Is the inability to set these still just a display of how far Ford is from having a passible application software development division ? It's going to stay in the way of people adopting if what should be simple, sending an OTA message to a relay, and saving the setting persistently to a...

This will really contribute to paying for the system, and wasn't something I had really considered when deciding to build the Truck charger. I had only calculated payback on the energy put into the truck, and to be honest, we don't use the truck enough for the payback time to be less than like...

Testing is going well first two days. I've been running it with just the Chins, 48v, 5kW battery, and it's been working perfectly so far. 8kW into the truck 13kW saved on the house AC running the mini-split with the garage door open. Truck running with the AC also running no issues whatsoever...

Just about there, fired it up Friday night, now have to make some changes in layout(unequal length AC feeds did not work), but am close to testing charging the lightning. The Ford Charge Station Pro had no issues with the AC feed, but I haven't tried charging yet. It powered the Garage AC just...

We have it, and fired it up. I'm having some issues with some of the security tokens I need to work passing through the Starlink network, maybe, so I'll have to work through that. I'm actually involved with the Starlink rollout at my place of work, so I have some resources.

More fun with Sketchup...

Well, the inverters arrived, but unfortunately, one has taken some shipping damage. But... this is what it will look like. The room on the right side, bottom will be for the Victron EVSE. Cabling will be routed through holes through the table top into innerduct in the rear. 80lbs on the top...

Yeah, I started out with Epever, which are decent products, but we've been super-happy with the Victron 100/50 that replaced the 200/80 Epever in the Shed. I don't have to mess with it at all. This cost twice as much as the EG4 I was going to replace the failed EG4 with, but I trust Victron.

Waiting on UPS for the Inverter/Chargers, but am testing the Charge controller, and getting it moved into Victron VRM. We already had a Victon system in our 8x14 art studio/shed. New wild hair idea is a 24ft aluminum Car hauler to be made dual purpose moving my autocross car to races, and then...

Impatiently waiting on UPS for the Inverter/Chargers. Already testing the charge controller. Moving this build to a new thread, related to overlanding/camping

Starting the mobile conversion of our current off-grid charging system for our Lightning with the goal of WFC (work from campground) in the near future. Starlink standard kit and Roam subscription on the way. Fair warning, the trailer, if it happens at all, won't be purchased until next May...

Close to two years in, and haven't had issues since the battery module service. We knew going in there would be some early adopter blues, but our off-grid charging system (soon to be mobile with a victron system) will have us in free fuel around the time the Truck's paid off. Might be the last...

Updated content coming soon. The mobile Lightning charging system for overlanding is in design phase, and the EG4 refurbished hybrid inverter failed, and has been warrantied by Signature Solar. We're going to move everything to a victron system, increasing the overall cost of the system by...

It actually misses our address by a good bit about every other time. The GPS doesn't seem too accurate.

Are we maybe not getting the "Home" location right somehow?

Unresponsiveness is back again. Can't stop charging from the app again. They definitely have some sort of bug, maybe related to communication with the CSP? Or is this happening with other chargers too?

Trying now. I was about to post a question if anyone else thought the new App is pretty much, amazingly, actually worse at everything than it already was, SOC, location, etc. Ford has SOOOO far to go in this area. About one out of every five times I try to stop charging from the App, am I...

Dealerships, AND fiddle falling around with getting to a cheap EV to sell is what very well could put these guys into bankruptcy. Dealerships, you almost can't blame because they didn't give them a vehicle to sell to the masses. All those, little Fords in Europe? All going to be BYD's soon. That...

Seems like they might prioritize this eventually, when they are replacing battery packs under extended warranties due to charging to 100% all the time.

Hadn't had much to post that was new, but started another phase of the project and broke another record for production. Hit went over 24kw in a day for the first time, which at the beginning of the thread, I think someone mentioned they drove 48 miles in a day, which this would now cover(with...
