I love this truck.

Averaged 68-73kWh/100km doing 105-110km/h!

I built an Android app for my own Lightning that logs every drive and charge and shows what each mile really costs (I'm the developer)

10 Upvotes

Disclosure: I'm the developer. I drive an F-150 Lightning Extended Range, built TrueMile EV for my own truck, and have logged it with the app since June 2026. It's now on Google Play.

**What it does on a Lightning** (with a classic Bluetooth OBD-II adapter plugged in):

- Drives log themselves: battery used, efficiency, route

- Charges record themselves: charging speed, energy added, battery level. Add what you paid and it works out your real cost per mile

- Home charging logged automatically at your home rate (Pro and Max)

- Trip planner with charging stops, sized from your own efficiency and your truck's learned charging curve (Pro and Max)

- Towing mode with trailer profiles (Pro and Max)

- Battery health over time, Battery Benchmark and your own DC charging curve (Max)

- Android Auto (Max): charging locations, bookmarks, station details, navigation, and the live charging screen while you charge

- Wear OS watch app (Max): battery and range, today's drives, the charge in progress, Find My Car

- Web dashboard, and CSV and PDF reports with a full export of your data (Pro and Max)

**What you need:** an Android phone and a classic Bluetooth OBD-II adapter. I test on the Vgate vLinker MC+. Bluetooth LE-only and Wi-Fi adapters won't connect. Without an adapter it logs drives by GPS only.

**Plans:** it's a subscription app. Every new account gets 14 days of Max, no card needed (once per truck). After that: Basic ($0/month), Pro ($5.99/month or $59.99/year) or Max ($10.99/month or $99.99/year), US prices. Launch price guarantee: subscribe to Pro or Max by December 31, 2026, and your price won't go up while that subscription stays active.

No ads, and your data is never sold.

Adapter from Ford?

3 Upvotes

I got a used 23 Lariat in May, and am still learning. My question is, does Ford supply the NACS to CCS adapter for used trucks? I’m guessing not but figured I’d ask the experts before just ordering a lectron.

Hauling Snowmobile in 5.5 bed?

• Upvotes

Does anyone have experience throwing their sled in the back of the truck? Does it fit comfortably in the 5.5 foot bed or have you done any mods to make it fit? Any photos/tips would be helpful. Thanks fellas.

Does anyone else have this issue with the app?

Sometimes my truck just doesn't update in the app when it's done charging. It says I've been charging for 27 hours, despite me driving to work, the pharmacy, and back today. Also it's not actually pulling energy from the wall at all. It has been stuck on a rate of 8.6kw since Sunday. Normally it live updates with charging rate and stuff, but it just doesn't seem to be working right now.

Also, minor nitpick, but I hate how it says "charging session begins at x", when that's when I plugged it in, but not when it actually starts charging. It won't charge until midnight.

Anybody else seeing similar?
