Couldn’t stop in Hot Springs and not charge with Franklin’s Charging! Love what they did here! Nothing beats seeing a historic service station turned into charging - a trend I hope we see much more of!

This will always be one of my favorite places. Exploring it silently is just icing on the cake.

This remains one of my favorite places on earth. Dust may have obscured some views (and undone my car wash to a spectacular degree) but the sense of splendid isolation here is incredible.

The closest DCFC to Big Bend - last fast electrons until after some time with nature.

They grow up so fast!

Day 3 of the road trip begins - 2,000 miles in and with a milestone for the Lightning - 20,000 awesome all-electric miles in just over 8 months since delivery.

Burning the midnight electrons across New Mexico (new charging state for Lightning!) and the memories of early electric road trips came flooding back on using these ancient ABB EA chargers.

The only kind of traffic jam I enjoy - wind turbine blades in the Texas Panhandle on their way to start their life making cheap electricity! ⚡️🌬️

1,600 miles in and the first pull through and covered charge of the trip!

Road Trip F-150 Lightning meets one that has to work for a living 🤣

Brand new chargers and Lightning’s first charge in Kansas! 😍

Commissioned just this week - meet the 250th Ford Charge location! So awesome having more options at dealers across the US and Canada!

📍Ford Charge at Rusty Eck Ford, Wichita, KS

Hard to believe an entire year has gone by since the opening of Superchargers and the start of adapters! In the last year, I’ve used my adapter 50 times, from Superchargers to IONNA, Kwik Trip, and more.

More options = better road trips, including this one!

Late night fast charge! First Missouri charge for the Lightning! Not pictured, our “1,000 miles in” ice cream reward from Andy’s nearby. 🍦

A new stop for the Lightning! No canopies here though.

It’s road trip time! 5,000ish all-electric miles starts… now!

18,000 miles on my F-150 Lightning in less than 8 months - kind of amazing how many adventures it's had in such a short amount of time - and it still hasn't had its first "adventurous" road trip yet (but that's only 2 weeks away!)
February 18, 2025 at 4:48 PM
New day, new charger! Love seeing how many new chargers are popping up - more options are always welcome!

Tired: Charging from on-peak electricity. 🥱

Wired: Charging from off-peak electricity. ⚡️

Whatever this is: Charging from the off-peak electricity you stored in the F-150 Lightning last night. 🤯

Bonus: No shuffling cars needed thanks to Pro Power Onboard 💪

So excited! My Grabber Yellow Mustang Mach-E Rally has been scheduled for production the first week of March! Can’t wait to get one of these in my driveway.

Well, my car battery died… oh not my EV battery. The battery on my unreliable ICE car. Gas cars, always something going wrong… at least AAA sent out a tech in a Ford Lightning to help me out. He said he loves the frunk for his gear. #evsky #batteries #ev
