Any other maintenance besides the HVBJBs?

Wow...what cost to replace 2nd one? Cant believe battery degradation.

Nothing - he was still under warranty.

Picked up my First Edition Feb. 26, 2021.
2 HVBJB replacements. One at 54,642 the second one at 94,362.
Battery SOH is at 91%

Can you remind me if the first edition has ER/SR battery and AWD/RWD - thx.

From everything I've read from Anti-EV folks expect your battery to completely stop working any day now

Doesn't that happen at 5000 miles? ?

Battery is at 91% so 9% loss isn't too bad. I plug in every night at home on my Charge point home flex charger. I charge to 100% in the winter and 85% the rest of the year. I have only used a DCFC maybe 6 times.

How do you see the battery status?

All FEs were ER AWD. Basically, premiums with some additional trim bits.

Anti-EV folks expected it to burst into flames at 10k ?

Nothing - he was still under warranty.

I would also bet if it goes bad a 3rd time……. Ford would probably cover it if he pushed.

Impressive.

What do plan to do now, OP? Keep the car and gamble with a potential HVBJB failure or get rid of it?

Right now I plan on keeping it. I have an extended warranty until 125,000 miles. Kind of want to see how many miles I can get out of it.

Rate of HVBJB longevity is trending downwards... hopefully the OP bought an extended warranty.

Electric powertrain and battery components are not covered by the Ford ESP. They are only covered under the 8 year/100K mile battery-electric powertrain coverage mandated by the government. ??

Have to hook a diagnostic scanner.

Any other maintenance besides the HVBJBs?

Replaced the 12volt battery at 55k miles in conjunction with the HVBJB. Center dash speaker went out 4 times, replaced the front USB port at 15K due to not working. Replaced the cabin air filter a few times. A few sets of tires.

Good information, thanks for sharing. I am curious what kind of charging mix the car went through? Mainly Level 2? Fast charging? Some combo?

Thanks!

Congratulations! Were the HVJB failures both first generation?

Yes they were, the one in my Mache now is the current remanufactured one. (NK4Z-10C666-CRM)

The ESPs are wholly out of touch when it comes to EVs and hybrids. Hybrid components are only covered under the top plan, and the EV plan prices are over-priced for how little of the $$$ components you buy the warranty to cover. Even the lighting requires an add on.

About 98% of charging was at home on Level 2 charger @ 48amps. About half a dozen times I used a public DCFC
