F-150 Lightning Extended Range
Maximum range for the electric truck. Here's what its onboard charger actually needs from your home's electrical panel.
Home (Level 2) charging facts
Pulled straight from the F-150 Lightning Extended Range's onboard charger rating - not a generic EV number.
- Onboard charger draw
- 19.2 kW
- ~80A at 240V (kW × 1000 ÷ 240)
- Empty-to-full at max Level 2
- 6.8 hrs
- 131 kWh battery ÷ 19.2 kW
- Range added per hour
- ~40 mi/hr
- 19.2 kW × 2.1 mi/kWh efficiency
- DC fast charging
- 150 kW max
- Public chargers only - tapers as the battery fills
Typical full-speed install
80A charger on a 100A circuit
Reaches this car's 19.2 kW ceiling. Whether your panel has room for that circuit depends on everything else already on it - that's the actual assessment.
Connector
NACS
NACS (North American Charging Standard, originally Tesla's plug) is now the connector most new EVs are shipping with for both home Level 2 and public DC fast charging.
On the F-150 Lightning Extended Range specifically, that connector carries up to 19.2 kW at home on Level 2 and up to 150 kW on public DC fast hardware.
Charging speed by circuit size
None of these common home circuit sizes reach this car's 19.2 kW onboard ceiling - it can use every amp up to 48A.
| Charger setting | This car actually draws | Range added / hour | 8-hr overnight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16A | 3.8 kW | ~8 mi | ~64 mi |
| 24A | 5.8 kW | ~12 mi | ~96 mi |
| 32A | 7.7 kW | ~16 mi | ~128 mi |
| 40A | 9.6 kW | ~20 mi | ~160 mi |
| 48A | 11.5 kW | ~24 mi | ~192 mi |
Overnight, at full onboard speed
320 mi / 8 hrs
400 mi across a 10-hour window, at 19.2 kW.
Approximate cost to fill from empty
$17.03
Assumes $0.13/kWh (a national-average estimate, not your local rate) × 131 kWh - about $0.062/mile.
Ford F-150 Lightning charging questions
How long does it take to charge a 2022–2026 Ford F-150 Lightning Extended Range on a Level 2 charger?
About 6.8 hours from empty to full at its 19.2 kW onboard-charger ceiling (131 kWh battery ÷ 19.2 kW).
Times scale with amperage - see the circuit-size table above for other settings.
What amperage does a Ford F-150 Lightning draw on Level 2?
At its full 19.2 kW rate, the Ford F-150 Lightning draws about 80A at 240V (kW × 1000 ÷ 240 = amps).
Can a Ford F-150 Lightning use a 48-amp charger?
Yes, and it'll use the full 48A. A 48A charger delivers ~11.5 kW, which is at or under this car's 19.2 kW ceiling - about 24 mi of range per hour.
How much range does a Ford F-150 Lightning add per hour on a Level 2 charger?
About 40 miles of range per hour at its 19.2 kW ceiling (19.2 kW × 2.1 mi/kWh efficiency).
How much range does an 8-hour overnight charge add to a Ford F-150 Lightning?
Roughly 320 miles from an 8-hour overnight charge (40 mi/hr × 8 hours), or about 400 miles across a 10-hour window.
What's the DC fast charging ceiling for a Ford F-150 Lightning?
Up to 150 kW on a public DC fast charger - well above its 19.2 kW Level 2 (home) ceiling, though DC fast rates taper as the battery fills.
