Poor EV range on the highway
Orlando Icaza, 03/22/2024
2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum 4dr SuperCrew 4WD SB (electric DD)
I have had the 2023 Ford F150 Lightning platinum about 2 months- Great fit and finish
Super smooth ride and Glides on the highway with ease- Super fast- Looks great- Plenty of space- Lots of storage space
Leather seats are comfortable but they need more thigh support-
Infotainment is not easy to operate-
Most disappointing thing is the range of the extended battery pack- I bought it … with the understanding that I could get at least 80% of the estimated range- 240 miles
I commute 220 miles per day- Mostly Highway
Capacity drops from 306 miles to 90-128 miles after driving 110 miles to work- This is driving the truck on cruise control 65-70 miles an hour- I am typically the slowest person driving on slow lane on the highway worried that I won’t get to work on a single full charge- I try to turn off the heat and radio to conserve energy and still can’t get the range I thought I would get- Typically I have to switch cars at work to a gasoline car in order to get back home- I leave it charging on a charger at the parking lot in my hospital until the next day when it is fully charged in order to get back home- I have called Ford about this and they tell me range is based on many factors including speed weather electric usage of heat air conditioning etc- So basically I bought a 90k dollar truck that I can’t drive the way I want to because of the poor range of the battery pack. This truck is not for long commutes greater than 100 miles on the highway- City driving is not an issue with the range- The truck would be near perfect if the EV range was truly 300 miles. Unfortunately customers are not informed that if you intend to drive it on the Highway at speeds greater than 50 miles per hour you will only get 50-55% of the range advertised on paper- I believe this is a dishonest practice to sell a vehicle to a customer where specific needs are not met based on the information provided- This is a fantastic truck for short commutes and city driving otherwise consider getting a Hybrid-
