  1. First Time EV Owner - New Emporia Classic at 48A. Is this too hot?

    I'm back home and the truck has been charging all night (19 - 100%), but it's pouring rain right now and I'm not going outside to measure anything. I'll try to measure this on the next charge session - most likely Friday night...
  2. First Time EV Owner - New Emporia Classic at 48A. Is this too hot?

    I'm out of town for a few more days, but I can when I get back home. One note, I always fully uncoil the cable from the FCSP to the truck when I use it because I have to in order for it to reach.
  3. First Time EV Owner - New Emporia Classic at 48A. Is this too hot?

    I have my FCSP (set to 48 amps since that's as much as my 2024 Flash will take) wired with 6AWG THHN in PVC conduit (about an 8 foot run from my main breaker panel). Has a 60 amp breaker. I did the install myself, but I am qualified to do so.
  4. Look a truck doing truck stuff!

    Every year I help support a 5 day bicycle ride from Big Bear Mtn. to Mammoth Mtn. in California. I will be posting a detailed trip report in a few days, but wanted to post this separately. Got into our camp location at Lake Diaz in the Owens Valley today and it was quite windy, Temp camping...
  5. Hydraulic bed crane

    I would be very careful to make sure you are mounting to something structurally sound. With the entire bed aluminum, I would not consider anything there as even good enough for a support piece.
  6. FordPass PPO menu this is new right?

    I don't have that on my Android. No longer have my work forced on me iPhone.
  7. Supercharger Avg Power

    From my observations, if the battery is fairly low, peak rate will be around 185 KW. That will taper off some, and once you hit 80% it will drop to around 55 KW. Above 85% it tapers off some more the higher you get. The highest percentage I ever did on a Tesla V# SuperCharger was 95% (it was...
  8. Looking to purchase a camper Shell for my 2023 Lightning Lariat

    Confirming you are talking about a shell (also called a cap) and NOT a slide in camper. As noted above, a slide in camper is not recommended. No problem with a shell however. Mine should be here in a couple weeks. This is my 3rd pickup and all have had a shell. Both of the first two were...
  9. Regeneration Question / Info + Apple Maps

    I have never been near the location you talked about, but yes, you definitely get battery charging back on the way down a hill. I somewhat regularly drive up to mountain top 2-way radio site and always pay attention to how much the battery percentage goes up on the way down. Cool - isn't it?
  10. Run 3 phase tool (120/220v) from Lightning PPO

    Step one. Wire brush the name plate to it is clearly readable. Then it will be clear what power it wants. Agree that for a 1 HP motor it would be a bit surprising to be 3 phase. How many power wires (or terminals) are there?
  11. Front Parking Sensor Activates Every Time I Go 5 MPH! Post 20 Fixed

    Start off simple with a cleaning of the front camera. Mine says the camera is dirty once in a while - does not really look dirty, but a quick cleaning stops that message for a while. No idea on the 5 MPH thing. Don't know if it's related to the camera (doubt it).
  12. Sync 4a Bug: 24 Hour Time

    Yep, I used Forscan to fix this one. I do everything in 24 hour time that I possibly can. Drove me nuts having it keep switching to 12 hour time after buying my truck in February. Simple fix in Forscan took care of it.
  13. New Toyo AT3 EV Tires

    Interested in these too. Currently my leading contender for what I will put onto my truck in a month when some money shows up. Please post your comments / opinions / results as they develope...
  14. Truck Broke Down Unexpectedly - I am frustrated and sad

    Sorry to hear about this. Hope it gets resolved soon.
  15. FordPass only allowing "this charge" setting in 10% increments

    As I said in my original post, it was dollar driven. When I charge at home, it's about 30 cents / KWH. If I am able to get a charge stall at work, it's free, and I can grab a DCFC charge on the way to work that is heavily subsidized by that city Water & Power Department for 15 cents / KWH. So...
  16. FordPass only allowing "this charge" setting in 10% increments

    FordPass version 5.28.0 on both Android and iOS. Charging at my saved home location. Home location is set for a target charge to 85% and charge time of 2100 - 1600. For $$ reasons, I wanted to charge this one time to 75% rather than 85%. Plugged in at about 1950 and it correctly said waiting...
  17. Open Country or Defenders !?

    Thanks for the prompt reply. Can't do it till the middle of next month...
  18. Driver's side power seat/pedal/steering-column failure

    Make sure you keep a spare fuse in the truck - may well blow again...
  19. Open Country or Defenders !?

    Interested in this thread. I want / need to put all terrain tires on my Flash (due to driving to mountain top 2-way radio sites on semi crappy dirt roads). I have been leaning towards the Toyo AT3 EV and would prefer the LT version. Can't make the move for 3 - 4 weeks when some extra money...
  20. National Grid incentive Plan

    Correct. That has been brought up before. There is no work around to that if your provider requires API access. Other than replacing the EVSE.
