LightShip AE.1 Turbo Edition at Bryce Canyon National Park

Outstanding 7 hour drive with V2V In-Motion Energy Transfer active between the PowerBoost and LightShip for the entire trip. Left with high voltage battery at 85%, 7 hours of driving with everything on in the cabin (refrigerator, hot water and HVAC). Arrived at Bryce Canyon NP with high voltage battery at 90% SOC, the set maximum charge. The current 30 amp umbilical is stable putting out 24 amps via the AeroHub EVSE plugged into the NACS port.

More detail on the trip later.

The following video is an in-motion walkthrough of the various iPhone apps that I use to monitor the LightShip in motion during long trips. This is a rough cut video with a few mistakes but you should get the general idea of the various sensor systems on board both the F-150 PowerBoost and the LightShip Turbo Edition. Doing an in-motion walk through of live apps on an iPhone while driving 70 MPH is with a LightShip in tow is a little challenging, but it is the only way to show the vehicle dynamics at highway speeds. The first segment covers the various parameters exposed by the OBD-Link OBD connector on the Powerboost while in motion at highway speeds. The other segments show the new security camera system I installed and the temperature profiling system now in the LightShip. The last segment is an app that monitors the BMS system of the 12 volt battery in the AeroHub. This is information not available in the Atlas app. The 12 volt system is a critical system that supports all of the automation in the LightShip. This was shot on the way to Bryce Canyon, I may try another on the way back.
