HYPERCHARGERS & SUPERCHARGERS! FULLY LOADED F-150 LIGHTNING ROAD TRIP DOWN THE EAST COAST

EV Channels Review

This video documents a significant day-one push of an East Coast road trip in a fully loaded 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range, covering over 684 miles. The reviewer highlights a mix of charging experiences, from Tesla Superchargers (utilizing an adapter) to Mercedes/Alpitronic, Applegreen Electric, and BP Pulse stations. While the truck performed adequately, averaging around 2 miles per kWh with a full load, the charging infrastructure presented a mixed bag. The reviewer noted issues with amenities at some Tesla Supercharger locations (lack of trash cans, poor restroom access) and a broken cable at an Applegreen site. Conversely, the Mercedes/Alpitronic site in Connecticut offered good amenities and displayed charging data clearly. The BP Pulse site in Maryland provided strong charging speeds. The video also touches on routing decisions using Apple Maps and A Better Routeplanner (ABRP), and concludes with an overnight stay at a hotel with paid Tesla destination charging.
