Power
The 2022 F-150 Lightning offers an all-electric driving range of 230-300 miles per charge depending on trim level. The standard range level is equipped with 2 electric motors that produce 426 horsepower and the extended range can produce up to 563 hp. Both offer about 775 lbs-ft of torque. If you ever find yourself too far from the next charging station and running low on charge, a removable range extender motor is an optional add-on. At home, the Lightning uses a 32 amp charger that can be powered by a traditional 120-volt or 240-volt outlet with the option to upgrade to an 80 amp Charge Station Pro that charges in 8 hours instead of 20. Additionally, with its bi-directional power, the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning can act as a generator to power the average house for up to 3 days in the case of an outage. Or be the power tool generator you need on the go.
