  2. F-150 Lightning powering house after tornado power outage

    I didn't say house, it was a 240v about 25 amp pool heating unit. I was powering it with the truck temporarily until my electrician hardwired it.
  3. F-150 Lightning powering house after tornado power outage

    I have a NEMA 14 50 240 plug that is powered by my 7kw solar system. If you had something like that you could charge the truck with your excess solar. I have charged my Lightning at 4kw/16 amp while powering a 240 load off the PPOB 240 generator connector. It is great to know the truck handled...
  4. IRS EV Purchase Credit

    I bought my qualifying 2023 Lightning 1-5-24 and asked the dealer repeatedly for all tax forms I needed. They finally sent me some forms the first week of February but not this form.
  5. How often do you actually use the 9.6 kw pro power on board?

    I use my PBOB 240v outlet to charge my 17kw Volvo hybrid overnight and then charge my Lightning during the day from my excess solar output. I have also used it a few times for other things and have it set up to power one of my panels if need be.
  6. Energy Storage/Whole Home Backup/Home Integration System (HIS)

    PBOB that includes the bed outlets (240V) was a $1200 option on my 23 XLT Lightning. I looked at several Lightnings that did not have the 240V bed outlet.
  7. Using Off Grid Solar System to charge Lightning?

    About two years ago I had a 7kw solar system installed with a 9kw backup battery and a 12k Solark inverter. I knew I would eventually have EV's so I had the company install one grid NEMA 14 50 outlet. Then the Solark inverter has a Smartload connection that can be configured as a generator...

  9. Is adjusting amp draw in truck now possible?

    That adapter is for Pro Power Onboard assuming your truck has that option, I have used it to charge my Volvo from the PPOB in the bed of the truck. One end is a 4 prong male generator/truckbed connection the other is female 14/50 to be plugged into it.

  13. Limiting cabin outlet to 360 watts or 3 amps possible

    Is it possible to limit the cabin outlets to around 400 watts/3-4 amps while the truck is parked? I have pro-power onboard, but just asking about cabin outlets and without purchasing any external products.
  14. Dealer EV tax credit experience

    I did not receive the form and cannot get it so far. Myself and my truck fully qualify for the tax credit and I supplied the dealer all info to have the credit applied at time of purchase. They did give me a $7,500 so called rebate but will not give me the IRS required paperwork. Come next...
  15. Dealer EV tax credit experience

    I am not trying to get the IRS credit twice. It just seems the IRS would have some way for me to check my VIN and see if my truck received an IRS credit at all. If the truck has, I have to submit the required paperwork, that I have not received. If the truck has not I should be able to claim...
  16. Dealer EV tax credit experience

    I don't think the dealer pocketed anything. I think they did not want to fool with the IRS paperwork and just gave me a $7,500 credit so I would buy the truck and get it off their lot, I have no concerns about the low price I paid for my truck. I think/hope come January 2025 I will be able to...
  17. Dealer EV tax credit experience

    I purchased my new 2023 Lightning XLT on Jan. 4, 2024. I talked to several dealers in the Nashville area about the new tax rebate rules but none of them knew anything about it. Finally one dealer said they could give me the $7,500 rebate credit so I bought my 60k truck from them. I have asked...
