From what I have read it gets 80 miles under load. Then you recharge it for many hours. So useless.

Ford also engineered the F-150 Lightning to serve as a backup generator and says a fully-charged truck can supply up to three days of electricity for the average household in the event of a power outage.

Power outages caused by the politicians like in California and Texas.

Which means that it gets less than 30miles in below zero temps. This is because of reduced battery efficiency and having to run electric heat and defrosters. Did I mention that when the battery goes dead then you have no heat. And the range drops off with age.

Oh...Many of these electric vehicles have battery heaters. You have to keep them plugged in while they are sitting idle in your driveway or garage. This means they are spinning your electric meter even when they are supposedly charged up. And they are burning battery power sitting in the parking lot while you are buying your groceries. And it must be fun always having to plug them in outside during bad weather. I mean not everyone has a garage.

And the battery pack weighs almost a Ton. You are pulling that around with you everywhere you go. If you are in a hilly area then there goes that range. The laws of physics say you are not going to hall that ton around with you for free. Picture driving your gas truck around with the bed full of bricks. The list of problems with EV’s is huge.
