  1. Battery not charging to full, 219,000 kilometers

    If you SOC doesnt reach 100% (or drops immediately from 100% to 86% or some such as soon as you start it after charging), then you probably have a bad battery module that will need to be replaced. Happened to me twice,.
  2. Just got this 2025 Lightning!!!

    Congrats on your new purchase! Not sure if there is a Lightning 101 type of post, but I would just go through the menu items on the big screen and try each one, or just read the description (I think there is an info button for each one which describes each feature in more detail).
  3. Ford Ranchero EV Pickup - News & Info

    Seems like a good fit. I assume that the vehicle will still have CarPlay, so users can view maps thru CarPlay/iPhone like they do now, or they can choose to use the OEM (AppleKit) feature directly.
  4. Tough decision….but its time….

    Please follow up after you've had the Rivian for a few weeks to let us know how you like it compared to the Lightning.
  5. Just noticed that the total power output meter dropped to 93 although my battery is at 25%

    Yes, totally normal. As the battery goes lower the power will drop lower as well.
  6. Dog setting

    There is no specific dog setting, unfortunately. I think you also need to ensure that the "auto-off in 30 minutes" setting is disabled (and this setting has to be reset from the default=true each time you start the truck, at least that used to be the case).
  7. Home Charging STOPS at 85%

    This was happening to me awhile ago, it was a bad battery module. Take it to the dealer and they can diagnose and replace on warranty. EDIT: Another issue when this happens is that it charges very slowly once it reaches a few percent from the max (usually 100%, but in your case 85%), so if you...
  8. 25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

    I don't see this recall in my app (it shows that there are none), but I did get a snail mail letter last month describing this exact recall and saying that parts aren't yet available but they will contact me when parts are available.
  9. Is my math correct? Is it really this cheap to operate?

    This is only the cost for the energy, not for the distribution. Check your electric bill, there are other (sometimes 5 or 6) charges (per KWhr) besides energy.
  10. 12V battery failure while driving 45mph: Fix post #58

    Hopefully Brian from @Ford Motor Company can help you out.
  11. Is This Petty?

    The HomeLink and Level 1 charger should certainly be included, lame that they are not. The Tesla adapter is reasonable to charge for, and there are plenty on the open market so you don't need to buy from Ford.
  12. Ford app 6.3.0 update iOS & Android

    ProPower is saving my ass as I type. Power has been out for 16 hours -- crazy wind and rain storms here in Northern California. The in-laws are here, we are able to have full house electricity (including hot water from the hot water heater) and Xmas Eve dinner celebration will go on as...
  13. Price per KW to charge at home🏠

    These are the correct numbers. All responses here that are under 5 cents don't include transmission and other charges which are much more than the energy cost.
  14. Price per KW to charge at home🏠

    This just sounds way too good to be true. Is this only the cost of the "energy charge"? I checked the rates for this plan (https://www.georgiapower.com/residential/understanding-your-bill.html) and it shows the cost breakdown that includes 11 different cost categories, of which energy charge...
  15. Price per KW to charge at home🏠

    About 0.30 overnight here in NorCal, with EV2 TOU plan. That includes transmission, which is the largest cost. I am guessing that half of these reported numbers are just quoting their generation cost and not including transmission.
  16. DCFC Confused – 2023 F150 Lightning Lariat SR

    That sounds like my typical EA experience.
  17. Storing Lower-Cost Energy in Your Lightning to Power Your Home and Returning Power Back to the Grid

    Hopefully the backup power transfer meter hardware that PG&E in Northern CA installs for free (currently) can be made more widely available and be modified to work as a power on demand system rather than only working when the grid is down. As members may recall, a Ford rep popped into the...
  18. New study of 1,300 EVs busts battery degradation myths

    Didnt read it, but having owned a Volt I can guarantee there were no Volts that retained 90%! Total bricks after 12 years.
  19. Lightning Club Annual Event hosted by Tom Moloughney & Ford (Oct 25) - Chester, NJ

    How about a west coast sponsored event?
