Video Summary
Here are the key points and findings from the video review of the Ford F-150 Lightning Pro with a standard range battery:- At highway speeds of 70mph, a full charge from 100% to zero achieved 214 miles.
- The usable battery capacity is 98-kilowatt hours.
- An initial maximum power boost occurs for four to six minutes immediately after plugging in to charge.
- Once a state of charge is above approximately 70%, power decreases for a thermal event. The battery's charging rate drops slightly, components appear to be too hot, and then the charging powers will increase a bit.
- On average at 90 kilowatts from 20% to 80%.
- Total charge time for 0% to 90% is an hour and seven minutes.
- For each minute of charging, about 3.68 miles of EPA mileage are added. With the highway range test, 3.42 minutes for each mile of charge from 0 to 80% are added.
- The standard-range Pro is not a charge monster, or at the head of its class when fast charging.
- The Lightning, and all versions of the Lightning, has a default setting in the charge settings to only charge to 90% when on a DC fast charger. To change this setting, go into the charge settings and hit the tab for a one-time max charge limit. Change to 100% and save the setting.
- The charging session from 0% to 90% cost approximately $28.21 versus a home charge at a cost of $13.70.
