I live in the rural area, I don't have a supercharger or public charging anywhere near me. I solely charge at home. Just coming out of winter, my range was in the 190s or less, that is a 100 mile radius.

You don't need a pick up. A simple utility trailer works just fine and is way cheaper. Also can rent for under $20 at Home Depot.

The truck is inefficient compared to other EVs, known fact. You are solely dependent on EV infrastructure that is built, the majors highways have this, so if you don't deviate from the major routes, you would be fine. Crossing rural America, you are not. It boils down to where you would be...

The truck is nice and I'm sure you will like driving it. Looks like a Ca vehicle and in CA you tend to drive everywhere and longer distances. So beware of that, where you can just jump in the Honda and drive up and down the state with no issue. Not the same for the inefficient F150 EV. I...

I use the Ford Charge Pro, always on.

I have had a 24 Flash since mid December in Iowa. I just putz around town and maybe to Des Moines once a month. My guess o meter has never been any where near 250 miles of range at 90% charge. It’s been pretty cold. Maybe it will in the spring summer when it’s warmer. And I have reset driving...

True, I am looking at a used EV for my daughter to use for school (lives at home). She can take advantage of a great car, no fuel cost, and we have chargers. However, when I send her off to the big university, will most likely get her an ICE vehicle. There are no chargers at the dorms, she...

Welcome. Great truck. You will be amazed at how great it is to drive. Then you will be frustrated as you get more adventurous. That's what this group is for. If you never leave your town and just do small/med daily commutes, you will not have any concerns. Obviously, there may be technical...

I think cheap EVs ($25-$30k) will still be a middle class, second car option, I just don't see these cars as an all around savior. The cheap Corollas, Hyundai's, Kia's, etc. will be for the majority of people who only can afford one car. The can drive anywhere, no fueling issues, and don't have...

I bought this off Amazon. I like to monitor cab temps and see 12V charging status.

Its all based on geometry of the suspension setup. I am no engineer, but thinking that under hard braking actions, the vehicle body may squat forward just slightly. In that scenario, the wheel may then be centered in the wheel well. Just a thought.

Here is a RAM promo video. The Ramcharger EREV is at 7:26 on the video. https://www.ramtrucks.com/electric/ram-1500-ramcharger.html

Ford is in the business to sell vehicles, as many as possible, to the broadest market. Unfortunately, EVs still have a stigma. Mostly around range, how fast to refill, and where can I find a charging station that works. I have to take a extended drive last Saturday, 283 miles one way. There...

I do not doubt cold glass and hot temps do not mix. However, theses are laminated windshields with special properties. Ford sold approximately 75,000 Lightnings over the last three years. I am pretty sure they did an engineering analysis when they designed the windshield defrost system. This...

Nope not yet.

No, unless you know of another way than disconnecting the 12V Neg battery terminal.

No, the vehicle is always parked outside, and we are in a cold snap. Negative temps. I will wait for the weather to warm a little when I can work outside. The turn signals all work, i double checked. I am guessing its from the Blind Spot monitoring system not working. But i don't drive...

I would guess any authorized dealer can pull up the code with their equipment. Just wonder how much $$$
