LOAD UP A FORD F-150 LIGHTNING AND SEE ITS EPA DRIVING RANGE SUFFER

We know extra loads reduce EV and gas car range, and we usually talk about towing, but what about hauling? What can you expect?

We've said time and time again that towing or hauling is going to reduce the range of your vehicle regardless of its powertrain. However, EV owners have more range anxiety, and the range reduction in many cases seems substantial. Let's take a look at how hauling a heavy load impacts the range of the Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck.

Autoblog shared some information from a new AAA study that provides more details about hauling with an EV. The insurance organization used a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning model to run tests and compile data for the study. The goal of the study was to come up with an answer to the following two questions. 

1. How does road load force for the loaded test condition compare to the unloaded condition?
2. How are driving range and efficiency affected by the added payload?
