Charging question.

[TerryNelsen]

My truck charged at 22kwh before ford replaced the front motor, know since I have had it back it charges at 11kwh. 2023 xlt SR 9.6 kwh system. Any ideas?

Seriously, what are you using to charge the truck?

Also, kWh is a quantity of energy. kW is the rate. For instance, the FCSP can charge at 19kW which over the course of one hour is 19kWh. 22kW isn't possible on level 2 chargers that I'm aware of. What are you using to determine the charge rates?

 

[TerryNelsen]

My mistake it's 22kw is the rate my charger is capable of.

I thought the SR battery maxed out at 11 KW on L2?

My n charger b is a primecom tech 80 amp charger that requires a 2 pole 100 amp breaker.

I was told that with the 9.6 kw system it would accept 22kw.

I was told that with the 9.6 kw system it would accept 22kw.

The 9.6 KW is the total available from ProPower onboard. It is unrelated to charging.

That would be 91.6 amps at 240 volt. I think someone mislead you.

22kW / 80A = 275V
Is that possible in a residential home? I looked up the website, very misleading to promote that it can do up to 22kW.

And Rick is correct, the truck's onboard charger for charging the truck is a separate piece of equipment than the ProPower inverter. I hope it wasn't the dealership that told you that.

Right - the max charge rate of an ER is only 19 KW, SR is 11 KW.

 

[Roy2001]

22kW/240v = 92A, this is not possible.

SR is capable of 48A x 240v = 11.6kW, ER is 80A x 240v = 19.2kW.

The maximum voltage the utility can supply and still be adhering to ANSI specs is 253V.

Edit - this is for a 240V system. Utilities can supply systems with higher utilization voltages (480V, for example).

Look at the mockup ad photo, these numbers do not validate [200v 80a 19.7kw]

I haven't done a full review of thier products yet, but I have seen and used them. I from my limited experience I'd say they are average to slightly below average as far as build quality.
