Ford F-150 Lightning Extended Range

The 131 kWh usable pack is one of the largest here, but Ford holds back 19 kWh of the 150 kWh gross — a 12.7 per cent reserve, far deeper than the 4 to 5 per cent typical elsewhere, and a durability choice worth knowing about before comparing brochure capacities. Charging is 400-volt and unhurried: 49 minutes from 10 to 80 per cent, 112 kW average.

5.3/10How this is calculated

By , editorUpdated How we work out these numbers

The EPA rates the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning with the extended-range battery at 320 miles combined and 47.9 kWh per 100 miles measured at the wall, which is 70 MPGe. City and highway split 340 and 298 miles.

Ford’s own technical specification sheet puts the extended-range pack at 131 kWh of usable energy. Against a gross capacity of 150 kWh that is a 19 kWh reserve — about 12.7 per cent, two to three times the buffer most cars in this database keep back. A large reserve is a deliberate durability choice on a vehicle that will be asked to tow and to sit at high state of charge on a work site; it also means the number on the brochure and the number you can actually drive on are further apart here than almost anywhere else. Cells are NMC pouch, liquid cooled. At 131 kWh usable over 320 EPA miles the truck takes 40.9 kWh per 100 miles from the battery against 47.9 kWh at the wall, so about 15 per cent is lost in charging.

Ford rates DC charging at 150 kW and above and publishes 38 minutes from 15 to 80 per cent — note the window: Ford measures from 15 per cent, while every comparison on this site is drawn 10 to 80 per cent, which for this truck is 49 minutes. That is 91.7 kWh moved at an average of about 112 kW, or roughly 224 miles added in 49 minutes. The onboard AC charger takes 11.3 kW in and delivers 10.5 kW to the pack; fleet buyers can option 19.2 kW.

Prices are sourced separately per market. A US price and a European price are two different market prices, not one price at an exchange rate, so this site never converts between them.

Projected battery capacity

Projected straight-line from 2.7% a year — the published rate for this vehicle class, not a measurement of this car. Nobody releases per-model degradation data: the one fleet dataset large enough to matter anonymises the models. Capacity loss is driven as much by calendar age as by mileage, which is why it is reported per year rather than per kilometre. Real packs vary with climate, how long the car sits at a high state of charge, and how much of its charging is done at high-power DC.
