My last three chargers:
1. I disconnected it in the middle of a charge that had not reached its scheduled 80%. The fcsp went white for about a minute, then when blue after what was presumably a reset. Was it possibly unhappy i disconnected in the middle of an active charge?
2. Was charging...
makes sense. is the
hmm. would a certified electrician do that, given whats in the manual? i haven't compared cost of 3awg copper vs 4 awg for 60 amps vs 6awg for 50 amps, might be worth a look.
If i want to charge at 40 or 48 amps, I still have to have this charger installed on 100 amp rated wire, correct? the manual appears to insist on 3awg wire, because it can go up to 80 amps. i'm just trying to compare cost. if i only wanted to charge at 40-48 amps, should i shop a grizzle-e or...
Which models, if any, will have the 12" screen, going forward? Or is that even known yet? I want the heat pump, but i do not want that giant screen. The nobs layout is safer and looks way better, imo. Thanks.
Im looking forward to crusing too. My dilemma, i really love the smaller screen and nobs (your pic reinforces how nice it all fits together), but i live in Alaska and also want a heat pump! Idk why they are making a flash with only the mini tv screen, going forward.
Potential buyer. I have snowy+wet winters and slush is a factor. Slush gets slammed up into the bottom, especially at speed, and I've had an ICE vehicle's sensor fail because of slush, cost $4k to fix. Is the battery pack fairly well sealed off from all the snow, water, and slush so close to...
My electrician's estimate includes aluminum over copper cable due to the cost. It looks like aluminum is durable/safe enough for 100amps, as long as you use the right size. Anyone else use aluminum for their charging setup? This is not a red flag, is it?
i've heard the FCSP can be dialed down to accommodate a lower amperage, say 48A. If so, I wouldn't need a 240 installed, and I wouldn't need a 100A circuit?
so a scenario like this? 240V x 40 amp = 9.6 kW ( use 50 amp NEMA 14-50 plug which is fairly common and needs 50 amp circuit). The Ford mobile charger is plugged into this it maxes at 32 amp so 7kW. I know its not fast, but it will work for my needs.
no garage. 0 to -10 degrees at the worst. i wonder if the fmc is insulatable, or if i can just replace it with a sturdier product? i don't want to use the ford pro because i will have to get a new breaker system.
My understanding, which could be wrong, is that charging with a 240v outlet is just fine for overnight charging. In otherwords, I do NOT need to install a fcsp.
Is there a detailed webpage with all the specs my electrician will need to know, in terms of volts/amps/breakers for the installation of a 240v outlet on the side of my house? I'm at the Ford website and they focus on the Ford Pro system. Maybe there's a thread somewhere here? Thanks.
