![]() Based on an average of 30kWh of power use per day, Lightning can meet a home’s power needs for up to three days or as long as 10 days if power is rationed. The truck can also automatically provide backup power through Ford Intelligent Backup Power.During a power outage, Ford Intelligent Backup Power can provide up to 9.6 kilowatts to power a home. The 2022 F-150 Lightning offers eleven outlets to help meet growing power demands. Up to 2.4 kilowatts is available through the spacious frunk while 7.2 kilowatts is available through outlets in the cab and bed. Pro Power Onboard provides juice to 11 outlets on the truck. Looking more and more like a fleet’s Swiss army knifeĪs demand continues to rise for more power and storage capacity, the F-150 Lightning appears to have stepped up to meet the challenge.įor fleets that remain on the hunt for outlets-and who doesn’t?-to charge up power tool batteries or to power up air compressors and other juice-hungry equipment, Lightning can provide. Lightning’s standard-range battery offers up to 230 miles of EPA-estimated range and an extended-range battery targets 300 miles of EPA-estimated range. The University of Michigan’s battery lab technical director Greg Less told HWT’s sister publication Commercial Carrier Journal last year that fast-charging “puts a strain on current generation batteries” and that “you can do it once in a while without causing any serious damage" but "you wouldn’t want to do it all of the time.” On a 150-kilowatt DC fast charger, Ford reports that an “extended-range F-150 Lightning is targeted to get up to 54 miles of range in 10 minutes and charge from 15% to 80% percent in about 41 minutes.” To help gauge range impact while carrying passengers and hauling, Ford’s Onboard Scales use Lightning’s sensors to estimate payload which is then used to calculate range.Īs with all EVs, charger availability and charge times may prove challenging. Fuel economy was cut about 40% when testing a 2019 Ford F-250 diesel with a 7,000 lb. ![]() A 2019 Titan XD diesel pickup reviewed by Hard Working Trucks was getting around 14mpg city and dropped to 7.5mpg city when hauling a bed full of oak firewood and towing 7,000 lbs. Compared to pickups with internal combustion engines, that’s not exactly bad news. ![]()
