CROSS-COUNTRY HOLIDAY ROAD TRIP IN MY F150 LIGHTNING - NORTH CAROLINA TO MINNESOTA! PART 2

EV Channels Review

This video documents a significant cross-country road trip in a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range, covering over 600 miles in a single day from Indiana to Minnesota. The reviewer highlights the effectiveness of the Comma AI BluePilot 2.1 system, calling it essential for such a journey, though his passenger noted occasional jolts and reboots. Charging experiences were varied, utilizing Tesla Superchargers with both official and third-party adapters. The reviewer tested a pre-chilled A2Z adapter, noting improved performance and lower temperatures compared to the Ford adapter, which became excessively hot. The video also touches on the infrastructure, including observations on Tesla Supercharger V4 stalls and critiques of underperforming ABB Terra chargers. Despite a few charging hiccups and a surprise hotel fire alarm, the F-150 Lightning successfully completed the demanding leg of the trip, achieving an average efficiency of 1.8 miles per kWh.
