We were all complaining about the 350s on my recent 2,000 mile roundtrip. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/1-000-mi-road-trip-se-michigan-to-santa-rosa-beach-fl.18346/
Check plugshare for the EA stations I visited. Everyone who tries the 350s is getting lower charge rate than the 150s. I talked to a Pearce contractor at one EA station and he said they're aware of the issue and trying to resolve.
I hear ya. But aerodynamics haven't changed since my last trip. I was speaking more about the rising charging rates. It was nice to have the Pass+ for EA for a few stations. But plenty of others pushing $0.50 or $0.55 per kWh is wild.
Yeah, I have one installed here at the house. I think there are a few Tesla chargers here and there. Maybe those will open up. But, yeh, it's not great.
This is my second 1,000 mi trip to our second home in FL. The first was from Roscoe, IL where we used to live and is linked here: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/northern-il-to-florida-panhandle-1-000-mile-trip-report.14727/
This trip is a bit different in that a) it was a bit...
Same for me. MY23 Lariat. I never got the prior updates with the UI enhancements but I got both 4.2.1 and 4.2.1.2 after putting the truck on an overnight trickle charge.
My Wrangler was famous for this on all-terrain tires. I was out delivering meals one day in snowy weather and came out of the house to find it sitting in the road and people going around it LOL.
This is the thread for you re: points not showing and the direct number to call. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/missing-fordpass-points.14636/
The efficiency numbers I quoted were for interstate driving speeds in cold weather. My daily commute through back roads 7 miles to and from work are higher than this. We're comparing apples and oranges.
Was just this way based on the route I took. YMMV if you have more fast charging options. Also charge rates up to 80% are great and fall off a cliff from there so no benefit, time-wise, in going past 80%.
Wind and cold and driving speeds. You're saying you're averaging 2 mi/kWh at 70+ mph in freezing temps? If so, you have a unicorn because I've not seen one other example of that. Are you relying on the truck to calculate? In my prep for the trip, most every video I watched had cold weather...
Our place is on Blue Mtn Beach. I just installed a NEMA 14-50 so feeling better about it now. I charged to 90% in Greenville on the way down and was able to use mobile charger on standard outlet and at least stay at par in terms of SOC until the 14-50 was installed. But, yeah, desperately need...
Just to put a bow on this…made the same trek back to No. IL yesterday. Same success as the trip down. No charging issues whatsoever. Average temps were slightly warmer so I was able to bump cruise up to 72-74 range and get similar to better efficiency numbers. Last leg from Bloomington to...
One thing I should say as a word of caution is to verify the charging situation here in Northwest Florida. There is a dearth of fast chargers in this area, and the L2 ones that do exist are often tied to hotels, and for hotel guests only. I was fortunate that I was coming to my own house and...
