Buying a Lightning? EV Charging Explained.
First!
Charging your Lightning need not be any harder than filling up your diesel or petrol vehicle once you understand the major points below.
EV charging, unlike petrol or diesel engines, has far more variety of options and convenient choices to charge than to refuel an internal combustion engine vehicle.
There are a few key points you need to understand first…
EVs can accept two types of power: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
- AC Charging
Most EVs come with an onboard charger that converts AC power from the grid into DC power to charge the battery.
- DC Fast Charging
DC fast chargers bypass the car's onboard charger, delivering high-voltage DC power directly to the battery.
Next… Charging Levels.
This is likely the most critical and important part of Lightning ownership with respect to charging.
- Level 1 (AC Charging)
This is the basic and slowest form of charging. It's generally 2.4kW via a standard 10amp outlet - the type of outlet you use at home to plug in your phone charger, fridge, or TV.
AUSEV retails a Level 1 charger which is validated to work perfectly with the F-150 Lightning. Our charger is made by EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment). It’s a small, compact, and very affordable device, and it can help charge your vehicle overnight.
12 hours of overnight charging (7pm – 7am) will net over 90 kilometres of range. The average Australian commute by car is 34km round-trip, meaning the typical commuter would be satisfied with even a Level 1 charger, never needing to visit public charger or service station again.
- Level 2 (AC Charging)
Travel even further on the average day? Level 2 chargers are much faster again. These can range from 7.2kW up to 22kW and are commonly found in public charging stations. They can even be installed at your home by an electrician.
We recommend the 7.2kW AUSEV Home Smart Charger, which we supply fully installed nationwide.
The 7.2kW charger provides over 280km of range overnight – perfect for charging up even after long weekend trips.
- Level 3 (DC Fast Charging)
Also known as DC fast chargers, this is fastest option available.
They can range between 22kW to 350kW, however most suppliers in public charging locations will be between 50kW to 150kW.
The 150kW charging a F-150 lightning from 15% to 80% will be done in just 38 minutes. These 150kW stations are now very common and even increasingly found in the most remote communities.
You’ll typically only use this option on road trips where you’ll be away from your home charger for an extended period of time. If you’re travelling long distances in a single day, Level 3 chargers are commonly found at rest stops along highways, and are convenient to charge at while stopping for a lunch break.
