I'm happy to have had the chance to have a Lightning in my garage. I don't think an F-150 version will continue on. Probably something smaller and cheaper.
I want to know how to get free power from my neighbor??? Did he run an extension cord??
I asked him how much he had been spending on gas a month, he said over $3000. He now has a level 2 charger at home and. gets free power from his neighbor who has a lot of excessive solar How awesome is that!!!
I have got about 3000 miles on my 24" Flash. I never get over 1.8 on my longer trips. Only if I drive to the supermarket, which is under a mile, then I get a good one.
This is just the way it is and I can live with it as I don't need the longer mileage. If I need to drive a super long...
Europe is also relaxing there CAFE standards. That doesn't help EV adoption.

The figurehead also predicted that the onset of the Trump Administration and its attitude toward electric car-friendly policies like the IRA tax credits and the loosening of EPA fuel economy standards will stunlock EV demand for some time, even after a new president takes the seat at the...
It is part of the zoning regulations of what ever municipality this is located in. Each parking lot in a commercial center has been designed to accommodate what types of businesses are there and how many parking spaces are required. When Tesla comes in, there may or may not be extra parking...
If it is the in the In Vehicle Temp and Humidity sensor, wish there was a way to display those values on the screen. I often wounder what the cabin temp actually is.
I got a 6"x10" utility trailer, about 1800 lbs. If i throw in a 1000 lbs. of flooring, what do you think my range would be on a 24' Flash. Flat roads, some city and highway driving. Thanks.
It can feed back and forth within milliseconds, I would have to ask the metering engineers if it can do it simultaneously. You can ask your utility for detailed meter reads and the import/export schedule. Also you can have significant vampire loads in the house that use up your solar energy...
Also remember you solar panels do not produce heavy amp based power. A Lightening can be charging up to 80Amps, depending. A PV system may only be producing 35 amps. Check your PV breaker size and compare your EV charger breaker size. Also remember your utility meter is bidirectional and can...
I am guessing you are a LADWP customer, or maybe SCE, doesn't really matter. As the previous solar manager for the utility out there, we often explained this to our customers. Energy produced by your panels directly offsets the load being used in the house. Meaning that energy produced by...
Now just wait till the loose ice chunks start rattling around in different areas. You will think something is wrong with the truck. It took weeks to get warm enough to have all the ice chunks melted before the noises stooped.
Mine took about 35 days. I thought the process was alright. I know it started with Q-Merit, and then went to a company in Colorado, who then worked with a company in Iowa, who then got a local electrician in my town. Seemed overly complicated, but it worked. Maybe that is now becoming unwieldy!!
Good experience and thanks for sharing. I don't take mine on road trips, I am driving mostly backcountry roads. I rent a F150 ICE if I have to pull my trailer go outside a safety range. An F150 ICE has a 26 gallon tank and good for up to 500 plus miles.
Sounds good. For us old timers who drove GM EV1s, Toyota RAV4 EVs, and the Nissan Altra EVs, we can share a lot of knowledge of the hard path it took to get here.
My EV experience goes back 20+ years, I advocate for EVs. However, they are dependent of certain conditions to be successful. Not all people are candidates for an EV. The ones that are not, should not get the vehicle, as they will be dissatisfied and complain. Right now, EVs fit within a...
