I have a 2023 F150 Lightening XLT. I charge at home once every two weeks. Moral of the story…if you can’t charge at home do your research BEFORE you buy it. It’s an amazing daily driver and this video is proof of why you research things before you buy something. Anything.

I have a 23 xlt ER, have had it for 4 months, I drive A LOT. I have 23k miles on it already. And long story short, if you will not charge at home… DONT BUY. If you will drive over 300 miles a day, DONT BUY. I drive 250 miles a day and that’s pushing it. But you need to have the Ford station pro otherwise you will not make it. If you will do long trips, plan on 40 min charge sessions. For me, I LOVE THIS TRUCK as a daily work commute car.

I charge to 90% everyday. I go to work and charge, at one of the free charging stations for employees only. With a daily commute of 96 miles, I save almost $560 per month. I charge at home maybe once a month and only enough to keep the battery at close to 50% until I get back to work. YOU MUST do your research and make sure you're in the right situation for this vehicle.

@megahops1 I was going to say the same thing. I just drove my lightning back home from LA to Michigan. I had a great time. I have the Tesla adapter for superchargers and yeah it took a couple minutes to plan my trip but with apps like ABRP it makes it super easy. I took the time when charging to take a walk, or eat lunch. I made it work. I saved almost $200 as compared to my ice f150 that got about 20mpg on the highway. It’s the best truck I’ve ever owned. And I would say you’re not going to hurt the battery by fast charging it on a road trip. Sure if that’s all you did to charge was DC then yeah but most people can charge at home or some other level 2 situation and then not charging to 100% you’ll be fine. I found that my trip across the country there was never a time where I could not find a charger or a choice of different chargers so I could get a better rate. Overall it was a great trip and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

@@Freeway_Media I see, valid point. For a NPC city commuter the Lightning checks all my boxes. "Efficient" in the city has no clunky transmission, low NVH, and has utility when you need it. EV fanboys are just as bad as the haters imo. There's a use case for everything, I hear too often from the EV only crowd that they would never get a "gasser" and it's outdated technology. The funny thing is those people often drive 10 minutes to work and back and couldn't fathom why driving an EV long distances is outright stupid.

I've driven in both and the lighting is so much smoother and more comfortable, especially on bumpy roads. But to each their own.

Above 90 degrees you are losing more range than in cold?? EVs are most efficient from high 60s to high 80s so 90s is barely going to dent your efficiency. And how are you only getting 1.7 mi/kWh on the highway? Easily get over 2.0 at 65-70 unless its freezing out or strong headwind. Road trips you should be stopping about 30 minutes every 3-4 hours, especially with tesla chargers. Also wondering why you think EVs are easier to fix yourself vs a modern truck. Most of the non-power train parts are the exact same. Battery has 8 year warranty, and EV motors are way more reliable than ICE engines and transmissions. Gotta say, really just seems like you bought an expensive EV without knowing anything about EVs.

by my math where I live, an EV truck like F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T costs similar to a 40mpg gas vehicle when gas prices are at $3.50. But public charging is usually about twice as expensive so half that and its similar to a 20mpg gas vehicle (or, a typical gas truck)

Not going to ding when it is your decision to not keep the truck, and I do not live in your shoes. My subjective opinion is the opposite. I could not be more satisfied by ditching my 2018 duramax. It no longer made any sense to keep my twice a week routine to fill it up. I took delivery of the competitor of Ford, the Silverado EV. I work and travel on the east coast and have not experienced hardship issues while on the occasional road trip (RI to GA). Keeping to destination L1 or L2 charging planning also helps. My operating routine sticks to home charging, when leaving the garage with a full "tank" takes advantage of the EV simplicity and lower operating cost. BTW, I found pick up truck purchase prices between EV and ICE pretty much on par with each other. I wish you better luck the next time around with your next vehicle purchase, they are too expensive at any point to have regrets with your hard earned money.

@@richardabbott451 Depends where you live. Southern CA electric rates are .26 cents or more off peak and .67 cents or more on peak. So if you get a truck with 20 MPG at $4.00 a gallon and compare to 1.5 miles per Kwh at off peak charging with 80% charging efficiency, because charging is not 100% efficient the cost per mile is a wash. The only benefit of EV is driving dynamics, instant torque.

Mine is raised to about .2 after everything, more than double what I thought when I had purchased this truck.

