![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With several all-new EV pickup trucks with towing capability hitting the market in the past year, Electrify America is working to further expand the number of stations that allow for pull-through trailering. "Electrify America has approximately 100 charging stations with pull-through charging which can allow for trailers. So-called "pull-through" sites are steadily being added along busy corridors.Įlectrify America, one of the nation's largest providers of third-party charging stations, said in a statement: Normally, the truck travels 2.8 miles per kWh towing the horse trailer reduced the range to 1.4 miles per kWh.Ĭharging the electric trucks while hitched to a load remains a challenge since most charging stations are designed for passenger vehicles. Towing a 5,200-pound fully loaded horse trailer, reduced the Lightning's range by 50%. Gary Ashford, manager at Bear Creek Stables located in the Santa Cruz mountains, assisted KPIX 5 in testing the truck's towing capacity, listed at 10,000 pounds. The company did not have a demonstration available at the time of publication. According to tests by KPIX 5, the truck successfully powered a variety of devices including an arc welder, grinder, vacuum cleaner, pressure cooker, blender, toaster, and induction stove.įord claims the Lightning can power a single-family home for up to 3 to 4 days, using a specially installed $1500 inverter, that draws electricity from the truck and diverts it back into the home. Ford has placed 120V outlets throughout, including a 240V 40A in the rear cargo area. The truck's 131kWh battery with 300 mile range, has been marketed as an alternate, backup power source. Most notably, 0-60mph clocked in at 4.3 seconds. To activate, go to a recent weeklong test drive, KPIX 5 tested the Lightning's performance and features.
