Ford F-150 Lightning 70 MPH Range Test

Күн бұрынI fully charge my 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, take it out on the highway, and drive at a constant 70 mph until the battery is just about completely drained, to find out its maximum driving range at 70 mph.

Wondering if you have any issues and/or tweaks. Thanks again Tom. BTW..I am in South Jersey

@@anthonyR9768 This appears to be a rampant issue if you use the max 80A. Don't have to be in a hot climate or hot ambient environment. Seems like a design issue - maybe Tom will run into it if he can install on a 100A circuit. As a workaround, people are having success by turning down the max charge amps with the rotary switch or the app. Will be interesting to see if Ford / Sunrun can come up with an actual fix. Otherwise this isn't an 80A EVSE as it is presently behaving with the necessary de-rating.

When my local Ford called me they said, "It's the lariat or nothing at this point. We aren't getting any choice in models at this point." The dealer has rec'd only two so far. One was the vehicle they have to keep for show for 6 months. One to their first in line customer. Supposedly I'm number 15 ... I'm hoping for this fall.

@@BB-lx7os the seats are a delete item now, per the lightning forum boards. Ford went in and changed the orders themselves. when i look at my order i can see that they are deleted. on ICE truck trims that include them you can't order the truck without acknowledging that you won't get them. rumor has it Ford is prioritizing components for lightning builds, but removing the option on the build sheets "to schedule production faster". the credit you get ? $300. yeah, $300. totally stinks. now, i am hoping that the delays are to await parts, and the trucks will have the seats when built. there are conflicting views on this. only time will tell. it is also controversial as there are ICE truck orders that could have been put in before lightning orders, and they are not getting the seats and being passed over for lightning production, if true. there may very well be a bunch of platinums out there in the 2022 MY that don't have them. my dealer has only received their mannequin, and no customer deliveries yet. i think i am #2 on their list, not 100% certain, but there is no expected build date for me that i can see.

Also just installed a NEMA 1450 on the side of my cabin... but the panel up there is easy to get to so I will also install a hard wired charger up there myself in the garage, as well. Glad you are enjoying your Lightning. Not a Ford guy myself but it seems to be a pretty decent EV truck.

@pstoneking3418 2 жыл бұрын
You can expect range to be cut in half or more depending on the weight you're towing. An extended range battery will charge from 15% to 80% in around 41 minutes. Everyone that has done any research on the lightning should know this vehicle is not designed for long distance towing. Nor is it designed for long distance travelers who are in a hurry to get anywhere. This is a vehicle designed, for great towing and payload capabilities, if used in your local area and you plan on charging at home.

@@pstoneking3418 I'm well aware as I've towed small and large trailers with the Model X but am still curious how the F-150 does due to it's size, weight and battery. BTW, from my own experience and looking at towing reviews (for EV and gas trucks), towing at high speeds is much more effected by the size of the trailer (it's front and volume) than the weight. Travel trailers and hauling trailers have huge fronts that act like big parachutes (or sails) that cause crazy drag and thus increase energy use dramatically and reduce range significantly (on electric and gas). Still looking forward to seeing anyone doing a travel trailer with the F-150 on a 400-500 mile trip - including the charge time.

@@profkeenan thank you for the information. I was just looking for a ballpark figure and this helps. When I start doing the math on the Standard Battery Lightning, the range starts to get less and less. 230 combined, but that turns in to 205 max range from a full charge on the highway. Going at 80 mph (which is normal in AZ), the range probably dips to 190 (from a full charge). When it comes time to recharge, I'll probably only recharge up to 75% because of time, which then puts the range at 150 or so. Add in cold weather, or hot weather (in AZ) and its gets less. Can I still do my road trips off 130/140 range? While I don't want to buy a truck for the things I do 2% of the time, I still want my truck to do everything I want. So, it's a tough question for me right now.

Do you think the batteries need to be cycled so many times before you will get optimal mileage per kwh ?

I'd be curious how much range drops off at 75 MPH. Most of the interstates here in Florida are 70 MPH and I set my ICE F150 to 75 and with a 36 gallon take I've gotten over 700 miles out of it many times and average around 630-650 combined. Any chance you'd run a test at 75?

I been driving in Texas to Arkansas and Tennessee and Missouri area most speed on highway over here is 75 at least hopefully someone around this area do 75 mph to 80 mpg test wonder how far it will go?

The difference in wind resistance between 55 mph and 70 mph is quite large on any vehicle much less a pickup truck that wasn't designed to be particularly aerodynamic. Keeping between 55 and 60 mph will drastically improve range.

What I'm most interested in is how many kW you needed to add to get the battery back to 100%? Its great that it could go that far but if the on board charging system is not efficient then the overall miles/kW will be much less

Hey Jersey neighbor consider reporting battery temperature using the obdii reader when doing range test. That gives us an idea just how effective the cooling system is .I'm sure on a cool day it's whatever the temperature is outside. I have seen however that on my pachy van the battery temp sometimes exceeds outside temp.
@StateOfChargeWithTomMoloughney 2 жыл бұрын
Hi. I've thought about that a lot but have decided not to use an OBD reader on my tests. There are plenty of other KZfaqrs that do, so it's out there if people want that info. The main reason I won't use one is the vast majority of my followers are new to EVs and I am concerned about the perception that EVs are so complicated and difficult to understand that you need to buy and hook up monitoring equipment just to own one. If I can't explain what's going on in relatively simple terms so everybody can understand then I'm not doing my job. :)

Can you guys do a side by side 70mph range test between the F150 Lightening and Cybertruck? I'd like to see the same exact conditions, terrain, temp, etc. and see the efficiency numbers of each.

It'll be funny using the ChargeStation Pro to supply two circuits for your other EVSEs so you can do side-by-side charging of multiple EVs.... from the Lightning. :-D

Speaking of range, does anyone know why you can't disengage awd? I assume that would help the range
@4literv6 2 жыл бұрын
Because Ford didn't spend the $ to build in a clutch disengagement pack for the front or rear motors like some other dual motor evs have. Maybe the next gen ground up ev lightning from blue oval city in TN around 2025 will offer that feature? 🤔