I did not hear a real reason to give up the truck . You did a couple of super charging. You have alternative gas vehicles for road trips . Your home charger installation might be expensive but it's installed and done so that doesn't matter . You don't seem to be the type of trailer person but if you are I stand to be corrected . Independent suspension not ever seen on a ford pickup should be a dream to drive . Why would you have your windows open while you drive to breath in the car exhaust which is toxic ? I am sure it also affects range negatively. You only had one minor electronic glitch ? Wow that's impressive with all the warranty issues we see with new vehicles . Reliability is the top of the list of desire by vehicle owners . I see it as a well suited vehicle for your lifestyle . I am sorry to have to say this all new vehicles are not simple and use software updates. Companies have figured they can make money off subscription services . My 20 year vehicles don't have any of that but that has gone with the age of the dinosaur and I presume you would not want to go back to that

Obviously cheaper than gas, but not as much as you think.

Never, ever buy an electric vehicle without a garage to store it in and a home to charge it at. If someone buys a 80-100K EV and do not have a home, they need to get their priorities straight. I have the Hummer EV SUV, it is garaged kept and in Florida, FPL offers $31.00 per month unlimited charging. It was a no brainer to get an EV. I save over $500 a month is gas alone and drive the best looking SUV on the market. My Hellcat Redeye and C8 vert are collecting dust. I ordered the Electric Charger Stage 2 just an hour ago. I will be fully Electric within a year. I charge my Hummer every night to 80% and leave the house with 280 miles range. If on a road trip more than 300 miles, the trip planner routes me to FPL Evolution or Electrify American charging stations and I pay .30c/kw (FPL) and .42c/kw (EA). Not ideal, but quite doable a couple of times per year. 850 HP in the Hummer is Insane and I get 65 mpg equivalent, crazy numbers for a 9000 lbs. SUV

Ford are doing some really good incentives right now 0% financing for 60 months and a free 80 amp charger with installation until the end of November DC fast charging you need the app whether that's the Tesla app or Electrify America app and that will give you a cheaper rate you do have to pay a small fee so if you're doing a lot of road trips then it's worth charging at home is the cheapest way to go I have an EV and I'm looking to buy an F-150 Lightning as an additional vehicle for my company used, it cost me $32 a month now to charge my vehicle at home I would spending on average $95.00 a week as small business owner that's a huge saving You have two additional EV trucks to choose from now Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV both will do 440 miles

The range was terrible the roads were terrible they were noisy they put out a lot of smoke. People complained about them. They made comments about how their horses never breaks down an can take them anywhere they want to go and fuel was everywhere and anywhere you stopped and sometimes for free. At some point the EV's will replace the ICE's maybe in 20 to 30 years just like ICE's replaced the horse and buggy. So you can either be a pioneer or the masses that always complain about everything new and stay in the olden days.

Tried being a pioneer, wasn’t for me. I’ve owned a Chevy volt and now this, and I will say… hybrid is 100% the future. All electric is NOT. That’s why supercars are doing hybrid as well, it’s the perfect balance.

My opinion just changed over time after owning it. I did a ton of research before buying, I’m just making the points that affected my decision to sell so others can maybe learn from it.

Once again… proof that plug-in hybrids are way to go… until the batteries get lighter and go longer…!

So basically all your dislikes are things that are very well known if you do basic research. So many people bash EVs because they don’t take the time to research what they are paying 90k + on, I just don’t get it.

Nowhere near 90k, and I did extensive research. Just because I may have knew these things, doesn’t mean they can’t be reasons I regret buying.

One of the worst reviews I’ve seen. Kid didn’t do research. Gas/toy vehicle clearly suits his life. Constantly talks out of both sides of his mouth. Yikes. 😂

Such a disingenuous video. Almost every point was off. I live in northern Canada and my nearest major city is hours away. With the tesla network now its very easy.

My 2001 Dodge Ram runs propane or gasoline, so I get to run on cheap propane in the summer and cheap gas in the winter. 80k miles, bought at 60k.

I wonder why you even bothered to buy it if it was this bad. No soul in a 500hp truck ? Who cares... put your MAGA hat back on. You are luck to be in a place to waste money like you did on something that nice. I look forward to a day when I can waste money like that.

I can honestly side with this! We had a plug in hybrid before (the Chevy volt) and it was great. However I also did have a major issue with that car that did leave me stranddd a couple times, even with only 75k miles (hybrid control module)
