Video Summary
The video is sponsored by Enhance, Elbilmek, A Better Route Planner, Kempower, and Bilkomponenter.The Ford F150 Lightning tested has a standard range of 98 kWh net capacity, although the gross capacity may be higher.
The charging software may be old, but it provides a 450-amp boost timer for 10 minutes.
The Charging performance was compared against a Ford Mach-E and a Maxus ET90, a pickup truck.
Right off the line, the Lightning can reach 150 kW charging speeds.
The reviewer started charging the truck at 4% rather than 10%, which took away some of the 10-minute boost period.
Compared to the Mach-E, the lightning can maintain ok speed.
When the lightning hits 10 minutes, there is throttling in the charging speed to under 400 amps.
The Maxus ET90 charges at a very slow 69 kW, with only 185 amp.
The lightning can maintain ok speed and has a flatish curve; its charging performance is faster than the Mach-E.
During a 1000 km challenge, the Lightning hit 160 kW when plugged at 29%, with a 19-degree battery mean temp.
The truck’s battery cooling is efficient, with very little Delta between min and max; with the towing package, it also has extra cooling.
With the lightning, the heater can be on without any problems.
It can perform well with PTC heating, and now the newest heat pumps may improve it.
This EV’s charging speed performance is just okay and it needs to charge faster.
It takes 51 minutes to charge from 0 to 90%.
