I assume you're talking about the Ford mobile charger that comes with most of these trucks? That one is rated at 30 amps. However, since there's supposed to be a 20% buffer you'd need a circuit providing almost 40 amps to power that charger....unless the charger is smart enough to throttle itself down and just use the amount of electricity it can safely get. I do not know for certain if it does or not. I had my electrician put a 40 amp circuit in my barn for my truck so that there'd be no problems. (And, separately, Ford covered the cost of a 60 amp circuit in my garage at the house.)

Thanks for all the helpful information. Since this is my first EV it has been a little of a learning curve. I am using my dryer 30 amp circuit I did notice that my AC charger setting in the app was set to the max 48 amp. I have since dialed it back to 24 amp and things seem to be working well now.
Thanks again, glad I found this forums.

Congrats on your new 2025 Flash and Welcome to the Forum from another Lightning owner. If you have any questions please ask away.
You are fortunate that you have a 2023 where you can set the max charge current. For prior model years this is not a selection that is available.
