Owner Review

Fun, Fast, Going Strong

We've put about 1950 miles on the truck in the 2 weeks we've had it. Mainly on one long trip with multiple DCFC stops. Fits our family if 5 very well and the frunk handled all our clothes and more fragile gear well. Wish we would have gotten the tonneau cover from the factory but there are a ton of options available from 3rd parties. Highway manners were great, city driving as well for what it is (a big pickup). Blue Cruise works amazingly well for hands free driving on the highway.

It has the aerodynamic properties of a brick so highway range going over 70mph is rough. Roughly a 20% hit when you maintain 75mph. Drop it to 65 and you do significantly better. I still feel it is acceptable given charging is pretty easy on highways around us. City consumption is way better! Regen works very well also.

Which battery size (kWh) do you have? How many miles can your F150 get on a single charge in the city and on the highway?

Extended Range (131kw)

The big battery. My highway range for our trip was 250-270 but it was at 75mph majority of the time and as soon as I took it down to 65 my mi/kwh would show good improvement. Around town is still pretty up in the air as we really haven't done enough city driving to get a good average. From what I've seen folks are seeing over the 320 EPA range with real mixed driving.
