F150 Lightning 156 mile daily interstate commute - real world test

Is the F150 Lightning a good EV for long daily commutes? In this video, I show the cost of my 156 mile daily commute - based on charging at home at $0.17 per kW. I also show the average miles per kilowatt hour that I get driving at the speed limit on the interstate (70 MPH) in most cases. I had been curious if I would stay above 2.0 M/kWH - so this drive tests that. We talk about the ride quality of the truck, the B&O sound system, and my first impressions driving this truck for the commute to work. #fordlightning #f150lightning #fordf150 #purplecollarlife #dailydriver #longcommute
