Electric Ford F-150 Lightning may go much farther than advertised 300 miles
Fox News
Ford is testing the F-150 Lightning with 1,000 pounds of payload to better determine how far it can travel between charges. The load is meant to represent how it will typically be used.
The automaker's general manager of battery electric vehicles, Darren Palmer, told Insider that the trucks being tested for range are loaded with an extra 1,000 pounds of weight to better represent how they will often be used. That's exactly half of the truck's estimated maximum payload rating and more than enough to affect its overall efficiency. A Ford truck spokeswoman told Fox News Autos that this method is not used to determine the fuel efficiency of the internal combustion engine versions of the F-150.More Related News
