What an eye-opening article by the Motor Trend writer's experience with the F150 Lightning on a long trip! I knew about charging stations where sometimes only half the chargers work, and also that they don't charge at anywhere near their advertised rate. But this SNAFU goes well beyond that. Until these "range anxiety" issues are resolved, EVs will remain unsuited for long distance travel.
