I paid $800 for a 60 amp charging system, the fastest you can get. It comes with a 50 amp... But I plugged the 50 amp in at work, I just never use it. I mainly got it because the government gave me $600 off of it... and paid for half the install. So charger was $200... And I plan on moving, so I figure worst case it increases my house value.
I got it installed in my garage about 5 FT from the breaker panel - So It cost me $450 for an electrician... I used the guy we use at work all the time, so he gave me a deal. That included permit and everything - The government pays for 50% up to $600... So that cost me $225. So $425 total to wire my house up with the fastest charger..... I dont know if theyre doing it in USA, but in Canada ford is giving away a free charger as well as install with the purchase or lease of an F150.. But my guess is thats area dependent.
I have the standard low range battery, We got the cheapest model because it's a work truck. It gets 280 miles per charge - Sounds low, and if you do a lot of traveling it is... but for work / city stuff, and the occasional 1000 mile trip, its not bad. Thats 280 actual miles, sitting idling doesnt count towards it like gas does - I get to about 30% and then plug it in at night, and its charged to 100% in 7 hours. I've never once used a fast charger, or non home charger, except when I go on vacation 500 miles away.. then it's about $20-30 to fill it up, and takes about 20 minutes to get from 20%-85%. I've only done 1 long trip to seattle (400 miles), The hotel had free charging so I didnt have to use fast charging much, just to top it up because we were exploring a lot.
Early electrics the batteries sucked and died quick. People with 5 year old vehicles are reporting the battery is at 98% health. It comes with an 8 years, or 160,000 KM warranty... Some people with 10 year old Teslas are still at 90% health. Now if something does happen to it, thats like a 20-30k repair... But those cases are rare, and usually involves people bringing it offroading and denting the battery.
I would get the extended range battery again if I could, this is a lease instead of a finance as we wanted to test electric. It involves a bit more forethought, if I know one of our employees is going to do installs all around the city, I know I need to charge it the night before so he's not wasting 30 minutes at a charging dicking around on his phone waiting. But I havent had to goto a gas station in 6 months - I get home, I spend 20 seconds to plug the vehicle in...and its always ready. I know gas only takes 5-10 minutes, but its nice not having to stop and get gas, and just always be ready.
Now on the other hand... The owner of the company has borrowed it a dozen times to play with it. He has a cottage in USA he goes to every other week... when he's towing a boat, he gets maybe 140-150 miles per charge... For towing they suck. He has to stop and charge like 3 times, he said what takes him 3 hours in his landrover took him 8 the first time in the lightning... then 5 the rest of the times once he got over the running out of battery fear. He loves how it drives, and said for city driving nothing beats it... but if you're constantly towing, or going 200 miles away, he'd never purchase one for himself.
So it has advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I'd never go back! The gas savings alone almost pays for the the lease / financing on a gas truck.... And its such a smooth / quiet ride, I've been in mazaratis, jags, land rovers, nothing drives as smooth as the lightning does... or as quick.
