The dealer lead me to believe I wouldn't have to worry about getting the charger setup. It was as simple as waiting for fcsp in the mail, call and make appointment, done. I didn't ask enough questions, so that is on me.
I did read about ford recommendations, as well as many other studies and...
@Brandaman37, you assumed the charger install was free? Never has been. Used to get shipped by SunRun, now it is shipped via this coupon redemption. But install has never been free.
Your manual explains charging and limits. 90%, not 80%, is Ford's recommendation.
A 110v charging setup will...
First off welcome to the forum!!
There is a wealth of information here that will help you along your EV journey. I purchased mine in March so still relatively new to EV’s but I have done a lot of research and learned a lot from this forum.
One thing to consider is you are saving $1310 by buying...
...buying it. I was told by the sales person that nothing was required by me and that I would be mailed the charger and once it arrived, to call sunrun and they would come out and install at my earliest convenience. Fast forward to today, I just found out that on April 3rd this year, they...
...not the HIS components, and pressed the Factory Reset button on the upper left of the circuit board > 15 seconds multiple times. Unlike the Sunrun Field Website instructions, the FCSP LEDs never turned white even when the Reset button was held down for >30 seconds.
Nevertheless, I cut and...
I never understood why they used Bluetooth for that. There's literally a cable connecting the two devices, and there are communication pins in that cable. This always seemed like a weird choice.
Having the HIS, the Delta inverter provided as part of the Sunrun installation seems rock solid. It will support solar and an attached battery up to a reasonable size. The problem with the HIS is in the FCSP. That is the week link. The communication between the FCSP and truck is where things...
...to be wrong because my solaredge system also uses sunspec over modbus and it would be great if I could wire this in!)
I think the only way to make this work would be to find someone with a working sunrun/his system and sniff the traffic (if that's even practical? I don't think modbus is...
It's doubtful that these companies will support open protocols accessible by third-parties like Emporia. Heck, Emporia itself does not support open protocols. As an example, residential solar inverters have been around for more than a decade and all major vendors (Enphase, SolarEdge, etc.)...
...would set us all back years. Having that barrier early on likely protects the industry as a whole.
Now that Ford [hopefully] knows the SunRun HIS is garbage, and that other companies (Emporia) are rolling out hardware solutions, I expect the standards and protocols will be opened to allow...
...truck DC pins through the FCSP and power my house from it. But there's no way that Ford would let that happen, because their contract is with Sunrun, not solaredge, and no one wants to do anything standards wise when they can have proprietary lock in. And there's no good way around it either...
Just had Sunrun out last week and ran the system through a total reconfig and a battery of tests over a number of hours... I still have to have the truck halfway in and outside the garage about 2.5' from the Charge Station Pro so that the miserable bluetooth signal from the Siemens Ford Charge...
So in theory, and based on what the Sunrun electricians told me, if you can add a battery to the Siemens system and that would work in conjuction with the HIS. What I was told is that the battery would kick in immediatly, the HIS would see the main power is off and the power from the Truck would...
Agreed on the Bluetooth issue... I have to have the truck rear passenger side door 2 feet from the Charge station pro to even hope to have the HIS kick in... this puts it sitting half inside and half outside my garage... BTW we're you ever able to get the software enabled on your phone to...
...over but everything is in km instead of miles etc unless you get in and start the truck... You really need the software. I actually have Sunrun coming out this week to try and fix some of this as I had an early unit and maybe there is a problem with the Charge station pro. I have to have the...
...updates the current CSP has to be manually rebooted. Are any of you expecting the same or similar update issues?
With regard to the Ford / Sunrun (Delta) bidirectional inverter I had installed on 3/1/23 to facilitate using the Home Integration System (HIS) in combination with my solar system...
They must be using Sunrun again???
I ordered mine right after purchasing my Lightning in Mid March and mine is September as well. Beyond disappointed to say the least.
...Amps @ 240 Volts so 19.2 KW/H when using the AC - J1772 plug on a level 2 charger (OR the J1772 plug on the Ford Charger if you don't have the Sunrun Solar/Inverter setup). For DC charging the truck can pull up to something like 200 KWH BUT in reality it averages lower because the battery...
