Thank you, best information on the HIS I have seen so far.
But I have to say that the information brings on some disturbing concerns. The biggest concern has to be that there is no mention of an 80 amp, 19 kW AC circuit for the EV charger. So you will still have to have another 80 amp circuit...
The Parkwood 691944Y adapter, https://www.parkworld.us/691944y-p738.html, that the Ford website says is required for 240v power from both the hybrid F150 and the F150L, https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/owner-resources/f-150-lightning/f-150-lightning-charging-frequently-asked-questions/...
The Ford Lightning website ( 2022 Ford F-150® Lightning™ Electric Truck |All Electric and All F-150) says that the Enhanced Pro Power Onboard system offers 9.6 kW, not 7.2 kW. The website says that power is provided to 11 outlets including a single 240v outlet and a Ford informational video ()...
I have a 32 amp Siemens EV charger in my garage that I bought from Home Depot and installed myself. I simply pulled out the breaker for the clothes dryer circuit and install a bigger 40 amp breaker for the EV charger and ran the correctly sized wires to the EV charger. I’m a licensed engineer...
Not only will parking the F150L in a garage protect it from the elements but it will moderate the temperature of the battery giving it better performance. I really want to park my F150L in my garage if I can. Unfortunately, it will be VERY tight in my garage with a F150L in it.
The distance...
I have been trying to get a handle on just exactly what needs to be installed to get Ford Intelligent Backup Power. One thing I realized after searching unsuccessfully for installation instructions and wiring diagrams for the Ford Charge Station Pro and the Sunrun Home Integration System is...
I saw Plug and Charge mentioned on the Ford F150L website but there really isn't any information on Plug and Charge. For all you newbies, Plug and Charge is where pull up to a commercial charger, plug-in and walk away with no hassling with apps, credit cards or RFID cards. Plug and Charge is...
I have already received the email from Ford stating that I will not get a MY22 and, since my reservations is about 100,000+, there is a good chance I may not be able to get a MY23. I'm am very impressed with the MY22 features and specs but we know some things are bound to change. I have...
With a 10,000 pound towing capacity, one of the big attractions of the F150L is being able to tow a travel trailer or a 5th wheel trailer. Also, with a power output of 9.6 kW and a battery capacity of 131 kWh, the F150L can easily power most RV trailers overnight. But the question begs, can...
You are assuming that most people would find lower charging speeds acceptable. There are several very big problems with your assumption related to the F150L. First, as an early EV adopter you are willing to justify and compensate for the time spent at charging stations but people that are used...
I’m still not convinced that the max towing package doesn’t impact range. The Platinum trim package has a range of 300 miles with ER battery compared to the 320 mile range of all the of the other trims with ER. One of the main differences between the Platinum and all the other trims is that the...
I feel that I need to remind everyone that this charging information is specific to 150 kW chargers according to the Ford literature. I have not yet seen any information on what the charge rate will be connected to a 350 kW (800V) charger. We don’t even know if the 150L can accept 800V charging...
Just like you said with your ICE, with an electric truck with a trailer you would pick out a spot with more accessibility. Unless you have actual experience charging an electric truck with a trailer, I would be careful about making statements about what can and can’t be done when charging an...
I’ve calculated the EPA charge rate for my Niro EV at 47 miles per 10 minutes compared to the EPA charge rate of 54 miles per 10 minutes for the ER F150L.
You think ICE trucks pulling a trailer don’t have the same problem filling up? If you’re driving a diesel truck you can fill up at a truck stop but a gas truck pulling a trailer has some significant challenges filling up. If you are charging at a Walmart or similar location you can always...
I have driven my Niro EV more than 800 miles in a single day several times. I see no reason why the F150L couldn’t make those same trips in a single day. Pulling a trailer would take longer with slower highway speeds and charging difficulties but, with a second driver, you might be able to do...
