Push the plug adapter firmly into the charger's body. If you don't mount the charger's body to the wall, it will wiggle just slightly enough to detach from the body even though it looks firmly plugged in.

What Scorpio3d said. It is most likely the plug adapter from the wall into the charger body wiggled slightly loose. Press it in hard.

Once you've taken a moment to learn how a BEV's mileage can vary based on driving habits, weather, and charging, just go for it! You'll be thrilled that you did! I recently got a '23 Platinum, and I'm loving all the extra perks it brings. My friends feel the same way! It's common to hear about...

Thanks for posting! You spurred me to look deeper. I think Gemini AI's smog abatement fee was a hallucination. I posted the CVCs for the other fees. You can look at my post now for the update. Your Bolt's ZEV fee is called a Road Improvement Fee, which is baked inside your Vehicle Registration...

Just to be clear, the actual difference in fees between a Ford F-150 Lightning and Ford F-150 for California are: Commercial Weight Fee difference: $186 (CVC §9400) Zero Emission Vehicle Fee in place of gas tax: $118. It's a road improvement fee baked inside the vehicle registration fee. (CVC...

That's precisely the problem. I always forget to delete it after using it, and I'm surprised when it happens again a week later, which then reminds me to delete it.

Good question. I had to log out since I pay $50/yr for the premium version. A lot of it is available for the free planner. The premium integrates real-time data as you drive through a combination of weather reports, traffic reports, current charger availability, and a live feed from your truck...

Looks awesome! What are your miles/kwh averaging now during everyday driving?

I want to share a few thoughts for those unfamiliar with ABRP or using it without exploring all its settings. ABRP is excellent for customizing based: On your driving habits (I drive like a bat out of hell and don't care about efficiency 😈🤣), How much off-route detour you’re okay with to get...

I wasn't sure which post to reply to since this relates to several posts. I hope it helps. First, Co-Pilot 360 is not BlueCruise. Co-Pilot 360 is adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assistance that requires your hands to always be on the wheel. Yes, you can temporarily remove your hands...

Do you have any preferred charging times set? I believe time on charger in the app is how long the truck has been plugged in, not how long it has actually been charging. If you have no preferred charge times set, then that would be an accurate readout.

It's an easy fix for the heated steering wheel, but you might want to have a dealer handle it for you through the Customer Satisfaction Program 22G06. This program was originally intended for those who didn't receive the $140 credit, but my dealer is allowing me to utilize it.

I had to make a similar decision when upgrading from a '23 Lightning XLT. Part of me wanted the heat pump's added efficiency. The heat pumps sound the same as the AC in summer because they're essentially the AC in reverse: loud at first as it brings everything up to temperature. I only notice...

Thanks. I'll ask him to do it again when I return for my heated steering wheel in two weeks. He ran into a problem with the service tech when he tried to have it updated for another older truck, so I think he was gun-shy. Or maybe they just don't want to do it?

I agree. Maybe they just don't get the same thrill without smelling fuel and grease on their hands.

Can I get a copy of your service record/invoice when they updated you to 1.4? My service rep is asking for it because he said the codes on it will speed up the process of figuring out how to enter it and schedule it for the update.

Yes, this was a surprise for me yesterday. There is a large Ford dealer northeast of Sacramento that handles servicing for a huge population and they only have one tech willing to work on EVs! You can also tell that the service reps aren't fully up to speed on the EVs. It took about half an hour...

I won a 2023 Ford Lightning XLT from the NASCAR Foundation. At first, I considered selling it since I'm not typically a "truck guy," but after just a few moments of driving, I was amazed! Now, I’m selling my XLT to get the same Lightning with the Platinum package. I used to think I'd switch to...
