I just wanted to check if anyone else is consistently getting 325 miles of range or more on their F-150 Ligntning on a full battery charge?

Too cold up here, and I’m still learning how to drive an EV. But what fun!

Is there a way to keep it in sport mode or your saying you just change it everytime?

I keep drive mode up and select it on most drives.

I am consistently getting 325 miles of range on a full battery charge here in North Carolina.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, You mean the LIE-O-METER!!!!

Yes, all trucks having the DTE-MIL update will tell you this, but you're not going 325 miles on that 100% charge of 131KW unless you are a very astute hyper-miler

I'm in Charlotte (we've had warmer weather) and on my 20.8 commute to work I average 2.8m/kWh with a standard range which would put me at 274ish on a standard range battery. It's hard not to rip it everyday but I have some sick satisfaction getting it above at least 2.7 lol

Yeah, it was the first morning I saw 240's for my range. Normally under 230 and drops quickly once underway. I usually avg around the 2.1 to 2.3m/kWh but yesterday when I drove home it was 3.

How are you enjoying your Lightning? Can you believe how smooth and quiet it is? I keep looking forward to every chance I get to pass someone and laugh at how they must be shocked to see this truck pass them like a rocket.

The Lightning is amazing I'm loving everything about it. I only charge to 90% when I do charge but it's been saying 215 mile at 90%(guess-o-meter) when I unplug. I now don't mind highway traffic I try to hyper mile the hell out of it.... You using one pedal drive? I exclusively use 1pd now

Yeah we've been driving a Tesla model Y for a while and I swear by one pedal driving.

I've driven Volkswagen turbo diesels most of my adult life and used to love hypermiling them. Every trip was a competition to see if I could get more MPG. It can be a lot of fun.

I went to the Chicago Auto Show today and overheard a bunch of people in line to ride the Lightning for the 0-60 pull and they went from talking down about Lightning and the "downfalls" of an EV to full on smiles and laughter after getting out of it wishing they had one. This is my first EV and I felt dirty putting gas in my rental car like I cheated on my lightning

We've had a Tesla Model S for a little over a year -- it never gets the "projected" mileage, but under some conditions it comes close.

As far as I know, it does not report mileage per kWh -- based on comments here, I'm guessing that is something the lightning routinely reports? (I don't pick mine up until next Tuesday)

And, yes I'm immediately switching to one pedal drive mode!

This morning DTE shows 328 miles...

 

[TheBigBezo]

Mine shows 277 at 90% so roughly 302 full? I live in a relatively warm area though we did just get a cold front to bring us down to the 50s.

308

Remember there is a thermal factor which impacts the miles to empty, though since MIL-DTE it's less radically variable.
