Need Help Setting Up the Charge Station Pro!

[SampsonTrill]

Hello guys,
I just got myself a shiny new F150 Lightning and I’m super pumped to get the Ford Charge Station Pro set up next week. I’ve got a spot for a 100 amp breaker in my panel, so that’s cool.

Now, here’s the deal: I’m thinking of tackling this install myself, but let’s be real - I’m not exactly a tech whiz. I’m kinda nervous I might mess it up!
Has anyone here successfully installed the FCSP on their own? Got any tips or tricks to share? Appreciate it!

Tnx. Sam

I say go for it! I installed mine, and I'm just an average person, too. If your main panel is close to where you’re setting up the Ford Charge Station Pro, it’ll make things a lot easier, and you'll learn a lot about the setup in the process! Just take your time, and you’ll be fine

That’s great to hear! I’ve got a decent gap between the panel and where I’m setting everything up. Think that might mess things up a bit?

Uhm it shouldn’t mess things up too much, but it might take a bit more effort. You’ll just need to plan out the wiring route carefully and make sure you’ve got the right length of conduit and cables.

If the distance is significant, double-check that your wire gauge is appropriate for the run to avoid any voltage drops. It’s definitely doable, just a bit more planning involved, I think
