HA HA - yeah they always want to know the range - I just point out that in Canada, we can drive all the main hwys from coast to coast - if we wanted to. Chargers all the way. Then I mention it does my daily drives for a penny per km...and watch their face...

This thread is from 2022, I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys see now, couple years and 140,000 Lighnings later...what are the reactions now? - My wife likes the Frunk for shopping, it's so convenient for loading. Twice now in a Walmart parking lot some helpful soul has...

In the 1970's back before direct fuel injection engines, winter starting was a big deal in -40 weather. I had an online electric heater in my 77 mercury monarch - it plugged in like a block heater but heated and recirculated the coolant. As long as you had the cabin heater settings on, it also...

Do you set the Automatic Updates to "ON" or do you wait to hear from the membership first - just in case !

Why?

Personally I wouldn't wait - just order the A2Z Typhoon Pro from GOEVParts and charge on. ($219 CAN plus tax, and they show in stock right now, mine arrived the same week I ordered it) just accept the Ford unit as a spare one day when it arrives.

I was not interested in "waiting" for an adapter, ordered the A2Z Typhoon Pro and got it the same week. free shipping in Canada, Done. It is a very solid adapter, that works, and came in a nice zip up case. It fits perfecly in the storage area in front of the gear shift area, without the case...

Should edit the thread title - the problem that wasn't !

Thanks I looked back through some posts. It appears the max Resting Voltage of the Lightning pack is 390-392 volts. This translates in a 96s pack to 4.06 to 4.08 volts per cell. From the paper by Dr Dahn, the 90% nickel cells have a 'top voltage' of 4.4volts, however significant deterioration...

I have been lead to believe the Lightning is using the Li-NiMnCo 9.5.5 (90% nickel) version of the NMC chemistry - would like to confirm this...if anyone has a definitive source.

I would like to know for sure the top voltage of a 100% charged Lightning pack. I have seen 390 v (which is 4.06v per cell) if the actual top voltage per cell is 4.09 then 100% is then 392.6v If this is right, then the top voltage of the pack is between 393.6v and 403.2v I have a scanner - I...

Some interesting information about our battery packs: here The vid and Q n A are pretty long but the most interesting part to me is from 20:00 to 35:00 where Dr Dahn discusses the high nickel Li-Ni 90/05/05 (our battery chemistry in the Lightning) and the effects long term on high SOC charging...

GoEVparts.ca for the A2Z Typhoon Pro. free shipping in Canada, cost was $219CAN plus tax, worked out $248.59 CAN (less than the USD equiv for the Ford unit). It shipped to me in a few days from order. I have been useing the adapter - it is very solid. Edit - and it came in a nice zip up case...

also -40 F ie exactly the same. -40C = -40F = damn cold out.

Yes, words to live by. Although it would be unusual for the oil to get on your own front bumper - like you point out it is possible via pin-hole and spraying under pressure. On the other hand if this came from a vechicle in front of you, I would expect the oil to go up all over your...

Beautiful car, actually looks like a unique car instead of all the nearly identical looking xyz models that have been released in the last decade where every brand's new offerings look just like every other brand. I love the black shadow lines with the deep red body. Classy. Hey since you're...

Great idea, I put a comment on PetroCanada contact about the problem, but I bet it will be ignored - but a comment on Plugshare will get some views. While at the Nipigon Tesla charging area at the tourist information stop, a local lady stopped to charge her Model 3 - she said "those PC chargers...

I decided to go for a drive today - why not - drove to Nipigon and found the two PetroCanada chargers in deep snow - no one bothered to plow it out it seems. Tried both units and neither one was working - the charger asked for my Petro Can App - which was also on the display as 'retired' Dec...

And then the 'chicken and egg' problem - they close EV chargers because they were under-used in an area ...who will buy an EV in an area that doesn't have chargers...and how will charger use increase if no one buys EV's in an area without chargers...

Interesting question - just try it and report back ?! LOL, now I want to try it...
