Is it worth the trouble? Level 1 charging, depending on the temp, you can watch glaciers move faster. I'm assuming you're staying at the same hotel multiple days?

Sort of yes. Sort of no. You get a single 7.2KW 240 output (NEMA 30) You also get several 120v 20Amp outlets for a grand total of 9.6KW that can run simultaneously.

I certainly hope so, but I'm not sure anyone can give a definitive answer to a new vehicle with a new battery, and new electric motors that we only have 4-5 years of limited data. Frankly, I don't think the battery is going to be the issue that most people think. There will be failures, and...

Extrapolate your battery percentage, to kilowatt hours on the battery, from there you can math out your actual kilowatt hours per mile. EDIT: Wanted to add, on my real world experience. Just like fuel gauges are not accurate, I'm not entirely sure the battery percentage indicator is either...

I don't believe any suspension is touched while removing the battery. That being said, I've never personally done it or witnessed it.

Terrific write up. I live is S Florida, where snow is seen as often as Bigfoot, yet still found your review interesting, thorough, and informative

I would avoid. Too many unknowns. Better options out there

Mine started doing that. 12 V battery tested fine. I asked ford to replace the 12 V battery anyway, they did, and it went away.

Ford told me the same thing. Then they replaced the 12v battery after nothing else worked, and the problems vanished. Beeps back through Audi system....

Are you certain of this? Mine dos not. I had the same issue as you until it dawned on me that it only happened when I walked away and came back with the truck still on. Simply hitting a couple buttons on the infotainment has saved me much frustration. I have the smaller screen, maybe they're...

If you have walked away from the truck, and it has disconnected, when you walk back to the truck, it will not reconnect on its own. The remedy, after you have walked back to the truck and are disconnected, before you put it in park and go, hit apps, Apple CarPlay, then hit the little button to...

Do you ever walk out of the truck with your phone in pocket with the truck still on? It will have trouble re- establishing CarPlay if you walk far enough away to disconnect, then walk back into range.

I just installed a double throw transfer switch to the main panel, and flip the individual circuits I want energized manually. Much simpler.

This doesn't sound likely... I'd take it with a grain of salt until proven otherwise
