2023 F150 Lightning Standard Range charging curve

[gondorian16]

I've seen a few graphs of the charging curve for the ER models. But does anyone have a graph for the SR?

@tommolog created a video on the SR's charging curve last year.

I'm not sure he got a clean session though. I don't own an SR so I can't say if his experience was normal.

At the worst it should be able to hit 120 kw for the majority of the time, I've hit 174 kw before in mine though, just depends on the charger. Starts to drop at 70%, and then major drop at 80%

And here's the curve to 90%

Have you repeated this since last year? I don’t have any hard data but I suspect that Ford has improved this some. I’ve gotten up to 178 kW in the initial hump (and I’ve seen other posts with similar comments) and it seems the flat part in the middle stays above 100 kW up to 80%. Also, my observation is that the general shape is similar even if you start at 40-50% with an initial hump above 150 kW and then a fairly flat curve to 80%.

Less than 100kW between 20-80% is a little low.

0%-80% in about 50 minutes seems correct, that would be around 38 minutes from 20% to 80%

My ER also regularly sees over 170 kW, which is better than Tom’s test last year. Maybe another test to compare? I keep hoping the software updates will improve things, but not sure how much can be changed.

Seems like if I plug in at 60% SOC or below I can always get about 22 or 23% in 10 minutes. 170-175kw as long as the truck and charger are both having a good day.

I do a lot of road trips in my 2023 SR Pro, and have well over 100 DCFC sessions on it. On multiple occasions I have gone from 20% to 80% in 21 minutes, with a peak speed of 171 kW. While that might seem faster than spec, the 171 is what the charger was drawing/reporting, not necessarily what was being pumped into the battery. I have seen these speeds on a couple EA Hyperchargers (it is a miracle) and a non-networked charger at a OnCue station west of OKC.

That's good to hear. I'll be testing mine next week doing from about 10% to at least 70%.

Altho the speed dips a bit after 70%, it doesn't really fall off the cliff until 80%. If you are on a good charger, you are still getting 90 kW or more at 70%, so to go to 80% only costs you another six minutes (on a SR battery). I usually go to at least 85% when I am on the road in order to maximize range/margin. But then I am notorious for pushing the envelope when crossing EV deserts; I roll into many charging stops with single digits of range.
