  1. 120V Charging in Cold

    Appreciate it. I see Rivian sells that for $400 - does it fit the Lightning without adapters etc.?
  2. 120V Charging in Cold

    Thanks @mb0220 - can I ask what unit you were using? I thought I read the charger isn’t included with purchase now anyway (I very well could be wrong!) so perhaps better to go with a more cold adapted solution from the get go. Appreciate it!
  3. 120V Charging in Cold

    Thanks @Shawnson - have you found 0F to be about the limit? Have one account of successfully charging at 0F so maybe that’s the lowest it will go? Appreciate everyone’s input.
  4. 120V Charging in Cold

    @mb0220 Sounds like good news to me, if I’m reading right it was still charging at 0F (but not keeping up due to distance and cabin heat I’m guessing). If it’s still charging down to zero that’s well on the road to getting close to what I’d need (rarely might have to / want to charge lower) but...
  5. 120V Charging in Cold

    Thanks all. @mefly2 appreciate the experience. Do you think other than the cabin heating and pre conditioning it would have worked in that cold? Or did you perhaps notice if it was still charging but just not keeping up with the heating load? I am trying to figure out if it will ever not work at...
  6. 120V Charging in Cold

    Thanks. Might get a bit colder than that here but that’s good to know. Even if I upgrade to 240 later I’d be highly curious to know what the limit is if I were to be out and about and 120V is all that’s available.
  7. 120V Charging in Cold

    Thank you, understood range will vary there just going of Ford’s average as stated in their literature as a general guideline. Regardless, is there a temperature at which the battery will stop accepting the 1200 watts of power? If so does it stop completely or is it a reduced level? If already...
  8. 120V Charging in Cold

    Thanks, honestly I am sure I’d probably end up at 240 eventually. Will see if I can find a temp rating…see a few -22F references but not sure if that would only be for 240. I drive just a few miles a day on average. According to Ford 120V will put out an average of 2 miles of range per hour...
  9. 120V Charging in Cold

    Thanks guys. Alright so with 120V sounds like warming, preconditioning, and preheating the cabin are lost if I’m reading right. You can still drive without all this though right? However would it still charge at the same rate in really cold subzero F conditions? I am guessing it would charge...
  10. 120V Charging in Cold

    Hey guys, Looking at the possibility of getting a Lightning and had some questions on 120V charging. My understanding is you’re looking at 1-2 miles or range per hour of charging here which actually would work well most of the time for my purposes. However I was curious how things are affected...
