Seeing the same results. Averaging around 200 miles per charge 1.5 mile per KWH. My target charge level telling me 206 miles at 100%. What’s wrong?
F-150 Lightning Platinum Range
My platinum lightning is only getting an estimated range of 240 miles. I have had my truck for about 6 weeks with just under 3,000 miles. 90% of my driving is on the interstate and I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this type of range.
I contacted ford customer service and they say that the truck is learning and the estimates are pretty conservative. Since they market that the platinum with a range of 300 it seemed strange that I am seeing a 20% reduction.
Thanks!

I have driven about 1200 miles so far. All highway miles between 75 and 79 mph. Thanks for your response.How many miles have you driven the truck? How fast are you driving?
1.5 mi/kWh *131 kWh advertised useable battery capacity = 196.5 miles
Very disappointing that Ford advertises 300+ miles on the extended battery. I’m still getting maybe 200 miles on a full charge. Disappointment disappointment disappointment. Really curious what other people are seeing. My wife has an Audi EV and she’s getting pretty much the advertise mileage. Not sure where Ford’s coming up with these numbers but someone needs to take a series look at it.My platinum lightning is only getting an estimated range of 240 miles.

In my old Ford F150 not much difference in mileage per gallon at 70 versus 79.Speed will kill range, same happens in a regular gas car…
the EPA tests are performed at like 55mph?!
Who drive 68 miles an hour?Unfortunately, my Post #6 above applies. If you get back to Level 2 charging and have the dwell time after each drive, "Charge More" is probably the answer. Road trips, same answer, but more incentive to slow down to the 68 mph sweet spot a cross-country poster here experienced.
Who in the world would drive 55 miles an hour on the interstate. That’s 15 miles an hour under the speed limit in my state. You will get pulled over for that.Speed will kill range, same happens in a regular gas car…
