Ford F-150 Lightning Range: EPA Ratings by Version
F-150 Lightning range depends mostly on the battery version: standard range or extended range. This guide lists the 2025 and 2024 F-150 Lightning range, efficiency and charge-time ratings on fueleconomy.gov, the U.S. Department of Energy and EPA fuel economy site, read November 9, 2026, and explains what can change the range you actually get in northwest Indiana weather.
320 miEPA range, 2025 Lightning 4WD ER1
240 miEPA range, 2025 Lightning 4WD SR
72 MPGecombined, 2025 Lightning 4WD ER2
10.1-14.6 hEPA 240V charge time, 2025 listings
What is the range of a Ford F-150 Lightning?
Fueleconomy.gov rates the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning at 240 to 320 miles of EPA range. The 4WD ER1 and 4WD PRO ER1 have the most, 320 miles, followed by the 4WD ER2 and the Platinum 4WD at 300 and the 4WD SR at 240. EPA ratings are for comparison; your range will vary.
2025 Ford F-150 Lightning range by listing
These are all of the 2025 F-150 Lightning listings on fueleconomy.gov, with the names as fueleconomy.gov shows them. All five use a single-speed automatic (A1) and electricity only.
| fueleconomy.gov listing | EPA range* (city / hwy) | MPGe* combined | 240V charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| F-150 Lightning 4WD SR | 240 mi (264 / 210) | 68 | 11.9 hours |
| F-150 Lightning 4WD ER1 | 320 mi (350 / 283) | 70 | 14.6 hours |
| F-150 Lightning 4WD PRO ER1 | 320 mi (350 / 283) | 70 | 10.1 hours |
| F-150 Lightning 4WD ER2 | 300 mi (326 / 268) | 72 | 13.7 hours |
| F-150 Lightning Platinum 4WD | 300 mi (326 / 268) | 66 | 14.6 hours |
*EPA range is combined city and highway on a full charge, with the city and highway range in parentheses; MPGe is the combined rating. Charge time is for a fully empty battery on 240-volt service. From the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning records on fueleconomy.gov (U.S. DOE/EPA), records 48705, 48706, 48707, 48708 and 49077, read November 9, 2026.
2024 Ford F-150 Lightning range by listing
Shopping a 2024 F-150 Lightning? Fueleconomy.gov has four 2024 listings, mostly with different names from 2025. Their combined range, MPGe and charge time match the corresponding 2025 listings (4WD and 4WD SR, Extended Range and ER1, PRO Extended Range and PRO ER1, Platinum and Platinum); the city and highway range figures differ.
| fueleconomy.gov listing | EPA range* (city / hwy) | MPGe* combined | 240V charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| F-150 Lightning 4WD | 240 mi (252 / 226) | 68 | 11.9 hours |
| F-150 Lightning 4WD Extended Range | 320 mi (335 / 302) | 70 | 14.6 hours |
| F-150 Lightning PRO 4WD Extended Range | 320 mi (335 / 302) | 70 | 10.1 hours |
| F-150 Lightning Platinum 4WD | 300 mi (313 / 285) | 66 | 14.6 hours |
*Same columns as the 2025 table. From the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning records on fueleconomy.gov (U.S. DOE/EPA), records 47818, 47819, 47820 and 47821, read November 9, 2026.
How to read the F-150 Lightning ratings
Fueleconomy.gov has five F-150 Lightning listings for 2025 (4WD SR, 4WD ER1, 4WD PRO ER1, 4WD ER2 and Platinum 4WD) and four for 2024 (4WD, 4WD Extended Range, PRO 4WD Extended Range and Platinum 4WD). The PRO listings share the range of the matching extended-range listing but have the shortest EPA charge time, 10.1 hours.
On the electric label, driving range is the approximate number of miles the vehicle can travel in combined city and highway driving on a full charge, and the charge time is how long a fully empty battery takes to charge on 240-volt service. Fueleconomy.gov notes that lower voltage than the label specifies will take longer, and that the vehicle manufacturer should be able to provide complete information on charging times.
MPGe, miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent, is the number of miles the vehicle can go using a quantity of fuel with the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline. Kilowatt-hours per 100 miles relates directly to the electricity used, and so to cost. In 2025 the 4WD ER2 is the most efficient listing, 72 MPGe and 47 kWh per 100 miles; the Platinum 4WD uses the most electricity, 51 kWh per 100 miles.
As of November 9, 2026, fueleconomy.gov lists no 2026 or 2027 F-150 Lightning; its 2026 F-150 listings are gas and hybrid pickups. For those, see our Ford F-150 MPG guide.

What lowers real-world Lightning range
Fueleconomy.gov says EPA estimates are based on standardized tests and are a useful tool for comparing vehicles, but may not accurately predict what you will get. For electric vehicles it points to these factors:
Cold weather
In cold weather an EV's fuel economy can drop roughly 39% in mixed city and highway driving and its range by 41%. About two-thirds of the extra energy goes to heating the cabin; with the heater off, range is about 12% lower at 20°F than at 75°F.
Heat and air conditioning
Under very hot conditions, air conditioning can cut a conventional vehicle's fuel economy by more than 25%, and the effect on EVs can be even larger on a percentage basis. A warmer AC setting uses less battery power.
Pre-heat or pre-cool while plugged in
Pre-heating or pre-cooling the cabin while the vehicle is plugged into the charger can extend range, and seat warmers use less energy than the cabin heater.
Braking
Anticipate stops and brake gently or moderately so regenerative braking can recover energy. Hard braking uses the conventional friction brakes, which do not recover energy.
Accessories and economy mode
Heating, air conditioning and other accessories can have a bigger effect on electric vehicles. Many EVs have an economy mode that can limit performance, such as acceleration, to save energy.
Charging and the owner's manual
Keeping the battery charged helps maximize driving range. Fueleconomy.gov suggests checking the owner's manual for the best charging advice for your vehicle.

What is the range of the standard-range F-150 Lightning?
Fueleconomy.gov lists 240 miles for the 2025 F-150 Lightning 4WD SR and for the 2024 F-150 Lightning 4WD, the 2024 listing without Extended Range in its name.
How long does an F-150 Lightning take to charge on 240 volts?
The EPA charge time on fueleconomy.gov, for a fully empty battery on 240-volt service, is 10.1 to 14.6 hours across the 2025 listings: 11.9 hours for the 4WD SR, 14.6 for the 4WD ER1, 10.1 for the 4WD PRO ER1, 13.7 for the 4WD ER2 and 14.6 for the Platinum 4WD. Lower voltage takes longer.
Which F-150 Lightning is the most efficient?
Of the 2025 listings, the F-150 Lightning 4WD ER2 has the highest combined rating, 72 MPGe, and uses 47 kWh per 100 miles. The Platinum 4WD is rated 66 MPGe and 51 kWh per 100 miles.
Is there a 2026 F-150 Lightning range rating?
As of November 9, 2026, fueleconomy.gov does not list a 2026 or 2027 F-150 Lightning. Its most recent F-150 Lightning ratings are for the 2025 model year.
How much range does an electric truck lose in winter?
It depends on the vehicle and conditions. Fueleconomy.gov says that in cold weather an EV's fuel economy can drop roughly 39% in mixed city and highway driving and its range by 41%, with about two-thirds of the extra energy used to heat the cabin. With the cabin heater off, it says range is about 12% lower at 20°F than at 75°F.
What does MPGe mean?
Miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent. Fueleconomy.gov describes it as the number of miles a vehicle can go using a quantity of fuel with the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline, so you can compare an electric vehicle with a gas one.
