Do You Get Free Charging With Ford Lightning Post

There are tons of reasons to choose the Ford F-150 Lightning, the best all-electric pickup on the market. From exceptional frunk space to stylish good looks, the Lightning has plenty going for it. Now, Ford’s sweetening the deal even further by offering an extra incentive for buyers—250 kilowatts of free charging at Electrify America charging stations. Here’s what you need to know about this generous offer, as well as other incentives that make the F-150 Lightning a very smart buy.

Ford’s Partnered With Electrify America to Offer Complimentary Charging

Through the FordPass Rewards program, Ford F-150 Lightning Customers receive 250 kilowatt-hours of free charging at Electrify America stations across the country. That means Lightning owners get the equivalent of 575 miles of range, nearly three full charges for trucks equipped with the standard-range battery, completely free of charge.

Electrify America chargers are some of the best in the industry. For F-150 Lightnings, the company’s chargers add around 54 miles of range in just 10 minutes. For models with the extended-range battery, the chargers can take the battery from a 15% state of charge to 80% in just around 40 minutes.

What Makes the Lightning the Best Electric Pickup?

Ford’s generous FordPass Rewards program is one small part of what makes the F-150 Lightning such a great buy. While the electric pickup is still a relatively new segment, it’s growing at a rapid pace. Here’s what sets the Lightning apart from other models in its class:

  • The Latest Technology. Electric vehicles are technological marvels in their own right, and Ford’s included plenty of features in the Lightning that make it one of the most high-tech models in the Blue Oval’s lineup. Standard tech features include the Mega Power Frunk with two USB ports and four 120-volt power outlets; a standard 12-inch touchscreen; and so much more.
  • Safety Features. Each Lightning comes standard with Ford’s innovative CoPilot360 2.0 suite of driver assistance technologies. You get a whole host of useful safety features like automatic emergency braking; blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alert; lane-keeping assist and more.
  • Towing and Payload Capacity. Ford built the F-150 Lightning to be a true workhorse, and its towing and payload capacity prove it. Models with the Extended-Range battery have a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, while trucks equipped with the Standard-Range battery can haul up to 7,700 pounds. For Extended-Range models, payload capacity is as high as 2,000 pounds. It’s clear that the Lightning can help you tackle even the toughest jobs with ease, proving that an all-electric vehicle can be just as capable as its gasoline-fueled counterparts.
