MotorTrend 2022 Lightning Lariat 3-Year Verdict: Plenty to Love, Little to Hate

Are you off the PG&E monopoly? That's the only way I can imagine you're able to pay $0.11/kWh.

Mine is about the same with an EV time of use plan. For super off peak with our CCA handling generation and SDGE delivering we're around the same. There's a $16 fee, but we have fully paid solar and NEM2 so all that does is reduce our net credit a bit and we save a lot running things overnight. During the day we generally generate more than we use.

Pretty straightforward review. It’s cheaper to run compared to its gas cousin, don’t exceed 70mph if you want long battery range, and it’s great at truck stuff. I don’t understand the rear view camera complaints though. Mine always comes on in reverse. Never had an issue with that. For safety I do feel all these big truck need to automatically display the front camera when you first start the truck and start moving (up to say 7mph). So much can hide below the hood on these things.

Please, Ford, automatically display the front camera at low speed for park assist. I always end up manually turning on the camera display when moving forward for parking -- I don't understand why the truck doesn't just bring up that display like it does for reversing.
