Buyers will be able to charge their F-150 Lightnings at home via 110- and 220-volt outlets but the truck is also capable of juicing at public DC fast-charging stations, and Ford says it can charge from 15 percent to 80 percent of battery capacity in 44 minutes. During our own 75-mph highway range test, the Lightning Platinum managed 230 miles of range. With the smaller 98.0-kWh battery, Ford claims a driving range of 230 miles per charge upgrading to the larger 131.0-kWh pack boosts driving range to 320 miles. During our own tow test pulling a 6100-pound double-axle camping trailer, the range of our Lightning Platinum dropped to just 100 miles at 70 mph. Payload capacity is as high as 2000 pounds for the Standard-Range model and as low as 1800 pounds for the Extended-Range. Standard-Range battery models are limited to a 7700-pound capacity. The official maximum towing capacity of the production model is a mere 10,000 pounds, but only trucks with the optional Extended-Range battery are capable of such feats.
That is one reason why we are so excited. This is literally getting more and more practical EVERY DAY.
All you need is to have enough friends who are willing and able to charge your EV with their Lightnings. So if you don’t have a private parking space, and you park in a different spot every time you go home to your rented room or wherever you sleep, owning an EV can still work for you. The Lightning changes that! The Lightning is a charging station on wheels! One of the biggest misconceptions about EVs is that you must take the EV to a charging station. Most people seldom tow objects so big they reduce their range to 70 miles. And how often do you plan to tow objects 70 miles? It would take a very heavy object to reduce your range down to 70. You can unplug as soon as you have enough charge to reach your next destination. You can unplug any electric vehicle you own anytime you wish. You don’t have to wait at least 30 minutes for a charge. We’ll have more on the F-150 Lightning soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for the latest Ford F-Series news, Ford F-150 news, F-150 Lightning news, and continuous Ford news coverage. Regardless, the F-150 Lightning has received nothing less than stellar critical acclaim since its launch as well, even recently beating out the Rivian R1T in a rather close comparison test.

However, it’s the Lariat – not the entry-level Pro – that’s proving to be the most popular trim thus far, and it’s one that Ford calls the “sweet spot” in the Lightning lineup. Meanwhile, the F-150 Lightning remains in high demand and is a regular atop the most considered electrified vehicles list in Kelley Blue Book’s Brand Watch Study, and currently touts the lowest starting MSRP of any EV pickup on the market, too – a mark that Ford apparently set specifically to force Chevy’s hand when pricing the forthcoming Silverado EV.
Thus far, its customers are using the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning for a variety of purposes as well, including everything from towing boats for salmon fishing excursions to charging other EVs. For around 80 percent of reservation holders, this will be their very first all-electric vehicle, according to a recent survey conducted by the automaker.
In fact, at least one 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning has now been delivered in all 50 states, according to the automaker.Īs of the end of June, Ford had sold around 4,400 F-150 Lightning pickups, though most of them have been delivered in the states of Texas and California thus far. Regardless, the very first F-150 Lightning deliveries began back in May, and the new model has been quickly spreading across the U.S. Production of the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning began at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center back in April, but the all-electric pickup quickly sold out for the 2022 model year, which means that many reservation holders are going to be waiting a while to take delivery.
