I’m getting my garage set up to charge my F150 Lightning, and I’m thinking about using my dryer outlet to run a Level 2 charger. My laundry room is right next to the garage, so my plan is to use the existing NEMA 14-30 outlet with a NeoCharge smart splitter, plus an adapter to connect it to a...

Have you checked if your NEMA 14-50 outlet is getting hot? Your Ford app might show the plug's temperature. That's usually the first thing I'd look at. Also, did you double-check that the wires are all tight where they connect to the outlet? Just want to make sure everything's hooked up securely.

Is there any way to get the parts you need for your truck faster? My car has been out of service for three weeks now, because parts are on backorder, and I just don't know how to hasten the process. It is frustrating. I am really considering going for the parts myself at the Rouge plant.

I recently bought a used 2022 F-150 Lightning Lariat (230-mile range) and had an electrician install a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger on an existing 50-amp circuit. Even though it should be capable of charging at 9.6 kW, my truck is only pulling 1.1 kW, which is painfully slow. I called...
