2nd Ford EV, Awesome but do your homework

I started my EV path on a spontaneous order of a 2021 Mach-E a few months after it was released. I went Standard Range on that which was ok for around town, but terrible for trips in winter with 20% Range loss at 50 degrees and below. Original the Lightning price was too ridiculous expensive, Ford changed price in July 2023, I order XLT, extended range 7/27, it was built 9/28, delivered 10/30. So far winter range hits are same 20% reduction. Weekend trips a few hours away are no problem, holiday travel for 12 hours across 3 states and back is a planning exercise. Free charging credits are great from Electrify America, but are crowded with slow charging EVs like Chevy Bolts, so time to charge is worst with waiting in Walmart parking lots. I'm not giving up, but buyers need to be eyes wide open on your use case. Look at fast charging in your long trip areas, you want 200kw and up chargers, lots of 50kw stations show up and are not fast if you empty the battery. Access Tesla network may help, but again that is not black and white as the only stations open to Ford will be 200kw, there is a ton of older stations below this that will not work. EV adoption is not easy and not for everyone, domyour homework first and understand your use case. All that said, I really love my XLT Lightning and do recommend it with the above guidance to people who ask. It is actually a very blend in truck, only people who follow EV vehicles notice or ask. By contrast my Mustang Mach-E got a lot of attention because of the branding and being a SUV.

The truck is a total pig. Takes 13 hours to charge and a 220 V. The charging stations are mostly broke or lacking the volume needed where you do not have to wait. Over priced and technology is way behind Tesla

2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (electric DD)

I bought this truck for two reasons: I have a daily 100 mile round trip for cancer treatments beginning soon. I didn’t want to stop by gas stations, so I can go to treatment, have assisted driving bring me back, plug in at home and go again. I also bought it bc the factory which will make them in the future is 15 minutes from my house, and I want the brand to do well to support the folks in my hometown.

I’ve always been an SUV person so this is my first pickup truck. I could not be more happy with it. I try to find excuses just to go drive somewhere. The absolute ungodly power this thing has is crazy. It’s going to end up getting me in trouble. The technology and the bells and whistles on it makes it feel like a luxury vehicle.

Sparky and the myth

Sparky my 2023 F150 Lightning is a great truck. Comfortable, lots of room, the frunk is really nice to have. Has just enough technology put not to much. Still has knobs for the radio and HVAC. I do not like the idea of going to a screen to find the wipers and anything else that you need in a pinch. The myth is the same for “all” EV’s. Pick a brand it’s the same story. Not enough Range! I have the Extended Range Lightning. Approximately 320 miles fully charged. Ford and most EV models do not recommend charging to 100% unless you are going on a road trip. Apparently it takes the life out of the battery over time plus it takes a lot of time to squeeze the last 20% to top off the battery. So following the manufactures recommendation to charge to 80% you only have 200-240 miles of range. You can not count on a charging station on every off ramp on the interstate so you have to stop short to make sure the charging station is available and not out of service. Also usually you will wait in line for a post to charge. My experience is if I stay within my 200 mile radius it’s great way to go especially cause I have solar on my house and it’s basically free for me to charge old Sparky. On the other side road trips are stressful due to the uncertainty of finding a charging station that works and no waiting in line. I just bought an adapter so I can use the Tesla DC chargers. Maybe this is a game changer since the Tesla charging network is plentiful with locations everywhere.
