This episode of TechCharged dives into the 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning lineup and the new Tesla V4 Supercharger. The discussion highlights the replacement of the XLT trim with the new STX, which brings aesthetic and functional updates like decals, cloth seats, and optional features such as phone-as-key and a keypad. While the Pro trim now offers an 80-amp onboard charger and is available for retail purchase, the removal of BlueCruise on lower trims (Pro and STX) is noted. The V4 Supercharger's potential to revolutionize charging times and boost EV adoption is also explored, though its current non-Tesla compatibility is a limitation. The hosts express a desire for larger battery packs and discuss the ongoing creative strategies by manufacturers to extend EV incentives.
