I did a few searchs of the following: Worldwide EV and PHEV sales compared to ICE new car sales: various results from 1 in 4 (25%) to 1 in 3 (33%) worldwide. All indications are increasing percentage of all cars sold are EV's by year and by quarter. This is a huge contrast to N.American EV and...

Thanks for the post and pictures Pascal - I'm going to do the same on my truck.

In the last month alone I have shown the truck to three people - one calls me and asked if his buddy can text me some questions since he is interested too. While chatting he asks me "just a question, but you don't work for Ford Motor Co do you?" - LOL no, I don't, but I do know this truck and...

When they installed the "smart" meters here (2004 in the south of Ontario, 2010 in my part of NW Ontario) the main change was Time of Use (ToU) billing- allowing different rates at set times of day, to encouage load shifting to evenings ie washer/dryer after 7:00 pm resulted in some cost...

No agreement required if not exporting here. With "smart" meters they would know if you export even tiny amount of power - even accidently.

Check if you are in an area where you can get the Ultra Low Overnight rate. I have this and we can charge up the house-battery between 11:00 pm to 7:00 am for the 2.8 cent rate during winter (crappy solar) time of year. It is great using overnight rate power during the peak of the day supplied...

We have some near freezing stuff 32F/0C and I took a look at the Trip Energy display: This display is in the menu settings, and shows "Climate Use" ie cabin, "Route" ie travel energy, "Accessories" infotainment stuff, and "Exterior Temperature" ie keeping the motors and battery happy in the...

I would stay home if there is a major storm and power outage.

Easy home back up option: add a critical loads panel {like Reliance 306 or similar} move critical circuits from the main panel to the CLP (Fridge, Freezer, Furnace, kitchen and bathroom lights and a few plugs, internet router etc) The CLP gives you a place to power these loads from a 240/30A...

Welcome to the forum, I think you will find there are a lot of great members here that will help you out with any questions.

Hey! a fellow NW Ontario 2024 SR Lightning !! LOL I wonder about additional heat sometimes - for similar reasons. have you considered an electric heater running from a separate battery system for the cabin? Since I build LFP batteries for various projects and my home battery (solar) I was...

I found a Reliance critical loads centre a good option - easy DIY project for not a lot of money. The 30A exterior plug could be easily powered by either the truck (with 30A 240 outlet) or a generator as needed. Note this a few times on various threads: the average home with a house...

If you need that 9.6kW outlet, and the 80A charging - you have your answer.

Interesting 48A/58A max = 82% of max output (I wonder if the dB are a bit less at 80% load) 1.83 USG per hour at 82% load with 15gal tank = 8 hours run time. Add a muffler box to quiet it down and your good to go? edit: with lifting loops on the box

I put the truck destination charger connected to a 10k generator - took a pic for anyone interested. Using the generator display and checking with a meter the output is a bit higher at 33A 241v. after running this for half an hour I checked all the cords and plugs - all cool to the touch.

My very first car was a two door 1977 Mercury Monarch - I had to install a small (12vot) heater and fan for the rear glass, since it would fog up but there was no HVAC/defrost system for the rear glass in that car...small heater with built in fan would be a great idea for this truck...{I wonder...

That is a good suggestion, I own a decent scan tool (yeah kids and college required some cheap transportation and advanced self-performed maintenance back in the day) I have never put the scan tool on the Lightning to date, but thought about it a few times...maybe after supper...

"I wonder if" his back has been giving him trouble since that day, after all if the crash was so significant that it completely totalled the truck, and compromised the battery even through the protective steel armour, who is to question what damage may have occured to his spine, his neck or his...

I have noticed this too: ie if I drive starting at 80% SOC to the near-by city, I typically use 6% of my SOC to get there, but when I charge to 100% SOC I might use 3% SOC for that same trip in similar weather conditions. We know the battery capacity is more than Ford allow us access to, but I...

I see, My 2024 XLT SR doesn't have the 240-30A pro-power so perhaps Ford didn't worry about these models needing to limit to 30A, since they can't supply that power anyway.
