  1. New EV podcast "Batteries Incuded" starting in August, w/ Domeninc Yoney, Tom Moloughney, & Kyle Conner

    Nope. I am none of them, nor am I associated with them. I just enjoyed their previous podcast and thought others might want to know about their new podcast.

    Last Friday "Inside EV Podcast" was a no show. It turns out Domenic Yoney the shows host has left "Inside EV's". Doing a little web search it turns out that Domenic, Tom, and Kyle are starting a new podcast called "Batteries Included" which should be starting some time in August. Also...
  3. NACS to CCS1 adapter now available!

    I would like to see an adapter that was thin enough that I could plug it in and close the charge port door. In that case I would install the adapter and leave it in place. I am not sure if there is enough room between the door and the charge port but I think that would be the Ideal adapter...

    Here is a technical brief from Enphase providing the same information in detail
  9. Incorporating a Lightning into an existing PV system - without HIS

    Enphase has a video showing how to charge their batteries using an inverter generator which is basically what the propower is. In the video they disconnect the grid and connect the portable generator. The connection could esaily be done using a transfer switch. I am looking at using a three...
  10. What did you replace with your Lightning?

    Replaced my 1993 F250 4x4. I don't miss the 8-10 mpg from a fuel injected 460. I also don't miss doing oil changes and getting smog checks. Would have been nice if I could have gotten a long (8') bed extended cab Lightning pro.
  11. Pro Power OnBoard with Autotransformer -- to work around the bonded neutral issue?

    Enphase uses a neutral forming transformer in their smart switch. Both their back up batteries and the input from solar are 240 volt with no neutral. I haven’t tried it but it would seem like you could connect pro power in the same manner. I am a month or so from getting my Enphase system...

  13. Do I need to run new 400 amp service in my house for the Lightning + everything else?

    I would check the voltage at the charger when charging at 80 amps to see if there is a voltage drop at the charger. That could be one posible problem. If the voltage drop is with in a reasonable amount. then I would assume the problem is with the charger itself. There are other threads on...

    Not yet. I have been busy with solar and utility upgrades. Still thinking about it, but it probably a month or two off at this point.
  15. Rough County Power Running Boards $1199.95

    Yea I saw that too and thought it was stupid marketing. But 300 lbs/ side is suffient for me getting in and out of the truck. Anything heavier is going in the bed. ;)
  16. Rough County Power Running Boards $1199.95

    In looking for power running boards for my 2023 Lightning Pro I ran across a link to Rough County power running boards for the Lightning and had not seen any mention of them before. They seam to be the equivalent of the Amp Power running boards but a few hundred dollars cheaper. I was...

  18. âś… 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Just confirmed with my salesman the truck is at the dealer. I am planing to pick it up on Saturday after PDI and Detailing. Told him not to try to hard on the detailing as I live down a dirt road and across a stream ford so it going to be muddy before I even get it home. It will be a ranch...
