After recently testing the Ford Lightning while towing the boat, the largest benefit was the cheaper cost of electricity compared to the fuel for my gasoline powered truck. I threw the numbers in a spreadsheet to highlight the difference. I used my average consumption around town with the two trucks to generate the figures.

My chevy is an 8.1L gas truck that I like to use for towing things around. The Ford Lightning is a 2022 press truck with an msrp of $93,000 (not my truck).

For many people, it is easy to get free electricity. However, for the purpose of this video, I used the DC charging station cost for the electricity rate.
