Ahh, I get it now—Ford is pivoting the next-generation F-150 Lightning to an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) because that setup actually fits the real-world needs of most current Lightning owners (and probably most truck buyers in general). We bought a truck that we only truly use as a...
Dear Ford Motor Company,
As dedicated owners of the current all-electric F-150 Lightning, we fully support your innovation in developing the next-generation F-150 Lightning EREV to address range concerns and expand appeal for long-haul towing and road trips. However, please ensure that you also...
Maybe this was said somewhere already, but it seems obvious that Ford should not kill the awesome Lightning, and just keep developing it going forward. The developement would be the add-on which is the Lightning-REV for those that want to upgrade to a generator if the standard Lightning causes...
I'm betting Ford will figure out they just need 3 tiered powertrain options on a shared platform. They have a great thing going for the majority of current Lightning owners and this way Ford avoids alienating early adopters like us who value the silent, instant-torque drive without the...
Ouch, so if my math is correct, if you are getting what I get on average of 2.0 mi kwh and gas price is around $3.00 per gal, at 31 cents you are not gaining/saving from an ICE F150 getting 20 mpg. ??
Residential In Sioux Center, Iowa. 24 hr rates. No peak rates. They give a free 48amp charger so they can monitor when it is being used. Not too many EV's in colder country.
Summer (usage in June-September)

Winter (usage in October-May)
$0.083 per kilowatt hour
Talk to your dealer on the 12v battery issue. They can bring up all the stats using Ford's integrated diagnostic system (IDS) and in your case, the stat that shows the voltage, capacity, and sulfation levels of the 12V battery. IOW, they can easily tell if it needs to be replaced.
Well, with you saying that it did everything you wanted it to, that says a lot about your full satisfaction with the Lightning idea and that it actually works for you...many have come to realize that if it actually does work for you, especially with it's charging and distance limitations, there...
I would get prepared to realize you may need to be permanently return it. Hopefully you can find a deal on another one like it. You will also want to hope that once they figure out which part(s) it is, they will not be on backorder for XX weeks. :(
If this statement is in fact true, then yes, why wouldn't Pro Power On Board default to off or at least have a setting to make it default to off? Earlier forums here have stated PPoB uses no power if nothing is plugged in.
That was just a name a came up with as I was adding to this forum. With those specs, hardly anyone would want to pump gas again. But in case you want a pic, I will attach one. Don't get too excited, it's not real.
The phrase suggests that your vehicle is from an initial production run ("Job-1") and is equipped with a high voltage battery (HVB) that supports an electric motor with a power output of 131 kW (approximately 175.54 580 hp).
There has been a lot of actual mi/kWh data in this forum showing fairly large variations. We all know there are lots of factors, my biggest one is cold temps and then wind, but I still think some of it has to do with the battery pacs themselves and this actual data points to that. Most may...
