I'm just messing with you. Don't be so sensitive. It's up to you why you are a Biden voter and proud of it. You can stick it to America any time you want.

I like word play.

Ford's new Electric F150 Lightning Battery Pack is so powerful it can be used to power Americans' homes during blackout: Cell is 10 times more powerful than a Tesla

Ford's new F-150 Lighting is already changing the mind of longtime pickup truck owners who thought they would never go electric.

The vehicle is the electric version of America's best-selling truck, the Ford-150.

It features an $11,000 131 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion pack battery, which is nearly ten times more powerful than a Tesla Powerwall.

Additionally, the battery can charge an average American home for up to three days, according to Ford engineers.

'That's a house like my house with AC, Xbox, kids going crazy leaving lights on everywhere,' Linda Zhang, the chief engineer of the Ford F-150 Lightning, told Bloomberg.

This makes the F-150 Lighting the first electric vehicle sold in the US with bi-directional charging, which means it has the capability to both power the vehicle and send power to a home or the grid.

All the state and federal organizations that purchase trucks will buy the hell out of these.

I’d like to know how well this thing would handle a 10 hour road trip pulling a 7000 lb RV.

It would turn it into a 30 hr trip.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

It would turn it into a 30 hr trip.

Yep, If you say a 10 hour road trip is 600 miles, then 300 miles on a charge, 14 hours to recharge x 2....average speed would be ballpark 20 mph for 600 miles. LOL

I dont think thats the target consumer for these trucks.

Yep, the target market is for the suburbanite that wants a truck for a grocery getter.

 

[Orangeburst]

What will power all these EV's, regardless of classification.

 

[VolStrom]

How will they charge these trucks in California during the rolling blackouts while they are waiting for the sun to rise or the wind to blow? Especially when they finish off their final nuke plant shortly.

 

[DC_Vol]

Well I just saw regular gas prices in my area are now 4.75.

The only question now is what will be the critical tipping point that results in demand destruction.

Going to be interesting to see what the psychology is after the national average tips $5 / gallon.

I don’t think an $11,000 battery pack is a great selling point.

What is a battery life for such?

You will not get 300 miles towing or carrying any cargo to speak of

 

[C-south]

I’m sure it would depend on a lot of variables but when an $11,0000 battery came due for a replacement it’s time to trade her in.

What happened then? I don’t remember.

 

[hog88]

I don’t think an $11,000 battery pack is a great selling point.

It’s a terrible price point since you can have a whole house generator installed for 10k and it will run as long as the NG keeps flowing. Plus it should work for decades with proper maintenance when a person will be lucky to get 6-8 years out of those batteries.

 

[hog88]

What happened then? I don’t remember.

Right after hurricane (can’t remember name) hit LA that fall fuel prices jumped to $4-5 a gallon for a month or so and that triggered the housing bubble.

Like they do with their water, they will take it from other states.

That was Katrina in 05, no?
