2024 Ford Lightning Flash 312A
Well I had a nice break in trip with my new Lightning Flash. Nothing crazy just a 330 mile trip. I made sure to do plenty of planning for charging stations. I planned for contingency charging stations as well. which was helpful as I did have to use one due to the fact that the ford navigation had me charging at a stop when I would have less than 20 miles of range. I was not comfortable with that. I mostly used Electrify America stops and 1 Tesla super charger. A big lesson learned was in Philadelphia, lots of charging stations but wow they are always full and have long lines of EV’s waiting their turn. On my way home today I averaged 1.5/kwh due to the outside temps (20 degrees) and I was going 75mph the entire way. Overall it was a great experience and I have no hesitation taking long trips in my truck. Next test will be towing my travel trailer Memorial Day weekend. Hoping to get 1.0/kwh while towing.

You should have a good experience, planning around 1.0 MPK while towing.
