Yeah if it's not tripping leave it as is since the wire and outlet are good to 50. If you get nuisance tripping then ask a Canadian electrician about up sizing or local inspector if you have one like US permits require

Right. Using NEC rules the wire would be ok to 55amps but the outlet and breaker would only be rated for 75 degrees C, which would mean one would need to use the 75 C column as the breaker or outlet are only rated to allow the copper to get to 75C. I don't know enough about Canadian rules to...

No. The ampacity of 8 AWG depends on the insulation type. If you use an insulation type from column 2 or 3 you are good to go at 50 amp, assuming conduit fill and voltage drop are not a problem.

Alright...first I am not an electrician so I am not 100% up on NEC and it seems like OP is in Canada so code things can be different. I am an electrical engineer and do size wires. 8 awg is fine for a 50 amp circuit. The issue is what type of wire insulation. NM-B. AKA Romex. Because the...

SOC was not causing it to charge out of window. It occured when I was at 72 going to 80, with a 48 amp charger 7 hours should be plenty of time. So I stopped using the truck scheduling after it did this a few times. The data from my EVSE does not show providing the truck any energy, yet the...

Correct. But the truck will use battery power to protect it's self

Yes the truck still protects the battery even if the EVSE is not providing power. Many times I have heard the fans kick in while plugged in but waiting to charge. I don't use the truck scheduling as it likes to charge outside TOU window even when it knows the window.

Probably depends if you have SORB tubes/crash bars on 2025.

The cash rebates Ford offers to x plan is generally what makes the difference, dealerships push hard towards x plan in that case and don't budge on the non x plan because generally there is a steady stream of people with x plan.

So the dealership did nothing and it just started charging like it was supposed to?

Oh the alarm still goes off with the truck running. My 16yr reading a book must somehow be more of a possible intruder than a busy dog. It makes no sense as the truck is still on for climate control reasons but it does.

I think the OP's point is yes the truck stays running when you leave with the keys (or phone) but if the passengers shift around to much the car alarm goes off.

Soon™

Dang I thought I was putting miles on fast, hitting 19k in 8 months... But that's only going to put me at 64kish at 27 months.

Yeah. @Ford Motor Company had acknowledged this and said they were working on a fix Soon™. the acknowledgement got lost when the forum website crashed

I feel like many of us use non Ford EVSE. I have a 2024 and use a grizzl-E everyday at 11kw and recently used a Tesla destination charger with out issue.

Then so many variables come into play with a sub panel...how large, future uses...more code rules with underground... While I have the knowledge to parse thru I am not an electrician and don't feel comfortable suggesting a BOM for this project. Best of luck.

I would ask the electrician who is going to connect everything because they will have an opinion and are responsible for the install. Going out on a limb that your 2025 is not a fleet truck so you only need 48 amps of charging max. This will mean a 60 amp circuit. If you use Romex then you...

This is awesome! I'm interested for towing purposes to just stretch it a little more or when I need a fast trip but it's 0F outside.

Sometimes I won't have a destination in put, it's just connected as I hop in and then after a few minutes it dings and tells me there is a 15 minute delay on my route.... I don't have a route and there was no delay on my trip home (only 20 minutes trip anyway)
