ALMOST STRANDED BY MY TRUCK! - NORTH CAROLINA TO MAINE IN F150 LIGHTNING - PART 2

EV Channels Review

This installment of the F-150 Lightning road trip from Pennsylvania to New York is fraught with charging drama and unexpected vehicle faults. The reviewer experienced significant issues with the F-150 Lightning's powertrain, including cruise control and accelerator pedal failures, requiring a code scan and reset. Charging experiences were also highly variable, ranging from a positive free hotel charge to frustratingly slow and faulting sessions at a new Tesla V4 Supercharger site. The reviewer highlights the high cost of some public charging stations ($0.66/kWh) compared to others ($0.37/kWh) and criticizes the poor user experience at the Latham, NY Supercharger, which suffered from low current limits and faulted stalls. Despite these challenges, the reviewer also visited a new IONNA/ChargePoint site and spent time at Tom Moloughney's extensive charging setup. The video concludes with the reviewer arriving at a hotel, only to find all chargers occupied by non-EVs or plug-in hybrids, underscoring the ongoing challenges in public EV infrastructure.
