All models are equipped with two engines, one at the front and one at the rear, installed directly to the wheels. Depending on the battery, the electric F-150 will be characterized by a different AC charger (therefore a solution to be used to make “full” at home). Those with the standard battery will have a 11.3 kW single charger, while the models with the Long Range battery will have a double charger with a power up to 19.2 kW. The F-150 Lightning with the standard battery pack will be offered with an optional 48A charger, capable of loading the battery from 15 to 100% in about 10 hours. The models equipped with the Long Range battery can connect to an 80A domestic charger and restore from 15 to 100% of the energy in about 8 hours. Using a 150kw DC public column, the F-1550 Lightning takes 41 minutes to load from 15 to 80%. The F-150 is the first vehicle of the F series to be equipped with an independent rear suspension, a change that reduces the mass not suspended and should therefore improve handling and comfort.

The front and rear ends are dominated by LED headlights and lights connected by a light bar that extends to a full length. The grid will be available with three different designs. “Our customers told us that they wanted something modern and advanced, but they didn’t want their pick-up to seem like a stop or astronave,” said Jasen Turnbull, Marketing Manager of the Ford F-150 Lightning. “We made sure that the F-1550 Lightning remained faithful to the DNA of the Ford trucks.”
