Ford CEO, Jim Farley, has been a busy man as of late. So many newly promoted Ford vehicles, along with the original models. Farley's latest statement about the Lightning is that is the EPA range estimates for the electric truck will range from 230 miles of range to the possibility up to 320 miles on a single charge. Obviously the more expensive battery will get consumers more milage.

The standard battery provides a range of 230 miles, while upgrading to the Extended Range battery boosts that to 320 miles, says Farley.

The Platinum model (pictured above), only available with the bigger battery, can go 300 miles on a charge, but most likely losing some range due to larger wheels and a taller ride height.

Farley confirmed the information in a tweet over the past weekend:


Deliveries of the all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning are set to commence this summer, and now Ford CEO Jim Farley has confirmed the EPA fuel-economy estimates for the upcoming battery-electric truck. Farley revealed the efficiency figures in a tweet after the Lightning’s Monroney labels—the stickers displaying official information on new cars.

The mileage estimates have yet to appear on the official EPA website, but according to Farley, the Pro, XLT, and Lariat models with the standard battery will have a range of 230 miles. Upgrading to the Extended Range battery on those trims boosts the range to an impressive 320 miles. Meanwhile the Platinum model, which can only be had with the bigger battery but has a higher ride height and larger wheels, can travel 300 miles on a charge. Farley said that the Extended Range figures beat their initial target by 20 miles.
