Performance
The Ford F150 Lightning Extended Range packs an impressive punch with a maximum power of 433 kW (589 hp / 581 bhp) and a commanding total torque of 1050 Nm (775 lb-ft). This high-performance machine can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds, and it reaches a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), making it a standout in its class.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 150.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 130.0 kWh, providing a 20.0 kWh buffer (13.3%) for battery protection. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimated range varies between 320 to 300 miles (515-483 km), depending on the vehicle’s configuration and options. For instance, larger wheels can increase energy consumption and reduce the overall range. The energy consumption rates are 2.5 mi/kWh for the base model and 2.3 mi/kWh for the top-tier version, according to the EPA standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 155 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 132 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 50 minutes with an average charging speed of 110 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 0% to 61%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 104 kW, with each charging session taking about 46 minutes and 42 seconds.
In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 33 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 10 hours and 16 minutes. This journey would require two charging stops from 0% to 77%, with a total charging time of 116 minutes.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 19.2 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 6 hours and 46 minutes using a home charging setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is conveniently located on the right front side, facilitating easy access at charging stations where you park parallel to the charger. Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The Ford F150 Lightning Extended Range features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
Suspension
The front suspension employs a double wishbone design, while the rear uses a Multilink setup. The standard suspension includes steel springs and hydraulic dampers. The suspension has a fixed height and damping. The ground clearance with this suspension is 226 mm.
Brakes
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving. You can choose between two stopping modes for one-pedal driving. Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes, and Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally.
