The design differences of the new Lightning over a standard F-150 with an ICE powertrain are small but make a big enough impression to quickly identify it. “Our Customers Didn’t Want Their Truck To Look Like A Doorstop” The automaker adds that the battery packs are designed for the whole life of the vehicle. Ford wanted to make sure that the F-150 Lightning’s battery will be able to cope in tough driving conditions, including towing heavy trailers and off-roading. The battery packs were designed specifically for use in the F-150 Lightning, featuring beefed-up cooling systems and multiple components. The electric truck also features up to 11 outlets in the bed, cabin, and frunk, to power everything, from TVs and speakers to electric dirt bikes, circular saws, and jackhammers.

Trucks with the standard range battery will get an 11.3 kW single charger, while models with the extended range battery will get a dual charger with up to 19.2 kW, designed to offer the fastest possible charging times to the limits of the SAE charging standards. Ford says that the latter is the biggest battery pack they’ve ever offered, without revealing either unit’s exact capacity.ĭepending on which battery pack you go for, the electric F-150 will feature a different onboard AC charger.
