Originally I found this company: https://www.generlink.com/ When I inquired with them, they told me they could not ship one to me as my utility would not allow them. Fast forward a couple of months and PG&E is offering them directly at no cost. I should have bought a lottery ticket that day!

While everyone who has posted is trying to provide good & safe info, please understand this is now obsolete information. the new meter collars with generator input provide the functionality you want.

@tommolog @Ford Motor Company Thank you for the interview. A few interesting nuggets. The next time you have the opportunity, please ask the Ford team the following questions: 1) For the ‘24 MY why was the “fake” passenger side charging port on the Lightning removed when the smart thing to...

Regarding the Powershare, what’s the deal if you already have solar from another provider (e.g. Enphase or SolarEdge)? In other words what are the specifics on wiring?

Goes between XLT and Lariat. Adds tech features to the XLT without adding the sunroof or ventilated seats of the Lariat. If they had kept the XLT head unit it would have been the perfect truck for 99% of the use cases.

Very nice! Does it say on the back there will be an upgrade to a bigger capacity battery and 800 V architecture for minimal net cost after the existing battery is resold to a grid energy storage project? If so, the Lightnings will start flying off the lots!

At Serramonte Ford in Colma, CA (10 min South of San Francisco) Shockingly there was no markup! I do think it would have been better served with the head unit from the XLT. Ask for Sebastian if you want to buy it. He was kind enough to answer all my questions. Note: I was there for a service...

What a hoser! Every model year starts this way. Are you on the payroll of some stock shorter?

I suggest you start dialogs with the dealerships across the country. look what popped in my inbox today from one of the desperate dealerships:

Why did you buy a SR Lightning?

Katzkin for the win!

If you live in PG&E territory request the generator adapter collar for your meter. I read that the Pro power plugs in with no issues.

How would they know if I buy the parts and install it myself? Also the need for backup is temporary given an outage. That’s what the HIS is for. That’s what the collar is for.

That’s a negative ghost rider! Enphase is emphatic about what they will consider a generator attached to the System Controller. On our weekly calls, I always roast them for what they consider a generator! If it’s not spelled Generac they get confused.

Thank you sir! That pro power info is great! I believe Ford and Sunrun would be eager to support such a configuration as sales have been dismal to date. In theory this configuration is something any electrician could install with explicit instructions. The parts are not horrifically expensive...

Thanks! It’s nice to know it works with the 240V outlet in the bed and bonded neutral is not an issue! I would rather have it work with the FCSP and HIS though.

In my area PG&E tested a home backup generator connection last year. The test continues in 2024. I have signed up. The way it works is a new meter is installed with a collar that acts as an intelligent transfer switch. The collar also has a connection for a floating neutral generator...

Flash Window sticker for review. Cars dot com sent me an alert. I followed it to the dealer web site to share with the assembled brain trust!

@Ford Motor Company If Ford can do a few simple things, Lightning demand will return. 1) Bigger battery (need more range) 2) 800 V architecture. (Faster charging on the road) 3) Act as a battery for Enphase, Solar Edge, etc. systems (the proprietary system Ford has with Siemens/Sunrun is a...

@Ford Motor Company Can we have a bigger battery please? Hummer EV battery size please? 800 V please?
