I know you're spinning the Ford hybrid as the "Chase Truck" but we all know it's really the "Defibrillator". š¤£šš¤£

need to feature this truck in a Snickers commercial--"Not Going Anywhere for Awhile?"

The range anxiety is real. Great freaking job guys.

I very much like the comparison with the Model T. That exactly it. And if nobody tries, we will never get a step further. Well done, guys.

I almost died laughing at "we will see you next week when we are still here charging"

David is the best!
"It's like being at a 5 star hotel"-after purchasing stuff from Goodwill to make breakfast. I love his simplicity and the fact that he's like most normal people.

Electric vehicles might be one of the most painful ways to travel that far north! I can't even imagine how awful of a trip this would be if it wasn't summertime!
Great work (and patience) guys!

I laughed when he said "come back next week, while we'll still be charging."
Honestly, it's not practical for that type of trip (or towing, or anything truly long distance), but man, that is an adventure and has to be fun trying to get up there with that rig. I could see that being a fun road trip with a spouse, or an older kid or a hunting buddy kind of thing. Looking forward to the next episode (yall probably still charging).

While I have zero interest in this truck, this is a great series TFL!

I live in the north, Iāve lived in Fairbanks and Iāve driven to the Arctic Ocean. I drive the Alaska highway a few times a year. As cars have gotten better at driving longer Iāve seen gas stations close in between the āmajorā fuel stops. If people start taking these EVās seriously for road trips, I could see the old stations be converted to EV charge stations, more little mom and pop restaurants attached to them. But itās years away and I donāt know if thatās the real solution. Average speed on the highway is 60mph+, I typically go 110kph which is something in mph. Even the Motorhomes a arenāt going 50mph. These EVās are not even close to being useful up here and these guys are doing a great job of showing why. This is the best EV series Iāve seen. You guys are great!

When I worked for GM at one of there R&D centers in Torrance CA. Were we actually designed and built a lot of the electronics, Inveters and Bds units for the EV1. I remember going to meetings and even back then GM goals were to design batteries. That could do at least five miles per Kilowatt. And this was when they were still using lead acid Batteries with a range of about Eighty miles. Driving like you had an egg under your foot. As we had ten of them for the engineers and managers to drive. But because they were literally lead foots with them fifty miles was about it. And one of my favorite jobs was I got to take them home on the weekends and unfortunately drive them gently to get the range back up to Eighty. So they could drive them like maniacs again. š. Then they started putting in nickel metal batteries which got the the up to about one hundred and fifty miles driving very gingerly. But of course they still drove them hard .thus bringing the range down to about Eighty miles if lucky. At least I got a free Manga charger installed at home. Back then Gm was pushing a induction paddle charger. Which I also had a lot to do with. Helping the engineer's design and actually building the first few hundred paddles. I was just an engineering Technician. Sadly those were the fondest days working there. As soon all the top engineers mostly from Hughes Aircraft. Were leaving or retiring. And of course they replaced practically all of them with work Visa employees from mostly China š. Oh the story's I could tell would blow your mind. Especially when they took and destroyed 98% of them after all the leases were up. And the STUPIDITY of GM's brass .DECISION to go straight to Hydrogen fuel cells. While Toyota was just selling the first generation Prius. All of us were just shaking our heads going the the hell hole in the ground thease bigwigs were doing. At least a few figured it out and we started working on the Volt about two years after that.š.

The further north you go the fewer satellites you can link with making it difficult for some GPS devices to give an accurate position or heading. Great video and experiment. As an Alaskan who has traveled the Haul Road many times, I am loving this. I want to see the video on the clean up and repairs. That road eats vehicles.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Great job by the entire team. This series is a joy to watch.

Now show the crew relaxing and cruising comfortably in the hybrid while you stress out about weight, aero, speed, remaining charge, next place to charge, do we have the right adapter to charge, how long will it take to charge, etc, etc...

The more I watch this, the more I donāt want a ford lightningš but Iām glad theyāre doing these vids!

Imagine if you actually had to work or be at a destination! Thank you for a great adventure.

I really enjoy this series! It shows how weāre just not ready to go all electric ā¦ just yet. A comment in the video was this Ford truck is like a model T in terms of development of the technology. Not exactly the same comparison. The mode T was the first affordable, mass produced car costing about 6k in todays dollars, not 90k like the one in the video. The Model T got about 20 mpg ā¦ so it had much better range! When we figure out how to go 350 miles on a 15 minute charge for about 15k purchase price ā¦ THAT will be the Model T of electric cars. Until then I would call the F-150 Lightning the Duesenberg of electric cars.

Interesting series. Glad you did it. It certainly lets me know there is no way an EV has any place in my future, in the near term anyway. I lack the patience for charging and the tolerance for the stress and complexity of ownership.

That tour guide was great. I love people like that. Just friendly and excited to talk to new people.
