Ford Power Promise

No. A 30A EVSE cannot be safely used continuously on a 30A circuit.

So you're saying I can't charge my truck with the cable they included to charge it with? Are you OK?

No they’re saying that a 30a charger should be on a 40a circuit per code.

I’m fine, thanks. A branch circuit for powering an EVSE is to be sized at 125% of the EVSE max current. It can be used on a 40 or 50A circuit. See NEC article 625.

Perhaps one can just turn the charge rate down ehh?

What is this screen shot of? Looks like FordPass, what version?

the FMC is not adjustable, though third party EVSE might be ..... but the FMC is not!

Looks to me like a screenshot from the FordPass app, the AC Charge rate setting. The vehicle can limit the charge rate, not dependent on the charger.

Yep that works for your 2025 Flash. However not every year of the Lightning has the ability to change the AC charge rate. So just didn’t want to assume.

Yep Ford pass. Adjustable from 5a-48a.

Perhaps it's new for the 25 ym?

That's a nice enhancement for MY25, us older MY's can't do that on the same version of Fordpass!

 

[TaxmanHog]

@Ford Motor Company when are you bringing this enhancement to older trucks??????????


BTW: They are monitoring the forum once again!!!!!

This is so good. They are pretty fast with getting the charger and getting things schedule. Mines getting installed next week.

Good call. Nice feature for the 25 model year (only). You can go up to 24A on a 30A circuit.

Yes, you can use this to turn down your charger. It is a new feature on the 2025s so most folks here have never seen that screen.

"Technically" the onboard charger in the truck is reducing the current flow on the MY25+ Lightnings.

@Ford Motor Company can you roll out this feature to the rest of us older models ?

Just bought the truck last week so it's all completely new to me lol.
