while we don't 'tent camp', per SE, we've towed our 3,800lb single-axle camper, with all the amenities, to several locations over the years that had no resources, whether a beach-side park, or just a Walmart parking lot along the way, or a son's side-yard during a visit... we just used the...

SUCCESS: yesterday morning, left on a 235mi trip, at 100%, with success - no issues, and charged for a few quick 13kwhs, at Ractrac on the return... everything is copacetic Thank you FORD Thank you STIVERS(Fayetteville) Ford, my service writer, and my service tech co·pa·cet·ic...

like Henry Ford's photo, above: I'm an 'old' '66 Mustang Convertible 6cyl owner, at age 16, then traded up to a '66 Convertible v8 289 4brl 4-on-the-floor model, both in Wimbledon White, and both to impress the 'ladies', of which none were, really... oh well... and now, over 40 years 'later'...

Auto Manufacturers don't make decisions simply based on whether a vehicle is gas, diesel, electric, or anything else - the history of auto manufacturing is wrought with failures of 'great ideas', and also full of 'surprises' that few saw coming: the Ford MUSTANG, based on the Falcon(not a name...

As I said, some chargers that are Plug and Charge for Fords require activation from an app prior to unlocking the charging cable from the charger, or before starting the charge. That might be the Ford app or the charger network app. I've never seen in 3 years and many, many different PNC...

While I've no issues with my ~40+month original LVB battery, with a truck build date of July 22, and probably the battery itself built several months before that, my recent 'red ring of death' non-chargeable issue made me consider the LVB as a potential culprit - or, at least I had hoped it...

yes, and it's amazing...and very much appreciated when traveling. We have a set of new Autel Red-e 60kw units along our travel pathway... but, they are not really fast, and are difficult to initiate a charge, not sure whether you can 'scan' a qr code, or you have to set up the app, etc., as...

Let's think about what we're all arguing about here: the ability to simply plug in, to initiate a charge. A) yes, the ability to simply plug in to initiate a charge thru the FORD BlueOval account is a nice feature. But, in the end, it's just a feature - it in no way 'speeds' the process or...

yes, you are right. - BlueOval is Ford's automated connection to certain charge station owners/providers in order to allow us owners to initiate a charge session from the FORD App, or the truck, etc., using our own internal Credit card choice on our FORD BlueOval account. Ford also 'bills' us...

while I understand and empathize with the annoyance, you have to understand that the BlueOval Network has nothing to do with rates, and the PlugNCharge option is simply an extension of Ford's software activation of the station... When it comes to rates, you are subject to the charge providers...

well.... it depends... some of us would bristle at the thought of spending 'that much money' on such an un-needed, un-used piece of equipment... although, in the moment, it makes you happy. Yes, peace-of-mind is what marketing makes us feel like we need to spend money on, but, frankly, we are...

drove more today, and everything seems absolutely successful, with not a single issue - you wouldn't know that anything has 'changed', although you'd certainly know if you see the photos of the truck up in the air, the whole battery pack removed, and the time it took to get the technology back...

you had an old towel you could have used more successfully... and it's free.

with my recent MODULE 7 replacement, I saw the same "Powertrain" and "Electric" system alerts, loss of SOC while parked, and the lower 'Power' output....although the truck showed no noticeable negative driving characteristics in the meantime... the Powertrain alert was probably the tip-off of...

my next project should be the retrofit E-Mustang, from E-Muscle Cars.... oh yeah.... how much range should it have? Who Cares!

I find the 'need' for a minimum of "300+" miles of battery range laughable: I have over 62,000 miles in just over 3 years with my "PRO SR" 240mi Lightning, and have NEVER ran out of 'gas', and have NEVER found myself 'without' charging options, and have NEVER had any issue TOWING OUR 3,800lb...

took her for a test drive around town this morning, charged successfully at a Supercharger plugNcharge*, and drove around some more... then, charging successfully now at home, on 30amp 240v... sweet. You don't know how it feels to FINALLY have her back and take a ride after 2 1/2 weeks of highly...

this is an example of, well, while changing the 'standard' to NACS, doesn't necessarily mean that everyone suddenly gets to 'laud' the virtues of having a single standard - many owners will continue to need Adapters for MANY years to come... there are certainly many LEAFS with ChaDEMO that still...
