He obviously doesn't work for Electrify America! ?

Sorry if I missed it on this forum, but I got the correct Order # to use in tracking from a post on another site: Along with my VIN # and ticking the Captcha box, that allowed me to get the latest update (only as recently as 2/1/23) for my Lariat ER that had a scheduled blend date of 2/18...

You get to draw your own conclusions.

We should all hope the Ford Lightning battery does as well as the Tesla Model S batteries. This is an owner-self-reported study (I wonder what @MickeyAO thinks of the results-whether they're for real?). Source: https://maartensteinbuch.com/2015/01/24/tesla-model-s-battery-degradation-data/...

That's what I've read in the past about phone batteries, too. The lithium plating is for real. It's said that the ideal temperature for charging a phone battery is something like 55 deg F to 77 deg F, and I always try to keep my phone in that temperature range when charging it - my ProClipUSA...

I don't know much about electricity and backup solutions, but as far as what companies recommend, sometimes recommendations are not necessarily what's best for the equipment but for retaining happy customers for the length of time that the OEM thinks the customer will be satisfied with the...

Edit_Update: Actually (ISA), if you put the whole HIS system upstream from the main panel, I guess you have the disconnect from the grid and the feed on-grid or off-grid power into the main panel. We'd have a bit of a logistics problem as the electric meter is near the gas meter on the outside...

I did an Advanced Search for MickeyAO posts and the term battery. MickeyAO has been asked more than once for more specific links to the posts in which he says he discusses battery longevity factors. The best post that I could find in a relatively brief hunt is a quote by someone else of a...

Detroit Free Press Update today (2/17/23) on battery fire and battery module issues: https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2023/02/17/ford-f-150-lightning-power/69915555007/

It's been a long time since I looked at a Consumer Reports annual customer survey, but, as I remember the auto part of the detail, they used to ask users for specific details of repair problems and costs, including the car's age and mileage, etc. One problem with "volunteer" surveys is...

As a prospective HIS user, I found Aminorjourney's video quite informative on how to go about load-sharing. I was a little bit disappointed in that I had hoped that she had meant when she declared, "It works!" that she'd gotten the SPAN panel to work with her HIS system, but I guess that's...

@Stonelew. Are you having to go the dedicated critical loads subpanel route? According to Sunrun, our installer in San Antonio will be ETW Energy. The ETW Energy head used to be a senior VP at Sunrun, where amongst other things, he was in charge of Procurement, Distribution, and Supply...

Perhaps soffit vents are not a thing where you folks live, @luebri and @RickLightning. Since we have soffit vents galore every 6 feet around our house, I think we're the sort of folks that Consumer Reports admonishes to keep a gas generator well away from one's house (our electrical outlets for...

Consumer Reports on the safety of gas generators: On the "quietness" of gas generators, I couldn't find OEMs advertising any dB levels, but Consumer Reports recommends ear protection when standing near them - that's how "quiet" they are. The 9.6 kW of power a Lariat can produce is quite...

My robotic vacuum cost $800 :) - but it's losing out to the cheaper competition! A Neato D7! The problem with robotic vacuums, at least mine, is that they eat fine Afghan wool rugs - and can scratch not-so-great bathroom tile if there's anything wrong with the way the brush is seated...

I guess I'm just a sucker for carnival tricks, e.g., awesome gaming computer with an Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU, a DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone, robotic vacuum cleaners, smartphones and smartwatches galore, etc., and a Ford Lightning and its accouterments are just one more form of entertainment... while...

All I can say is that my (Japanese-built) 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid has NEVER had any recalls. It's 16 years old with something like 75,000 miles on it and has needed next to no service other than scheduled maintenance and NIMH hybrid battery replacement (they only last 7 to 8 years, and the car...

My initial motivation was the "whole home backup" would be "green" or "greener" than an admittedly little-to-be-used (hopefully) gas generator, which would be noisy and have its own maintenance issues (our gas lines are slowly rusting outside our house!) - and we're responsible for everything...

A bit off-topic here, but today I appear to have gotten approval from Sunrun via an e-mail to hook up the HIS backup system directly to an existing sub-panel with twenty-six 20-amp 120-volt circuits in it and a 30-amp 240-volt drier circuit, on proviso that I use the HIS system in manual mode as...
