Isn't this the "OFFICIAL adapter for nacs to j1772(Tesla destination chargers)?" It has all the NACS contacts on one side and all the J1772 contacts on the other. Why wouldn't it enable both?
I'm going to sue Ford. They should have opened for reservations around 11:00 pm PST. That would have been much more fair.
ETA: I agree there is no argument for LA over NY... Because San Francisco is a thing.
Dear Mr. 19,
I'm not going to lie. Right now, I kind of hate you. And time zones. I'm pretty mad at them too. But don't worry, I'll get over my jealousy soon.
I started trying to reserve this at 6:30 am, but due to the evil of time zones, folks in the Eastern, Central, and Mountain time...
Realistically, it would be great to have pictures of the coolant lines leading to and from the 7.2kW inverter and what they connect to. In the best of all possible worlds, I'd want those, pictures of the orange high voltage line leading to that inverter, and pictures of part numbers for both...
I certainly don't disagree with that. The "extra $120,000 line was particularly absurd.
I was just being a bit pedantic because I was annoyed to learn how much it costs and by the seemingly unnecessary duplication of inverters already present on the truck. In fact, I'm still a little grumpy...
For the Lightning, the cost of V2H gear is more like $5,000 than $2,000. That's because Ford does the home backup using a complicated system of feeding high voltage DC power from the truck through its Charge station Pro to a panel on your house connected to an inverter that converts the DC...
I live in an area with absurdly high EV market shares, a "semi-rural" suburb in the SF Bay Area, but in my town of about 20,000 I know of one other Lightning for sure and may have seen one more. Rivians, on the other hand, are a common new car, not as common as the Model 3 or Y, of course, bit...
I agree that's what should be involved, but I'm not finding part numbers that go with all those lines. I'd probably get a better sense of how the lines could be Jerry-rigged if I took the bed off, but I can't do that until our other car gets back from the shop or my wife will kill me.
Side...
Hey, I just found a Munro video that seems to show the cooling line connections for the Pro Power voltage converters/inverters. It's at about 12:28 in this video on the cooling system:
I've read about the guy who bought the truck that was supposed to include the 7.2kW second inverter, but...
Is the stuff on the left side of that box converting two-phase power to run a three phase motor? If so, your pump motor needs three hot wires and no neutral. When the system is running normally, I'd check the voltage between every pair of wires in that plug (6 measurements).
Added curiousity...
Actually, the photo you posted contributed a bit to my concern. Your truck is reporting the load (incorrectly) on the 2.4 kW 120V inverter and each of the two legs of the 7.2kW split-phase 240V inverter. That tells me that the truck's computers are supposed toonitor these inverters and their...
I'd really love to try it, but I need to know where to find detailed instructions on what I'd need to do to get the truck to believe it's equipped with the 9.6kW version of Pro Power On Board. I'm willing to buy the parts, remove my bed, and see if I can figure out how to connect the parts, but...
