If you high-mileage folks know your HVB SoH ~every 10K miles, it would be interesting to know how it declined vs. miles driven. Most BATTERY CAPACITY vs. MILES DRIVEN graphs I've seen for EVs show a slightly faster initial drop, then a more gradual loss of capacity. Here's an April 2023...

The One-Year Check-In: Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat (motortrend.com)

I think a big "COOL IT" to all the folks dissing people who got the A2Z adapter, etc. For all the fanboys of the Ford adapter know, it might be as unreliable as Ford's Home Integration System. ? And compared to all the other expenses of owning a $60K to $100K+ EV, what's a measly $200 to find...

@davehu. Also, if you look at FordPass and it says "last updated 18 hours ago," the Ford.com data on LVB %SOC will be stale. It helps to refresh FordPass (sparingly) before you go to the referenced dashboard showing LVB SOC. RickLightning says refreshing FordPass or being near the truck with...

Apropos of Lightnings, too, as the trucks get mentioned in the article. It's basically about legacy ICE manufacturers flubbing the dub on the way to an EV world and the FUD that's spreading as a result (FOX News loves it...): Thousands of Mustang Mach-Es Are Piling Up on Dealer Lots, and Ford...

If Toyota or someone else can truly come up with an affordable, durable 600-mile+ battery, that will solve the EV vs. ICE conundrum. Otherwise, the range of a Toyota Camry PHEV is 673/700 city/highway miles. No range anxiety worries there.

I think the thing to remember about all this stuff is that it's the cumulative integration of small or modest effects, not a life-or-death one, two, or three strikes and UR OUT (well, maybe you'll literally be blown away if you rapid charge a 160 deg F battery whose BMS has failed!). So, the...

And don't forget, because the Ford owner's manual recommends charging to 90%, none of the above can matter much! (sarcasm directed towards taking the Ford manual as gospel and not tainted in the least by marketing, social behavior theories, and the 8-year/100K-mile limit on a measly...

With apologies to Buffalo Springfield, First read this thread a few days ago. Went shopping at Sam's Club today. Trundled along with my cart back to my white F-150, and Holy Shzzz! there was a hole punched in the windshield down by the driver's side registration sticker, and a big crack...

My comment was simply relative to the effect of AutoHold on DRIVE in 2PD driving. I didn't want to start a new thread just to make that comment. After a bit of searching, this thread on 1PD driving and your comment on AutoHold, which enabled me to figure out that AutoHold being off was what...

Perhaps this happens when in Neutral. It took me all of nine months since I got my truck in May 2023 to realize that with no 1PD and no AutoHold, when you shift into Drive, the truck behaves like an ICE automatic transmission. I was always in 2PD with AutoHold ON, since Autohold seemed like a...

If you search on "Tesla BYD," you'll find most folks think BYD is overtaking Tesla in both quantity and quality. One article said something like, "40 years ago, Hyundai was making junk; now it makes some of the world's best cars. It looks like BYD has made the same leap in half the time. In...

On the funny numbers on the Intelligent Backup Power Syn screen display, this is the first time I've really paid attention to what the numbers meant. The initial 0.5 kW transfer to the house with the screen telling me the truck could only transfer power for 4 hours at that rate jarred me and...

Today, I retested backup power transfer by my Home Integration System, and for the 6th time in a row since 1/9/24, it worked. Power came on with 1'20" of cutting grid power. TLDR; the estimate of how long the truck can power your house must include some considerations not shown on the...

Had an interesting experience today relative to this. My FCSP transfer rate got set to 80 A and refused to change via FordPass settings. I could edit and save a new value in FordPass, but it never transferred to the FCSP delivery rate. The last save attempt in FP was for a 48 A transfer rate...

If you go to the iOS App Store, as TaxmanHog suggests for Android, when you find the FordPass app, if the button option says OPEN, rather than UPDATE (or GET), you have the most current version. Tap on the app listing away from the OPEN button, and you will see app details, including the latest...

Depends, I think, on what accessories you're running, the heater, the headlights, the stereo, etc. Why not invest in an OBDII device and get a scanner app that records at least temporarily in graphical form, the LVB %SOC and go for a few drives yourself. I'm sure you'll get answers from...

There are actually three accessory modes. Two appear when you're plugged in and differ in whether you stepped on the brake pedal when you pressed Power On. If you search on Accessory Mode with me as the poster, you can find various observations I've made about the differences between these...

With CarScanner Pro and the right OBDII adapter, you have access to most (if not all?) Lightning PIDs. In examining someone else CarScanner template, I noticed that you can set alerts in CarScanner to go off when the PIDs reach certain values. So, perhaps you could create a CarScanner template...

I think you hit the nail on the head. There are two onboard chargers/inverters, and the CarScanner template I'm using only uses the PID for one of them (I edited the screen page and looked at the PID input). The problem originates in that folks who've made templates use the Mach-E PID list...
