OUR FORD F-150 LIGHTNING OVERHEATED WHILE TOWING - THEN WE HIT THIS!

EV Channels Review

The Ford F-150 Lightning experienced significant challenges during a towing trip, notably overheating and subsequent power restrictions attributed to battery cell balancing and cooling. Despite these issues, the truck managed to complete its journey, albeit with reduced performance, likened to an internal combustion engine F-150. The reviewer highlights the impact of higher speeds and towing on energy efficiency, averaging a poor 1.4 miles per kilowatt-hour over 500 miles on day two. The video also touches on the unreliability of Electrify America charging stations, with multiple stations being offline or experiencing issues. Despite the setbacks, the reviewer expresses continued impressment with the truck's capabilities, particularly its 110-volt power outlet used for cooking, and anticipates a full battery charge and cooler temperatures for the final leg of the journey.
