Nice improvement but it’s really missing a few key features that ABRP has which would make it hard for me to switch. Besides the fact it’s also less accurate. Things like: setting charger/arrival destination SOC, choosing fastest route vs. longer/shorter stops, showing number of chargers...
Thanks for this. I wasn’t aware of the 2nd gen and the differing specs, I found them here. I’ll probably run the numbers to compare when we get the second vehicle.
That was my concern. Grizzle offers a dual charger that works similarly. Seems like a new circuit run might be best for us since I have capacity and it isn’t far.
No because my understanding is the charge speed is reduced after the initial burst due to battery pack temps, which would still be high when you unplug. But I do think there can be value for more frequent, quick stops to take advantage of this. After you drive a little while temps would go down...
Im also curious about this, but I currently have a single 100 amp circuit for the lightning with CSP. If/when we get a second EV, it seems like it may be more cost effective to share this circuit than run a new one, although it isn’t far. I don’t really need the full 80amps either for the...
I’ve noticed this and it does not seem to use wifi. I think my house is in an area of somewhat poor cell reception and commands frequently take a long time. This shouldn’t be the case when both the truck and phone are on the same network.
Interesting, I’ll have to try the trick to switch to sport mode. I’ve got the adapter so I can monitor if the battery starts to heat up.
I never held 140+ either. And my initial boost is usually 10-12 min, so maybe that is due to chargers?
Yes, curves are very important. And for those that don’t know, the Lightning’s charge curve is very unique. Most all other EVs follow their curve the same every time, and it’s all based on SOC. But with the Lightning you will usually get a 10 minute burst around 170 before it settles to ~120...
Regarding #1, this should be configurable if I’m understanding you correctly. There has always been the button with 4 settings for how far back the truck should stay behind the card in front of you. Are you sure you’re not set further back?
I think there’s been plenty of previous DPs where people have hit max charges like this, but the second part would be a MUCH bigger deal if true. The lower part of the curve has typically been around ~120 kw until now. Getting ~140-150kw after the initial surge would be huge, since that is the...
I’ve been searching for an answer to this too, because for us it’s frequently an annoyance. If my wife drove it last and it’s parked near the house, it tries to connect to her phone even though I’m in the truck. It either never connects to CarPlay on my phone or is dreadfully slow to do so.
