In this instalment of the Ultimate F150 Lightning Build series, I took the plunge and swapped out my wheels and tires for something far more durable and aggressive, but at a cost.
This truck has to be able to accomplish some pretty lofty adventures in the future, so this ultimate build filling...
The Worksport SOLIS Tonneau Cover augments it. The Bluetti Apex300/B500k combo system I chose system powers it with almost 16 kWhs, & the EverDrive prototype lets me do it all while driving.
But is my home-made 'EREV' worth it, or is a gas or diesel power source a better solution for almost...
Strap in for the Ultimate F150 Lightning Build Series!
We're just getting started...
I'll ensure I post every build stage as it occurs. Can't wait to share it all with the community.
In this episode of the Ultimate F150 Lightning Build Series, I put my money where my mouth is and tested my jimmy-rigged EREV system using EverDrive's Auxiliary Charge-While-U-Drive port, almost 16kWh of an in-parallel set of Bluetti Apex300 and B500K battery expansion packs, and the Worksport...
I want to thank Martin Rebuilds & Zachary Carpenter for choosing Trucked Up EVs to 'test pilot' & showcase EverDrive using various power sources.
It's true. I can charge while I drive. Unlike other EREV concepts that have yet to come to market, I choose the type of power source.

Celebrating options, versatility, and innovation for the EV owner space helps accelerate EV adoption even faster - and we...
I'm kicking off the Ultimate F150 Lightning Build Series with a full reveal of what Trucked Up EVs will be doing and why.
In the end, I hope to transform Quasimoto, my 2022 F150 Lightning Lariat ER into a fully capable, nimble but mighty, Lightning Raptor EREV - but I'll be able to chose the...
I can't wait to dive into this! We've already started, but getting amazing feedback on what people have on their kitted-out Lightning wish list.
Should be fun!I
This was the straw that broke the camel's back. And it is important to call out Ford as it tries to fabricate the reasons for the Lightning's demise. 100% of it rests squarely on Ford's shoulders.
Recalls, do not deliver or demo notices, blown tires, blizzards, floods, and washouts. I never expected buying the oldest, cheapest, highest mileage EV truck I could find would be this difficult!
But I finally have my filler truck, aptly named QuasiMoto(r) the Franken Truck, that will be my lab...
