OK, saw the ad on television for the Electric F-150, not really impressed. 300 mile average distance traveled on a charge, then charge overnight and ready for another 300 miles. I live in Central Ar...

Wah, wah, wah… the Lightning is not designed for me. So what? Buy something else! I’m 6’-5” snd 260#. How many vehicles do you think I’d like but don’t fit in?
I’m watching the Lightning close. I have a reservation on one. I drive 150 miles a day. I’d charge with the 80A charger every night. At the miles I drive a year, I calculate saving over $325 a month in fuel a month, and I’m comparing it to my 3.0L Powerstroke I currently average 26+mpg average.
We average 150 to 200 miles away for camping, so I nay need to make some adjustments. But Ford appears to have underestimated the mileage as some say the extended range battery gets in excess of 460 miles. In addition, Ford supposedly estimated 300 miles with 1,000 pounds of cargo in the bed. Even if it’s a fraction of that, it still fits 90% of today’s weekend warrior truck users. I’m the exception at 800+ miles a week. If it fits your lifestyle, the Lightning will be a game changer as it is a real truck for real truck users, not like the Melon Tusk Blubber Wagon.
