I read this article about being stuck at a DCFC that wouldn't charge and requiring a second tow. Recently, I was DCFC'ing at a Tesla supercharger, when during the charging session, a Tesla was towed to the chargers. The flat bed lifted his ramp and let the Tesla driver reverse off of the...

I also had a good experience with this recall software update via Ford Mobile tech. I always confirm my address the day before and when they call to say they’re on the way. They often have my house address, when I want them to come to my office. I remove the 12v battery panel for them before...

Thanks for posting that red flag. I didn’t know that. And, I read the post below about load testing the battery. Here is a screenshot of my 12V battery stats as a reference point. It’s been three years in FL heat and seems ok based on these stats.

I’m curious about this too. I’ll start monitoring my 12V battery, but not really sure what I’m looking for to know of its going bad.

Does anyone have a theory on why the manual recommends disconnecting the low voltage connector before pulling the DCFC manual release tab? I had to use the DCFC manual release tab yesterday for the first time when charging at a Tesla supercharger with my Ford adapter. I haven’t tested DCFC...

Not blaming the EVSE…Just thankful that I bought an EVSE that handles scheduling better than the Ford truck scheduling. Now I can easily start, stop, control, adjust, and handle exceptions (like Good Friday recently, which needed to follow the weekend schedule) through the EVSE app.

I don't know if this is helpful or off topic, but I changed (upgraded) my Ford Connected Charge Station to an EMPORIA Level 2 EV Charger a few months ago and wish I did it earlier because I now I'm done fumbling with charge times. I prefer to charge off peak for a minimal Duke energy charge...

I agree. It’s also a way to protect a mobile charger from theft. Would be great to have a toggle button for locking/unlocking charge port if the owner prefers.

Is it safe to assume that it's much harder to move CCS to that driver-side bed location instead of only adding J1772? I'd love to have a CCS port in that location for Tesla Superchargers.

The target charge adjustment did not work for me. The truck would not start the charge off schedule even after adjusting the target charge. But, I did find a workaround that is better than setting an alarm clock or reprogramming the schedule. 1. I plug in my truck off schedule. 2. In the...

Thanks Taxman. I’m going to try the target charge adjustment and report back. Deleting and re-entering the schedule is the least ideal work around. Adjusting Target Charge will be easier, if I can get it to work.

is there a different way within the app or the truck to start a charge to my default target charge of 85%?

I'm having a problem with target charge limits outside my charging schedule. v5.28.0. I currently have a charging schedule programmed into the truck to charge during certain times to 85%. When I want to charge outside the schedule, I click the charge button in the app. The app then charges...

I finally installed Defenders on my truck after wearing my Primacy tires as far as I could.

Nevermind. I was able to get it out with a hook I made out of an irrigation flag wire. Now I will duct tape the hose to the lid going forward.
