Charging a Pebble from a Ford Lightning bed outlet
3 months ago
I can charge the Pebble from my F-150 Lightning's 240V outlet in the truck bed, even while the truck is fast charging. I don't recall how fast it was charging.

The Lightning bed-mounted NEMA 14-50 plug is limited to 7.2 kW, while the overall Pro Power Onboard system has 9.6 kW capacity. The EVSE is the limiting factor: some reach 40A, while most reach 32A. I conservatively power the Lightship at 5.8 kW to leave headroom for other AC loads. After roughly 20% conversion losses, about 4.9 kW reaches the high-voltage battery.
