Popular YouTuber Not Pleased With Ford F-150 Lightning Winter Range via insideevs.com
and finished up the tests with consumption rates of 2.2 mi/kWh and 2.1 mi/kWh respectively. However, that was in warmer weather, and the Lightning, like all electric vehicles, isn't as efficient in colder temperatures so the consumption rate will go up as the temperature goes down.But I also already have considerable experience driving mine in colder weather and have been driving it with temperatures in the 20s and 30s for the past month or two.
I have a pretty heavy right foot, so I'm not sure how my last 189 miles of driving, with 7 or 8 30-minute cabin preheating sessions, consumed 33% less energy per mile than Hoover's 64-mile journey in the video. Averaging 1.6 mi/kWh compared to 1.2 mi/kWh would make a huge difference in a standard-range Lightning; about 40 more miles per charge as a matter of fact.
All electric vehicles suffer from range loss in the colder months, that's inevitable. But there are many things owners can do to mitigate the cold weather effects. Hoover's nearly 50% range loss is possible, but the conditions need to be extreme for that to happen, and that didn't seem to be the case in the video. I'm going to be doing a cold weather range test soon with my Lightning, so keep an eye out for that upcoming article.
Pre-conditioning your EV before traveling long distances in winter or even daily trips enables pre-heating of the high voltage battery to an optimal temperature using charger energy, saving battery energy for the road. This has a positive impact on range. -Dapo Adewusi, F-150 Lightning Engineering Managerin the winter and preconditioning any electric vehicle in the winter is basic EV 101.
