Man Plugs Electric Ford Lightning Into House, Gets Only 36 Miles of Range in 16 Hours of Charging

Tim Esterdahl of the popular “Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk” website and podcast obviously has mixed feelings about electric vehicles, as he demonstrated once again in two recent videos about a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning he got on loan for a week.

After the first video about charging the truck, Esterdahl received so many questions and comments, he said, that he wanted to put together a second video to address some of them.

To start off, he admitted that he wasn’t exactly charging the vehicle the way Ford would suggest.

“If you recall from last night’s video,” he said, “I have the worst possible situation: I’m plugging [into] 110. And this charger allows up to 30 amps of power to go through it at 110 volts.”

Esterdahl had shown that arrangement in the previous video, and had apparently gotten a lot of complaints from people saying that wasn’t the way to get it done.

  1. Is there even a fast charger? Electric vehicles are crap. Put out to fast with no way to charge. Maybe started as a good IDEA but improper study and execution. Tesla maybe ok… they have charging stations all over. But who want to wait an hour to charge? I will never buy until I can charge in 5 minutes for 300 miles.

  2. 4:39 I think you missed the boat……I’m fairly competent the article is more focused on power (amps) then they are speed.
