  1. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    Well it seem the truck finaly abid to its specification. Knowing lithium chemistry it means the battery pack was in a "balancing mode" between the different cells which means maybe the vehicle needed to reequilibratre the voltage of some of its internal components. Now it charge regularly at...

    No we don't have that :(

    Canadian 240 are two L1 and L2 out of phase from a 3 phased wire up there. So L1-Neutral is about 117 Volts and L2-Neutral is another 117 volt not on the same phase. L1-L2 is about 240 relative to each other.

    i sincerely hope they can find the issue because i love the truck

  5. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    I alternatively charge the F-150 and the I4 on the same charging station... located outside so heat no issue. I spoke with Autel and if such event would produce i would have a log in the application. As of this moment i have 100% confidence the F-150 is not accepting full capacity of the...

    Yes electricity is cheap in Quebec but you have to endure -20F for 4 months LOL

  7. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    i just found the 2025 specifications and its clearly stated that the vehicle is capable of 48A and its not stated anywhere that you absolutely need a Ford Connected Charge station to attain it. Which give me legal rights to either return the vehicle because of non conformity or ask for a free...

  8. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    I have a BMW I4 that happily charge at 48A on the same charging station and has been doing so for the last 2 years. I never saw anything under 48A with that car. Clearly the Ford is restraining the current. I have an appointment with the dealer i can't wait to see what they will find or...

    Interface is in French but you will recognize.

  10. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    Not at all and thats the funny part of it. It behave like it has a 8 kw charger and with some occasional spike to 11kw.

  11. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    The switch you refer to is only used by the protocol communication of the charging station to tell the truck "hey i'm 48 A capable". The switch is not linked to any current limiting capacity in the charging station itself.

  12. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    This is my charge yesterday. 8 kw for some time, a quick happiness at 11kw but for the remaining of the night its 8 kw. This puzzle me a battery so huge why does it takes it time to charge when there is more available.

  13. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    When you tell the truck to limit itself to any value, it only tell the BMS and the onboard charger not to go over that limit. Thats it. The 80 % or 100% of charge value is another thing. Unless i didn't understand your question ?

  14. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    Indeed on huge DC charging 150Kw and more but not on AC charging station.

  15. New Lightning owner puzzled at the slow AC charge

    The charge rate is never managed by the charging station, always by the inboard charger. The charging station is merely just a cable connected to your home electric box with some circuit for protection. It would be double or triple the size if it has to throttle the current. No the load is...
