[QUOTE="Tezz500, post: 16836687, member: 78589"] Well noooo shit. [ATTACH=full]1767068[/ATTACH] The Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck's "kryptonite" is a road trip, according to the Detroit News review of the vehicle. Auto critic Henry Payne explains that the electric truck got him "170 miles of range" on a trip up interstate 75 in Michigan, while its gasoline- powered counterpart gets drivers "600 miles and 22 mpg." "I've got the turbo-6 cylinder. I'm getting 600 miles and 22 mpg - I don't think I'll ever get one of those electrics, " an owner of a gas-powered F-150 told Detroit News auto critic Henry Payne while he was at his third fast-charger of the day during a road trip in a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning EV tester. Payne, who was on his way to Charlevoix, Michigan, had informed the owner of the gasoline-powered vehicle that the electric truck was only getting him "about 170 miles of range on this trip up 1-75." The auto critic explained that he had charged the vehicle overnight to 100 percent, giving it a 320-mile range. He then ran a few errands the following morning, and started his road trip with 281 miles on hand. But by the time he got to Saginaw, "the Lightning was getting just 60% of estimated range and it was becoming clear to the trip computer that we would not make it to Gaylord," Payne said, adding that the "281-mile range looked more like 168 miles." The system then rerouted Payne to a charging station, but when he arrived, the only two chargers there were already occupied. So he drove to another facility that he knew had four charging stations. When he got there, unfortunately, two were occupied and the other two were being worked on by technicians. [/QUOTE]
