charging

Hey Everyone, I just got the Pro Charger installed, and I am curious. I have been charging it to 90% and letting it sit. Today, I drove about 40 miles, using 10% of the battery, which left me with 80%. Do I follow the ABCs—Always Be Charging? Do I plug it in when I am back home and bring it...

I have a 2023 F-150 Lightning XLT with extended range battery. Within the truck I can set a permanent charge limit for my home charging station, or I can set a one-time charge limit. The problem is, neither of these work! The software accepts my change, but actually charges to whatever battery...

Lightning Lariat ER owner here. When I plug in one of my battery banks (sometimes called a "solar generator") into the Pro Power onboard ports, I get a ground fault error which trips the breaker. So far this has happened to my Zendure Superbase Pro (2kWh) and Ecoflow Delta 2 (1kWh). Is this...

I have an older unused 240V dryer outlet in my garage (NEMA L6-30 receptacle). Can I use an adaptor to connect my charging cable to this outlet? It appears that Parkworld makes an adaptor (63272 EV Adaptor) for this purpose, but I want to see if any one on the Forum has any experience with it...

Does anyone know why the Ford Lighting reduces the charging rate to 10A for all 120V hook ups I’m plugging into a TT–30 30A receptacle (Generator & Campgrounds) but it only charges at 10A.? I’m using the AMProad 40A mobile charger, which allows it to set 120V 24A but when I look at the Ford...

Hey everyone! I’ve been facing a bit of a challenge with my EV charging routine, and I’m hoping to get some advice. Typically, I back my truck into the garage for charging, but due to a busy schedule, I sometimes forget and need to charge later. Given the recent cold weather, I prefer not to...

Yesterday I had about 30 miles to get home and 90 miles of "charge" left. It was more than enough charge to get home. My crazy app constantly tried to reroute me about 80 miles out of the way (charge station was 40 miles off the highway) as opposed to just staying on the interstate. At every...

Seems Farley and others will find out about the challenges of charging on the road. Sort of hope he has challenges rather than an easy time... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/august-america-heading-out-road-jim-farley/

Hi, I just recently got my new Lghtning XLT. I don’t have a garage, so I park my car and new Lightning outside (I have a parking area on my lot). I have a 50 amp outlet near the vehicle (also outside in a weather proof box). To my surprise, I learned that the charging cord does not lock to...

I’m a new Lightning and new EV owner and wanted to know if anyone has a list of adapters I may want to have handy in my truck for charging. I just don’t want to be on the road and need to charge just to realize that I need some sort of adapter on that charging station for it to work on my...

Hello! I just picked up a 2022 XLT (used), and just brought it home. This is my 3rd ev, I’ve owned a model 3 and currently also own a Taycan, so I generally feel like I know how charging works. However, I noticed when charging the lightning I can’t find anything that say miles added per minute...

MKBHD just posted his thoughts on what's Ruining Electric Cars. I'd have to say I agree and this is absolutely an issue, but it's also why it's imperative that you need to factor in an EV charger at home as part of your EV purchase. I think EV's are still in the early adopter stage, and so...

TL;DR Use Plug & Charge every time. Yes, it doesn't allow use of the Electrify America Pass+ discount plan, but it doesn't matter. Plug & Charge takes care of the initiation handshake and greatly improves the experience. A few extra bucks per session is well worth the luxury of having the...

This adapter allows non-Tesla vehicles to use Tesla proprietary chargers and connectors. Allows non-Tesla electric vehicles to easily and safely use Tesla Universal Mobile Connectors (UMC) and wall connectors (HPWC). This means you can take advantage of the extensive Tesla Destination Charger...

So I had a F150 lightning as a loaner vehicle, and I decided to make and upload my video to YouTube documenting my experience of charging it at a EA station. Let me know what you think.

It’s been a week since I took delivery. Today when I went to the truck, I found it kept on giving me trailer brake fault in the instrument display (I was not towing). It also gave other warnings as rear cross detention not working. The sync screen kept on restarting itself as well as the...
