Ford announced today that the F-150 Lightning pickup will come with 250 kWh of complimentary charging, available through FordPass Rewards, at Electrify America ultra-fast charging stations.<\/p>\n

However, there is a catch. The benefit is available solely to Ford F-150 Lightning<\/a> retail customers. The bonus basically mirrors the one applied to the Ford Mustang Mach-E in 2020 (also 250 kWh).<\/p>\n

Ford<\/a> estimates that a 250 kWh credit is equivalent to nearly three “fill-ups” or up to 575 miles of electric driving (in the case of the standard-range battery version).<\/p>\n

It’s not a big bonus as its value is probably under $100, but it’s always nice to get something free. Especially considering that the prices increased<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We guess that the main point of the benefit for Ford and Electrify America is to convince customers to use their charging services, rather than to buy a vehicle (the queue is already very long).<\/p>\n

Electrify America network currently includes roughly 800 fast charging stations in the US, equipped with about 3,500 individual chargers “open or with construction completed”<\/em>. By 2026, those numbers are expected to significantly increase to over 1,800 stations and over 10,000 stalls.<\/p>\n

The Ford F-150 Lightning is quickly becoming the best-selling electric pickup in the world. According to the latest press release, 4,400 units have already been sold in the first few months.<\/p>\n

In terms of fast charging, the extended-range battery can replenish about 54 miles of range in 10 minutes, while recharging from 15 to 80% of state-of-charge (SOC) takes about 41 minutes. The real-world results might differ slightly, compared to the manufacturer’s data.<\/p>\n

Some other manufacturers offer 250-1,000 kWh of complimentary charging or 1, 2 or even 3 years of free charging.<\/p>\n

Here is the list of Electrify America’s DC fast charging agreements with manufacturers (as of the day of announcement – might be different now):<\/p>\n
