Ford CEO Jim Farley drives the F-150 Lightning electric car through Route 66 and the American West and records the journey on LinkedIn and Twitter/X.
After the tour ended on August 13, Jim Farley shared his experience charging the electric pickup.
In a video posted on Twitter /X, Jim Farley admitted: “Keeping batteries charged is hard enough. This is a good way to better understand what our customers have to deal with, as well as the importance of keeping Experience. Fast Charging Build”.
Jim Farley said he went to a well-known “charging site” on Interstate 5 in Coalinga, California. That’s where a lot of Tesla’s supercharger capacitors come from.
However, Ford electric vehicles cannot be charged here. Therefore, he was forced to use ordinary charging capacitors. After 40 minutes, the battery of the electric vehicle is only 40%.
Along the way, he experienced a headache like any other electric car owner – photo: Jim Farley/Twitter (x)
What Farley had to overcome is one of the biggest hurdles in the development of electric vehicles, especially for those that don’t have brands that don’t have their own charging station systems like Tesla in the US or WinFast in the US . Vietnam.
Currently, Ford electric vehicles cannot be charged at a Supercharger. But that will soon change with a cooperation agreement between the two sides. Ford’s electric cars are expected to use superchargers as early as next year. Later, General Motors, Rivian and many other manufacturers followed suit.
