Camping in an EV.... Always charging...
So here is the start of the FLT driving from Sacramento to Ak in their electric F150 Lighting. Just a few observations from me: #1. To put a "canopy" on a truck and calling it a camper is a joke...

Some rudimentary math:
He drove 1,100 miles and averaged 1.8 miles/kwh; so 611 kwh of energy used.
The one charging event he showed took 37 minutes for 60 kwh of energy or 1.62 kwh/minute
This translates to 377 minutes of charge time, or 6 hours, 17 minutes for a 1,100 mile trip. Not including the drive time to get to the multiple charging stations.
His aerodynamics might have been better served if unstrapped the shovel from the side of the camper. I really didn't think the thousand pounds of weight add was out of line. There is a part of me that wants to own that truck, but not for long trips. It was a nice video to show off the Northwest.
