My truck went down on March 30th after the over-the-air 23B57 software update completed. It has been in the shop since. A cell went bad in one of the high voltage battery modules and needed to be replaced. I am speculating that the cell was likely going weak and the the update which deals...

Glad we could help. One quick comment. There is no real downside to using a 50amp breaker and 6awg wire. The cost difference is only a couple dollars 6awg vs 8awg for such a short run, the breakers should be the same cost. A 40 amp circuit is adequate for the included Ford charger but if...

Charlieman22, to address your questions in my previous post. The wire ideally should be 6awg copper for the current carying conductors. Your ground can be as small as 10awg. There are some cases where 8awg may be used such as THHN conductors in conduit. The breaker should match the wiring...

Electric Vehicle Service equipment is considered by the national electrical code to be a continous load. This is because the charger will operate at full capacity for more than 3 hours. NEC Article 210.20(a) then goes on to explain that for continuous loads the circuit must be rated for 125%...

One additional consideration on your existing 6-50 outlet. The lugs on the receptacle are not listed to have two wires under the single screw of the terminal. It would also appear that this is also not a dedicated circuit, for ev charging this is less than ideal and not recommended.

A nema 14-80 outlet does not exist. The four pin outlet in your second picture is a locking Nema L14-30R. This is a 30 amp receptable. Also commonly found on generators. Your lightning probably has one in the bed. This could be used with an adapter but you need a charger which supports...

As the previous post pointed out, they are both NEMA 14-50R. The R means receptacle vs a P for plug. The difference is the first Hubbell outlet is their builder's grade/residential version (RR450F). The residential version is fine for intermittent loads like a permanently installed cooking...

I was having issues with the 23B57 (Over the air, not performed at a dealer) update not sucessfully updating. My truck had been stuck on it for about three weeks giving me an error that the update was interrupted by another process. Likely because I did not have the low voltage Battery sensor...
