    What was your 'build' time?

    How long did it take for most of your orders to show up in Ford's tracking system? I'm used to being able to track a vehicle's build almost right away, but it has already been three weeks and still nothing is showing.

    Dear Ford, please work on your website.

    Mistakes like this are extremely silly and show a severe lack of attention to customers. When you browse Nissan's site for the Leaf and it is spot on, but then you turn to Ford and find this - it is quite sad and doesn't instill much confidence in the company's commitment to electric vehicles...

    What was your 'build' time?

    Evening, all! Quick question. If you had to wait for your FFE to be built - how long was that wait time? I've been quoted around three months, but I'm curious to see what time everyone actually waited for their EV. Thanks!

    Mounting EVSE on Vinyl Siding

    Thanks! I figured out that I can indeed remove the vinyl siding to access the original wood behind it. I will be painting that portion white to match the color of the house and then will mount the EVSE. :)

    Mounting EVSE on Vinyl Siding

    Evening, all. I have a question for you all. I'm installing an EVSE on the outside of my house. Problem is that the entire house is covered in vinyl siding. If it was just wood or concrete then I know how I would handle it, but I'm a bit lost here. I see mounting blocks as a possible option...

    Using an Extension Cord With The FFE

    Awesome, thanks. I saw that one before and it would be perfect. Like you said, I can always purchase the reel separately. :) UPDATE: Just to keep you guys updated on my research. It seems that a cord of around 20-feet pulling up to 16 amps should be 8-guage. As a result, I think I will be...

    Using an Extension Cord With The FFE

    Ah, it is a law. Interesting to see the source of the warning. I figured I'd be safe as long as the cable was properly rated. P.S. - What do you guys think of this cable from Goodyear? It seems like it would be excellent for what I need; easily retractable to the end of the driveway and back...

    Using an Extension Cord With The FFE

    Seems to be a sensitive topic with some and a 'no big deal' conversation with others. Most people seem to do fine with a good extension cord, so I'm hoping I won't run into any trouble with a heavy duty cord. I assume that Ford discourages against it to prevent people from using old extension...

    Questions Abour Choosing 240v Charging Stations

    UPDATE: I went for a Level 2 charger! Ordered the Clipper Creek LCS-20P. Found it at a great price and it will be perfect for my needs. Thanks all! Thank you for pointing this out! I did not notice that different Level 2 chargers had different amperage. Makes sense. Since the dealership...

    Using an Extension Cord With The FFE

    Hello, all! I just signed the papers on a 2017 FFE lease and I'm super excited. I have a few questions for those of you knowledgable owners out there. Right now I have a 120v outlet outside by the garage, but the issue is that the included 18 foot cord wouldn't reach. Would I be able to use...

    Questions Abour Choosing 240v Charging Stations

    Hello, all. I have a few questions about picking out a 240v EV charging station. While at the dealership, they seemed to insist on recommending AeroViornment. I can see that Ford and AeroVironment have a partership of sorts. If I use a different brand of charger, how does that affect my warranty...
