For those of us that have ordered the Extended Range battery, does the Charge Station Pro come included? The reason I ask is because I see this statement on Ford's website: "Included with F-150® Lightning™ with Extended-Range Battery."

Yes, it is sent after the purchase for no additional cost.

thanks!

Also, for those of us that get them, what other vehicles will this charge? Volvo? GM? (Anything but a Tesla?)

Anything that has a J plug (or theoretically a J plug adapter- I don’t have a Vehicle that isn’t J plug so I can’t confirm the latter but in theory it should be true)

On this topic. I just got an email from Sunrun asking me to validate my info for them to ship it to me. I got my Lightning last Friday 7/15. Unfortunately, the webpage that Sunrun sent me to couldn't validate my info (order number, zip and lastname). I had to call them. They were able to validate but can't give me any idea how long I'll have to wait for it to be shipped/delivered.

Charge Station Pro has a CCS plug on it, so it rules out some PHEVs that do not accept the CCS connector. Anything else besides Tesla (Edit: And CHAdeMO cars like Nissan Leaf) will AC charge up to 80A through the J1772 plug incorporated into the CCS plug.

Thanks! After reading your post, I used our friend google to do more research. This is a pretty interesting and informative article on it:

I stand corrected, I forgot the CSP had the CCS connector. However, does Tesla not also make an adapter for their cars that allows them to use a CCS? In theory they may not all be able to draw the ATMs but as long as they use the connector could they this use this charge station?

I've thought about that, but kind of doubt it. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that is designed for level 3 charging.....the power for that really comes from the bottom 2 pins of the CCS charger is what I've heard. On the other hand, the AC from the charge station is coming from the J plug top part of the CCS, the bottom pins are only for intelligent backup DC power back from the truck.

Correct me if Im incorrect. My overly simple understanding is J plug is AC, bottom pins are DC.
