Hi All,
I have downloaded the eSource Book for F150 Lightning. you can get it from here:
https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/f-150-lightning-esourcebook-–-146-pages-of-info.8462/
I was interested to read about the battery life during the Canadian winter. I was shocked!! .. I have put some highlights in the attached picture for your reference.
Here are my findings:
1) Ford is expecting us to keep the truck plugged when temperature is below 10 Degrees Celsius (or 50 F.. so basically ALL winter!!) to keep the advanced liquid heat system running to maintain the battery. So during the entire winter, the truck will be using electricity to keep the heat system running..!!! every single day for about 5 months!! I don't even want to discuss summer since the cooling system will need the same..
2) Ford is recommending storing the truck in the garage to maintain the battery and not to keep it in extreme temperatures ... seriously!!! in Canada!!!... Hello, the whole Winter season in Canada is already extreme!!!... and BTW, How many people have a garage to fit an F150 truck in it?!!!!
I'm extremely disappointed in this.. it's like Ford did not really think it through!!
For me .. this is a showstopper.. most probably I will drop my reservation..
your thoughts?
