From Trucked Up EVs.
In this episode, I am thrilled to team up with Zachary Carpenter, lead electrical engineer, and Martin Meek of Martin Rebuilds, test engineer, to take on the ridiculous F150 Lightning 12-volt battery drain issues and solve them, once and for all. I show you the entire install swap, along with removing the F150 Lightning frunk.
I hope that all of my amazing viewers will consider visiting Martin and Zachary’s channels in support of this build series. They will be recurring guests and contributing in part part to the AMAZING transformation of Quasimoto, my F150 Lightning, in the very near future!
