BEHIND THE SCENES PREP FOR THE 1,000 MILE FORD F-150 LIGHTNING RACE TO FLORIDA: TESLA VS CCS!

EV Channels Review

This video details the behind-the-scenes preparation for a 1,000-mile race from New Jersey to Florida, pitting a Ford F-150 Lightning using the new NACS to CCS adapter on Tesla Superchargers against another F-150 Lightning exclusively using the CCS network. The reviewer highlights the logistical challenges and potential advantages of each charging method. Key points include the F-150 Lightning's charging curve, which offers a significant boost regardless of state of charge, and the practical issues encountered, such as Tesla Supercharger availability and the physical placement of charging ports on the F-150 Lightning, which can prevent charging even if a stall is available. The video also features a sponsored segment showcasing the Fanttik X9 Ultra tire inflator, emphasizing its suitability for trucks and its power bank capabilities. Ultimately, the race aims to determine if the CCS network can outperform Tesla's, with the outcome hinging on charger accessibility and location rather than the vehicles' charging speeds.
