Ford F-150 Lightning range, efficiency revealed in Monroni sticker leak

The Ford F-150 Lightning range and efficiency ratings for the base and extended range have been revealed via Monroni sticker leak.

Received and shared by members of F150Gen14 Forums, the F-150 Lightning Base and Extended Range models show EPA-estimated range ratings of 230 and 300 miles, respectively. While Ford has yet to begin deliveries of the all-electric version of the United States best-selling pickup, the company opened an order bank to customers in January. Delivery is expected to begin in the spring.

According to Monroni Stickers, the two vehicle trims assign the following range of efficiency ratings:

Ford F-150 Lightning – Base – Pro Series – MSRP $41,669

  • Range: 230 miles
  • 68 mpg
  • 76 MPGE City
  • 61 mpg highway
  • 49 kWh per 100 miles driven

Ford F-150 Lightning – Extended Range – Platinum Series – MSRP $93,874

  • Range: 300 miles
  • 66 mpge
  • 73 MPGE City
  • 60 mpeg highway
  • 51 kWh per 100 miles driven

The two stickers were checked by a Ford sales representative, who confirmed Teslarati Monroni tags were valid.

Interestingly, Ford has yet to obtain a certificate of conformity for the vehicles, which would allow them to enter the stream of commerce. Many trims are also not yet available on FuelEconomy.gov. What’s clear, though, is that the EPA has assessed the efficiency of Ford’s first all-electric pickup.

Compared to Rivian’s R1T, the base trim of the F-150 Lightning is about 2 percent less efficient in terms of kWh per 100 miles. The R1T uses 48 kWh per 100 miles, the F-150 Lightning uses 49 kWh. It only delivers two miles less combined MPG, making it about 3 percent less efficient in this range. It’s about 8 percent less efficient on the highway, offering 61 mpg, while the R1T offers 68 mpg. The F-150 Lightning is more efficient with city driving, however, about 3 percent more efficient than Rivian’s pickups.

Ford recently doubled its production target for the F-150 Lightning, aiming to manufacture at least 150,000 units annually. In early March, Ford announced that it had split its business into two “divisions.” Ford’s Model E unit will handle the company’s transition to electrification, while all combustion engine operations will fall under another division, known as “Ford Blue”.

Tesla Model Y welcomed by Kansas PD, expected to give cost savings – Elon Musk - Elon Musk

In a recent press release, the Leawood Police Department in Kansas announced that it had acquired a Tesla Model Y Long Range for its fleet. The vehicle would be used as one of the Leawood PD’s patrol cars. The Model Y has already been painted in the Leawood PD’s black and white colors. The department noted that they started looking into the idea of an all-electric patrol car last year after seeing dismal reviews of available hybrid patrol cars. Captain Kirt Yoder, the agency’s project manager, noted that Tesla Kansas had been quite helpful. “I ended up contacting about ten agencies from New York to California. Tesla-Kansas City was great. They were eager to help and answer all our questions,” he said. Apart from being a green vehicle, the Model Y is also expected to give the Leawood Police Department substantial cost savings. Over a year ago, a cost comparison already showed that the department’s Ford Explorer patrol SUV would cost about $4,500 per year to run. That was a time w...

Tesla’s mass layoffs reached the Autopilot team in San Mateo. Autopilot workers have started posting the news on LinkedIn.  People familiar with the matter told  Bloomberg  that Tesla laid off about 200 Autopilot workers from its San Mateo office.

Sen. Joe Manchin blasts EV tax credit expansion, calls for hydrogen development

West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin blasted a potential expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit on Thursday, while also calling for the development of the hydrogen sector to decarbonize the transportation industry. Manchin, who called a Biden administration proposal to broaden the EV tax credit program “ludicrous,” said the waiting period for EVs right now is already so long that there is no point to offering more money to incentivize consumers to buy a battery-powered car. “There is a waiting list for EVs right now, with the fuel prices, but they still want us to throw a $5,000, or $7,000 or $12,000 credit for us to buy electric vehicles,” said during a Thursday Senate budget hearing. Manchin added that production volumes of EVs are far away from fulfilling current demand levels, so it would be ridiculous to offer additional funding to the programs. It is evident that EVs are becoming more popular, and with automakers in nearly all situations relating to EVs still workin...
