Fuel cost and CO2
At 15,000 miles a year with 55% of them in the city, with electricity at $0.15 per kWh, the annual fuel bill of the most efficient version is about $1,050.
It has no tailpipe emissions, so the CO2 column is zero; the emissions from making the electricity are not part of this figure.
Rated versions
The city rating of 79 is 14 above the highway rating of 65. 5 versions are rated for 2025. The most efficient, F-150 Lightning 4WD ER2: electric motor, Automatic (A1), 4WD, gets 72 MPGe; the least efficient listed, F-150 Lightning Platinum 4WD: electric motor, Automatic (A1), AWD, gets 66 MPGe, a gap of 6 MPGe. With the file's assumptions that gap is worth about $100 a year in fuel.
