Back early December my 12volt Auxiliary battery failed and went dead flat on my 2023 Ford Lightning Lariat,I replaced it with a genuine ford replacement, I now have no access on the app or on the vehicle screen to set charging limits , I have deleted all locations and am now unable to add any...
Never bothered paying thousands for an electrician to install the FCSP that came with my lightning (back in 2022 before they offered the install incentive) since we could just use the 240v outlet in the garage with the mobile charger. Have now had two mobile chargers get the red light of death...
Following the mantra of Always Be Charging, I've got myself into the habit of plugging the truck as soon as I get home, every time I get home. I get a reminder to plug the truck in 15 minutes after I get home if I've forgotten, and another at 9:15pm if the truck is unplugged but home.
Always Be...

As many of you know, Plug & Charge is the easiest way to pay for charging – simply plug in...

I got one of the first gen adapters and never had an issue. Now twice I have had no luck. Plug in, lights turn blue, no pulse. App says “starting charger”, truck says “charging” in the charging app on board bit it does not. Tried other chargers and two separate stations. Tonight I moved...
Maybe too much information, but I’ll have a quick synopsis in the beginning, then full details.
2023 Ford F-150 Lightning ER Lariat is not charging. Tried my Ford mobile charger on a 120V and is not charging. Tried 60KW Blink charger & also is not charging. Any & all help is appreciated greatly...
Hi Everyone and @Ford Motor Company
I recently purchased a new Lightning and have been unable to set a charging location. Despite following suggestions from various forums, I still can't set a charging location. The screen indicates that I need to first charge at an AC charger, but I have a...
Hi F-150 Lightning owners,
When we launched our complimentary Fast Charging Adapter (NACS) program one year ago, our team put a phrase on the top of every single box shipped to a customer: “Our Gift, Just For You.” And on the inside, Jim Farley penned a personal note to all our customers that...
In the last couple days, my truck will not obey charge times. We are on an off peak plan and it’s very frustrating. As soon as my wife plugs in at 5PM it begins charging regardless of the times set. I’ve even tried to block it with the charger and it persists!!! I have to manually stop it and...
Purchased this Lectron Vortex adapter July 11th for $200. I never had the opportunity to use it. Now, I finally received my Ford adapter (bought the truck March 31, 2024).
Selling the never used, Vortex for $130 local pickup or +$20 to ship
Those who charge at campgrounds on 30a or 50a what do I need? What works? What doesn’t? Gearing up for a lot of campground visits next year and I want to have any adapters I need and want to go into these trips with confidence they will work.
thanks!

Specifically, I set my charging to 70%. Yesterday as an example, when the charge complete notification it says it is at 100%. Then when I turned the vehicle on it said 100%. Once I put my foot on the...
Has anyone with automotive industry connections heard anything about a projected date for when RAN charging will open up to non-Rivian vehicles? I haven't seen any news about this since the spring when multiple outlets reported that RAN will open up to non-Rivian vehicles, "sometime in the...
Hello All,
I wanted to post about my recent experience using highspeed (50 kW +) chargers across the U.S. and Canada border. I frequently do 600+ mile round trips to northeastern Canada. My typical charging experience has been good with little to no issues. However, I have had two occasions now...
Brand new, never used. Only opened box to take photos. Sold my truck a couple days after this arrived. Asking $200 shipped anywhere in the lower 48. Will entertain offers.
I own both a Tesla and a lightning. I have the ford pro charger installed and had not been able to charge the Tesla until I got this adapter. It says that it can be used to DC fast charge and level two charging at home. So I plugged it into both the Tesla and ford charger, a few clicks later...
Hey everyone!
I am planning a business that may require me to have 2 vehicles and one of them will be my 23 SR XLT. It will likely be remote places, so I wonder:
Has anyone tried to tow your Lightning to charge it?
I saw some videos and thought: if I have a HD diesel truck, it may even be...
