more efficiently. When all generators are running at peak efficiency. If the data center doesn’t draw the power then someone else has to take the excess. Running power plants at 50%...

No, it will not be harmful to your battery. Yes, plug your truck every night and set a schedule for departure even though you going nowhere. You do this thru the FordPass app. You can control the preconditioning thru your app anytime of the day to keep your battery warm on cold nights or...

I have done the same. In anticipation of my Mach E and then my Lightning I have solar to contribute a lot. My bill in the summer time is around $150. Given the amount of kilowatts I consume to charge two EVs, I am doing very well. For instance, every month I consume on the average about 1 MW...

Submitted also.

Enjoy your new sleigh. It can haul all the toys you can imagine.
