Ford Won't Give Me the Pro Charger 80A

[Howard_Scott_Warshaw]

If I bought a new one today, I'd sell the free unit and get a Gen1 Tesla that's capable of 80A and get adapters. If the industry keeps trending away from CCS and toward NACS, then your future proof.

That math changes if you want to hedge against whole home backup systems.

Thanks everyone. I'll be sure to keep an eye out on these other options. The good news is that Cloninger Ford down in Hickory, NC, came through for me and swapped out the 48a charger for the Pro one they told me I'd get. It took a while, but I've got my QMerit installer lined up in a couple of weeks to get it hooked up.

While we had a few bumps, I'm grateful to the team down there for getting me everything they told me I'd have as best they could.

If you don't plan on using HIS, you may regret swapping the small light cable and connector of the 48A charger to the bigger, heavier Pro. I sold my FCSP and got a 48A charger. Smaller box on wall, lighter cable, and didn't have the bulkier CCS-1 connector.

It has been reported that now Ford may be giving out the Emporia 48A charger which is a great unit.

That Emporia is a very high quality unit. Kinda surprised it's so inexpensive.

SunRun royally screwed up when I bought my truck and sent me two CSPs. Sold one on eBay and bought an Emporia. Installed a CSP at my house and the Emporia at a family members house. Worked out great.

I did the same. Sold my free FCSP and bought acTesla Wall Connector. I now have the UNIVERSAL Wall Connector installed at both my house and my cabin.

The Universal works well for us with its built in either J1772 or NACS plug, since we have Tesla’s and Ford’s.
