No. A conventional grid-tied solar arrangement requires a source that can absorb excess power. The PPO cannot do that.

When Lightning sales grossly underperformed Ford’s forecast, they were stuck with a bunch of FCSPs. Apparently they have given enough away with the Ford Power Promise that they are switching over the less expensive FCCS.

I agree with you - not having an EGC to the truck is technically a code violation. But the way it’s implemented, it’s not unsafe.

Basically run of the mill cells and a circuit board held in place with spray foam.

If you look at a cutaway of an Ohmmu, there’s no way you’ll give $500 for it.

Wow… I thought it happened. It was announced for both the Lightning and Mach-E, and I know it happened on the Mach-E. Probably the low level of Lightning sales vs forecast resulted in a glut of batteries to use up. Thanks for correcting me.

Mid 2024 model year, I believe. ETA….8th digit of the VIN = ‘S’ means LFP.

You should be fine with an SR. The battery degradation concern of the smaller battery is mitigated somewhat by the fact that it‘s an LFP battery.

I would never have guess that it would (not) work this way. “If you’re not going to pay me, I won’t show you anything!” 🤪

If everything is working properly, there’s no way to unplug while energized.

Did you turn off P&C?

That’s really odd as the thermal sensors for L2 and DCFC are totally separated. It will be interesting to see what the culprit cause is.

You have that option only because you have a 2025.

Write it down a tell them to put the slip of paper where they put all of the other keys.

A faulty charge port can cause that code. Usually the thermistor is out of spec, it’s not really overheating, it just thinks it is!

DUI?

Have you checked the truck for DTCs? When my Mach-E did this, it would throw a code indicating charge port over temp. I ended up getting the charge port replaced.

It really doesn’t matter. If a live wire were to contact the box, the GFCI will trip. It will never be energized.

If you use PAAK, you don’t need to hand the valet your key. They get a code.
