HOW FAST WILL THE FORD F-150 LIGHTNING CHARGE?

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Ford F-150 Lightning's DC fast charging capabilities, utilizing exclusive data provided by Ford. The reviewer tested a charge from 61% to 90% state of charge, adding 29% in 30 minutes and dispensing 41.2 kWh. While the initial charging rate peaked at 142 kW, it quickly settled around 117-121 kW until 80% state of charge, after which it dropped significantly to 59 kW and then 30 kW by 90%. The reviewer emphasizes that most owners will charge at home, but for long-distance travel, a 0-90% charge is estimated to take around 1 hour and 7 minutes. While Ford's data suggests a 15-80% charge in 41 minutes (averaging 138 kW), the reviewer believes Ford can improve the 0-90% time by about 15 minutes to make it more competitive for towing and hauling needs. The reviewer is generally satisfied with the current performance, noting it's workable, but anticipates future over-the-air updates to further enhance charging speeds.
