I’m really trying to live that as I build habits and methods

Those things are most on my mind as I drive. I’m thinking about it before we decide where we’re going lol.

I take it slow and easy around turns and she just manages! We took a day trip to Mt. Dora just to walk around the downtown and enjoy the day during the season. I was concerned about the narrow streets and tree branches, but we rolled in like we owned the place getting a few nods and found some...

It’s really not as big as it seems 😂

The 3.3L is a steady state rpm generator producing 50kw or so regardless of the grade. The battery handles the changing loads while the generator manages SOC.

I think the current Lightning with extended range battery is a good starting point. Curb weight approx 6,800lbs Payload approx 2,000lbs Towing approx 10,000lbs Those numbers are within striking range of the mythical Ramcharger 🤠

You’re right it was GM, but not with their Volt. GM’s Electro Motive Division EMD was highly successful with their FT Freight Locomotives. 😉

Bonus! Except PowerBoost resales may tank as well. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Oh well, perhaps we keep the PB too!

There’s a sweet spot triangle between battery capacity, generator output, and fuel tank size. I don’t know what it is, but once it’s found, it will be scalable. 3.3l for smaller applications and the 7.3l for Super Duty work. 😊

About 350lbs of generator goodness in that 3.3L 😁

Ford is going to beat Ram!!! They should troll and put RC somewhere on it 😂 Probably my next truck ☺️ Please make it flat towable and less than 7,500lbs! 😁

I’m still waiting on the Veritas Vans mount, but I am acquiring tools and supplies as the need arises. A little cordless Dremel for gently enlarging or making holes. Snap in grommets for the holes I make. Wago 221 lever nuts to make solid connections in tight spaces. They seem to use butt...

And now this

House batt voltage input gives negotiated 20/5 100W output plus another 36W charging port 😊

Don’t forget out of lead acid battery Amp hrs!
