The Cost of Installing a Level II Charger at Home

[Jhodgesatmb]

Foundation Cybertrucks included a PowrShare credit and a UWC.

My apologies. I forgot that I got a UWC, but that surely wouldn't be applicable to current buyers. So my comment needs to be clarified from 'never' to 'only for FS CTs'.

All,I recently had a PCS failure and I have been charging my CT @ home from a Wall Connector capable of 48 amp charging but running it @ 24 amps. Since SEP 2024 when I picked up the CT I throttled back the AC Charging amps to 24 amps vs 48 amps. I did this to less the draw through the Wall Connector and to allow it to run cooler.

When I first ran it @ 48 amps the cord from the WC to the truck got warm and I noticed all the ants in the area really liked that and hopped onto the cable and walked up to the truck charge port and started walking all over the truck. I changed to 24 amp charging and no more ants. Problem solved. The time difference had no effect. It was over night anyway.

Sooo... what I'm saying is that running at a lower amp rating on the charging had no effect on having a PCS failure. It still failed!!!
