Very True !!! We built our solar in stages over a few years, buying when good deals were available, installation of the entire system by your's truely. in US$ about $24k materials (PV, Inverters, Wire Disconnects, racking to support the PV and very large ESS battery built from cells). The...

Welcome to a great forum with a lot of knowledgeable members and respectful conversation about all things EV-Lightning related ! Will be great to hear your experiences since you have both the MME and the Lightning!

I get Paid 3 Cents per kWh {solar + Grizzl-E Club rebate} now that I have your attention lol : ok only in better solar time of year, and yeah not so much in November as solar is slim this time of year. ULO 11pm to 7am is now 3.9c plus a couple cents delivery, minus the 3-cent GEC rate = 3...

60-mile per day commute -SR longer daily runs, live in an area with sparse charging -ER Daily towing short distances/city - ER Daily towing long distances - Superduty just my take on it. I will not be surprised to see far better battery tech with much faster charging in a few years, but the...

Sure - but what do they mean by that term? We are all familiar with intake and exhaust "headers" on an engine, but that is not the only use of the term "header" - I have seen the term in water systems where pumps line up on a common connection pipe and it wouldn't be a stretch for the term to...

assumes the name of the part in the lawsuit is ICE-related and 'can't be' from an EV...not so sure about that. Terminology can be less than obvious or clear sometimes. Maybe someone will confirm if the supplier is a manufacturer of ICE engine components or electrical ones ?

I keep a mental list of the free charging stations in the near-to-me towns and City. It is kind of surprising but there are quite a few around this area that are level 3 (120kw) Free chargers, one located at a GM dealership !

I would just like to see pull-through chargers along the main hwys - yeah they are planned, and in some places actually being built, but not my neck of the woods...yet.

But the down side is cold. LFP can't be charged below freezing and has limited discharge below freezing.

Great Idea - and really piss off other EV's that not only does it look like we are blocking two chargers with the darn short power cords at Tesla charge stations, we actually ARE using two chargers ! LOL - but honestly wouldn't it be handy if there really were a charge port on each side -...

Fresh hot coffee ice cold beer electric tent heater getting soft in my old age... For the 12v I think I will get a small solar panel battery maintainer...just in case.

I like to know what my equipment can do: the truck cut me off at 167km/h (104mph) on a long straight level section of hwy. Control and stability was solid all the way up to this max speed.

OP said they had the truck in a dealer shop for some work - could the shop have done something that resulted in the 12v AGM dropping to low SOC, or they disconnected things during the work, removed and reinstalled the wheels and now the system is relearning the TPMS ?

Adding Level 1 power will be better than adding zero power?

Interesting thread: clearly we hear of problems with the 12v AGM batteries from members, resulting in issues such as the truck missing or not finishing an OTA update, or some operational issue at start up, or in some cases a member reports not being able to operate the door locks/start the...

I really like the idea of a 12v DC charging point at the HV-plug area like Chi shows. I would like a nice neat bulkhead style fitting for the truck side - and then a convenient plug adapter to fit the bulkhead fitting end. Mayby a KWAY type fitting? something that looks like it belongs inside...

Nope.

OR it tells us they don't really know what they want, so they lean towards what seems most familiar.

I have seen similar result to OP while camping - the electric site had two 120v 15A outlets, so we used one outlet to run an electric tent heater, and I plugged in the truck travel charger to the other outlet (why not?) but next morning the truck had only picked up something like 8kWh overnight...

I recall Ford already makes a PHEV Ranger - for markets in S.Africa/NZ/Australia - no word on a full electric Ranger that I know of, but it would be interesting to see them since these are pretty common mid-sized trucks around here, along with the Tacomas.
