I had a surprise visit from my neighbor who just took delivery of his sweet Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat. This is the first I have seen in the Wild. He had not yet got his charger installed, and was using level 1 at home, and parking at a local University, to use the free level 2.
Our home electrical panels are only 125 amp service. He would need an expensive upgrade to be able to realize the full 80 amp charging, and the vehicle to home that the Lightning is capable of. He expressed that he didn’t need that sort of capability. I recommended a DCC load shed device that I had installed for my EV charger. With this device, he can run his charger dialed down to 48amps, on his existing 125 amp panel. I have attached the link in hopes it might help others.
