    EVSE With Adjustable Amps

    Has anyone tried to use a Level 1 EVSE with an adjustable amp setting? Last night was my fourth time towing my FFE because I ran out of battery. It doesn't look like I'm going to change my habits, so I think it is a good idea to carry a portable generator, in case of emergency. I want a 1000w...

    Different kWh usage in MyView

    Can someone explain to me why the kWh usage in MyView is not always ~33kw? For example. Today, I drove on highway around 75mph and reached 14.3 kWh used with about 30% battery left, after traveling 44 miles. But, when I’m driving around town it will display much higher kWh usage…with the...

    Ford Parts HVB Price Increase

    Anyone else notice that the price of a replacement HVB from Ford has drastically increased in price? At one point it was below $10,000. Not it lists for $21,214.18. Is this because the 2018 battery packs are new, will be used on FFE from any year, and/or has more Kw??

    HVB Charge Preperation

    Does anyone know if the FFE preps the HVB to optimal charging conditions prior to charging the HVB? For example, if the HVB is -10 degrees, the charging system will warm the HVB to a more optimal chargin temp? Or once the charger is plugged in, it immediately starts applying juice to the HVB?

    Disable Power Steering

    Yep. Long shot I know. Anyone know how to disable power steering? I would imagine that costs tons of energy and you would probably considerably extend the amount of distance you could travel if power steering was disabled. I always liked the feel of driving a car without power steering anyways.
