So the ford pass app, is so buggy, 2 days ago I charged @ Home. It said I charged 19 kWh and had traveled 53 Miles, that is 2.79 M/kWh, yesterday it said I charged 64.7 kWh and went 59 Miles . . which is 0.91M/kWh . . .not the first time this has happened...(and YES, all the travels were...
Yes, our problem is the state's CPUC which uses a revolving door for retired PG&E, LADWP, and San Diego Edison. CPUC is supposed to look out for consumers, but gives freebies to the power companies. Thank god for ex commissioner Loretta Lynch, a beacon of truth
Well there is some thinking that the louvers are not open when driving, while I'm not sure of that, I would be apprehensive about using a blow gun to get them out. I would probably just use a crevice tool on my Shop Vac to remove. I also DID install a mesh grill over the opening . . if only for...
While this may be all true and correct . . Please correct me if I'm wrong, aren't the Chinese EV's heavily subsidized in china, and I don't believe the workers are treated very well either.
Gen 2 Lightnings may have it, but I'll be stuck with what I got . . I'm not willing to lose a boatload of $$$ to get the new and improved . . To this point having my XLT for nearly a year, I have not had to use a DCFC charger yet
Great Thread, @Max Power Many items I knew of, But will keep watching for more great tidbits from my fellow Lightning folks, , , I'm sure there are a lot others that we have not stumbled upon..
And we have to remember, in our Lightnings we can see in real time our energy efficiency, In an ICE unless you have a vehicle with the software to see your efficiency it's a big guessO'Meter. And as mentioned in this tread , , , putting the heat on, On a cold morning does nothing to a ICE...
Thank you for that reminder, I have NOT had the need to Jump my truck, and my mechanical intuition would have told me to hook up straight to the battery posts, but I guess the Truck would not know power is returning to the 12v battery...
I keep a excel spreadsheet of my charges, had the similar log for my 06 Taco & 96 Ranger (ICE's). Since buying my Lightning, I'm getting 2.35 m/kW, this is with minimal 75mph as possible (cruise control usually set @ 70)
You can get the m/kW you want, just watch the meter . . . doing 80 on the Highway as you have seen will show you 1.4 kWm, drop it down and you'll see the kW/m increase, you can get the m/kW you want.
Well, My problem is with the 12" center display on my XLT that has the Navigation and for me the audio screen. I has been frequently reverting to the "settings" screen, away from Nav & Audio.
