HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO CHARGE THE FORD F-150 LIGHTNING?

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive analysis of the charging costs for the Ford F-150 Lightning, differentiating between home charging and various public charging networks. The reviewer highlights that home charging, especially with solar integration, is the most economical option, with costs varying significantly by state electricity rates. Public charging costs are presented as more complex, with significant price differences between networks like Electrify America, EVgo, and Blink, and also depending on charging by the kilowatt-hour versus by the minute. The reviewer strongly advises using apps to check pricing before charging on public networks and recommends unplugging at 80% when using per-minute charging to avoid excessive costs. Ultimately, the video concludes that even with public charging, the F-150 Lightning is substantially cheaper to operate over 100,000 miles compared to its gasoline counterparts, the F-150 Hybrid and the Raptor, saving owners thousands of dollars in refueling costs.
