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...

Someone mentioned that they felt there was a chase vehicle due to driving shots. In the first installment they said they were taking a hybrid F 150 as well. They even tried charging the Lightning with it. I think they could get 7 miles of range an hour. I hope they do a segment comparing them.
7 sounds about right as I believe the truck has a 14-30 receptacle (locking). That translates to about 5.7 kw an hour so maybe 12 to 14 kilometres tops.
I haven’t see the last episode yet so I’m curious how they do it. BC hydro is 18 to 30 months away from putting in DC fast charging stations on the two corridors going to Alaska. It will be interesting to watch. We’ll be making that trip when they do. Looking forward to it. Especially the Yukon. Lots of infrastructure going in in that region in the next two years.
