The $80k price cap for the new $7,500 tax credit rule will eliminate the tax credit for the XLT and the Lariat with an extended range battery. I have also read that the IRS will use the Base MSRP and the extended range battery would be considered an option, not considered in the MSRP...

I just received a link from my Ford dealer, https://www.5starford.com/custom-order-request/ford/ that lists the ordering availability for Ford Vehicles but the F150L is not on the list. The web page lists which vehicles can be ordered now and which can be order can be ordered in August...

The draft plan for Texas to spend the money allocated to it under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program is now available, https://txdot.mysocialpinpoint.com/tx_ev_plan/. The plan includes installation of over 2,500 DC fast chargers (CCS) and almost 20k L2 chargers. The...

There are currently 256 electric F150 Lightnings listed on AutoTrader. Many of these F150L are just place holders required under state laws but it looks like some dealers are trying to make so much money off of their mannequins that they can pay the $25k fine and still make a big profit. One...

With 580 hp this truck could easily do 150+ mph but I don't think Ford wants anyone going that fast in their workhorse truck. I'm assuming the F150L has a speed limiter, but I don't seem to be able to find what the limited maximum speed is. I'm not interested in maxing out the speed in in my...

I just looked at the performance numbers for the F150L that were just posted on the EPA website, https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=45317. The website indicates an electric consumption rate of 48 kWh/100 miles. With the listed range of 320 miles, then the available battery...

I was previously considering the Iced Blue Silver color because I thought it was the more elegant color but now I’m planning on Carbonized Gray Metallic. I have pretty much decided on the Lariat trim level. One of the big things that is influencing my body panel color choice is the color of the...

For the Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3 I tracked the weekly production rate but I can't say I know what the weekly F150L production rate is now that product has started. I am starting this thread so we can track the current production rate. If you have any information on current weekly...

I have been trying to get a handle on just exactly what needs to be installed to get Ford Intelligent Backup Power. One thing I realized after searching unsuccessfully for installation instructions and wiring diagrams for the Ford Charge Station Pro and the Sunrun Home Integration System is...

I saw Plug and Charge mentioned on the Ford F150L website but there really isn't any information on Plug and Charge. For all you newbies, Plug and Charge is where pull up to a commercial charger, plug-in and walk away with no hassling with apps, credit cards or RFID cards. Plug and Charge is...

I have already received the email from Ford stating that I will not get a MY22 and, since my reservations is about 100,000+, there is a good chance I may not be able to get a MY23. I'm am very impressed with the MY22 features and specs but we know some things are bound to change. I have...

With a 10,000 pound towing capacity, one of the big attractions of the F150L is being able to tow a travel trailer or a 5th wheel trailer. Also, with a power output of 9.6 kW and a battery capacity of 131 kWh, the F150L can easily power most RV trailers overnight. But the question begs, can...

TheTechnical Specifications states that the ER 150L states that it add 54 miles in 10 minutes and I’m guessing that it will have something like a 120 kWh battery pack. My Niro EV charges at 47 miles in 10 minutes and has a 64 kWh pack. Where as, the Kia EV6 has a 74 kWh battery pack and charges...

It's right there on the Technical Specifications sheet if you really look at it. The note under the TARGETED MILES/CHARGE box states, "Range and charge time based on manufacturer computer engineering simulations and analytical projection consistent with U.S. EPA combined drive cycle." The...

$7.5B earmarked for EV infrastructure that is include in the infrastructure bill congress just passed doesn't sound like a lot when you consider how much EV infrastructure VW has paid for with the $1B they have spent so far on the Diesel-Gate reparations and considering how woefully inadequate...

With the towing capacity of up to 10,000 lbs., it's easy to imagine hooking up a big travel trailer and taking off cross country in a F150 Lightning. The biggest problem with RVing an EV today is that the world is not designed to cater to RV EVs. Even ICE RVs have trouble finding long enough...

With all the vehicles I have owned I never really felt like I had a connection to the place where the vehicles were built or to the people who built them. The only other vehicle a factory order was assemble only a couple of hundred miles from where I live but I didn't try to visit the factory...
