What charging actually costs here

Filling a Ford F-150 Lightning from empty in New York costs $34.96. The car draws 118.6 kWh from the wall for a full 240-mile charge, and New York residential electricity averages 29.49¢ per kWh. That works out at $14.57 per 100 miles, or $0.15 a mile.

New York is more expensive than average: 29.49¢ against a national mean of 19.42¢, which ranks it 47 of 51 for electricity price. The same car costs $15.54 to fill in Nevada and $62.50 in Hawaii — a 4.0× spread across the country for identical driving.

This is one of the few places where the sum does not favour electricity. At 29.49¢ per kWh, running the Ford F-150 Lightning costs $14.57 per 100 miles while a 30 mpg petrol car costs $13.62 — so over 12,000 miles you would spend about $114 more on electricity. Home solar or an off-peak tariff changes that quickly, but the flat residential rate does not.

How much does a Ford F-150 Lightning cost per mile in New York?

About $0.15 a mile, or $14.57 per 100 miles. Over 12,000 miles a year that is roughly $1,748 of electricity.

Is charging a Ford F-150 Lightning cheaper than petrol in New York?

Not at the flat residential rate. Electricity costs $14.57 per 100 miles here against $13.62 for a 30 mpg petrol car, so you would spend roughly $114 more a year. New York has the kind of electricity prices where an off-peak tariff or solar makes the difference.

How long does a full charge last?

The EPA rates the Ford F-150 Lightning at 240 miles combined. Cold weather, motorway speeds and a loaded car all reduce that; the EPA number is a standardised test, not a guarantee.

Does this include charging losses?

Yes. The EPA's 49.4 kWh/100 mi figure is measured at the wall socket, so the energy lost in the charger and cabling is already in the number. No extra efficiency factor is applied.
