Lot of people told me that s an oxymoron, you cannot have an ev truck and so, a lot of it has been to convince people that it can be tough and that this technology with the batteries as well as the motors actually can be more tough and in many ways, a better tool for the customer. ways, a better tool for the customer- customer. you work in engineering customer. you work in engineering so - customer. you work in engineering so cars i customer. you work in| engineering so cars and customer. you work in - engineering so cars and again, no less ground breaking here, i don t want to talk about how you got drawn into that is the thing you wanted to do. i understand that there is something called the solar vehicle race across australia. tell us about that and about this field. tell us about that and about this field- tell us about that and about this field. i, . ~ :: this field. back in 2012, were stud in: this field. back in 2012, were studying the this field. back in 2012, were studying the university - this field. back in 2012, were studying the university and l this field. back in 2012, were i studying the university and we found studying the university and we found the solar car to participate and for the first time participate and for the first time in participate and for the first time in 2013 when we competed, the first time in 2013 when we competed, the first time introduced a new class the first time introduced a new class for the first time introduced a new class for vehicles that, not
Come from the technology? mining responsibility is very important and that s what more people are attuned to. we drank some of the coalitions that help ensure that we are mining responsibly and i think you re absolutely right that electric vehicles in general are better and more sustainable for the environment and a recent study of the university of michigan just went through some of the data and for north america, ev from a lifecycle perspective, critical to the grave, including all the manufacturing and the batteries still result in a 64% less harm to the planet and eyes of traditional gas vehicle would. there is definitely improvements their and we as companies and we as individuals and to make sure we
The year, according to usa today and put it on the cover of time magazine. we re expecting all the fuss? for m self, expecting all the fuss? for myself, personally - expecting all the fuss? fr? myself, personally at that point, no. iwasn t myself, personally at that point, no. i wasn t expecting any of that because it s just surreal. but for the vehicle itself, we do expect a lot of us because the fact that it is f series and it being basically in iconic vehicle, and away, a point for the industry because what it represents, and the way, if you think about with this product is and how people use it, it s notjust electrifying this vehicle but also changing the way that people might perceive what this can be. trucks are generally known for being very masculine and work oriented and being able to get things done. so, people use it almost in a way as a tool whereas in ev, people think of it as an eagle vehicle. those two things don t always go together perfectly. a
Scientist and a company called wave and he s there to tell us about autonomous driving vehicles. she is the chief engineer of the f 150 lightning. it has engineer of the f150 lightning. it has managed to somehow electrify one of america s most iconic and brilliant course. to join america s most iconic and brilliant course. tojoin me in welcoming them today. linda, let s start with you. people outside the us will not know what an icon the f150 is. . what an icon the f150 is. , the f series is such an iconic brand it is responsible for $112 billion of revenue. so, that is 17 million units on the road pretty much any given time since 2020. pretty much any given time since2020. ., , ., ., since 2020. and a bit of a gas auzzler, since 2020. and a bit of a gas guzzler. eight since 2020. and a bit of a gas guzzler, eight km since 2020. and a bit of a gas guzzler, eight km per- since 2020. and a bit of a gas| guzzler, eight km per litre and your role in electrifying this vehicle has made you woman of
Way clearly not for everyone. the way to clearly not for everyone. the way to view this is the first car is way to view this is the first car is the way to view this is the first car is the technology demonstration. you wouldn t get in the demonstration. you wouldn t get in the very demonstration. you wouldn t get in the very limited series and is the in the very limited series and is the main reason why this was person is the main reason why this was person expensive. the key is in scaling person expensive. the key is in scaling up person expensive. the key is in scaling up and that is what we planned scaling up and that is what we planned on the road map for 2025 planned on the road map for 2025 and planned on the road map for 2025 and be planned alone here too and 2025 and be planned alone here too and in 2025 and be planned alone here too and in terms of efficiency and therefore you can go and solar and therefore you can go and solar panels. that one is going to have solar panels. that one is going to have a solar panels. that one is going to have a starting price of 30,000 to have a starting price of 30,000 euros. because of the look 30,000 euros. because of the look at 30,000 euros. because of the look at notjust 30,000 euros. because of the look at not just the purchase price look at not just the purchase price but look at not just the purchase price but the total cost of ownership of a car like this and ownership of a car like this and if ownership of a car like this and if you ownership of a car like this and if you start with electrifying a vehicle, the fuel electrifying a vehicle, the fuel cost of having to charge her car fuel cost of having to charge her car like this can be done to three her car like this can be done to three or her car like this can be done to three or four. 0n her car like this can be done to three or four. on top of that, to three or four. on top of that, mix to three or four. on top of that, mix the car, the electric car twice that, mix the car, the electric car twice as efficient as most cars car twice as efficient as most cars on car twice as efficient as most cars on the road today and we recreate cars on the road today and we recreate half of the current needs recreate half of the current needs for the average person for the needs for the average person for the solar panels were
It is really about making sure that the truck does exactly needs to do. f150 lightning can tell, whole and do all the things that a gas f150 can and in addition to it, we offer a lot more and we are leveraging a battery to provide electricity for customers and particularly in electrical outage situations we can actually use it for home and multiple things at a time. and with an engine, were able to take advantage of that space up front and basically turn it into a front trunk and the performance in the vehicle is just outstanding and you get that instant work that we told about earlier which gives you zero to 60 mph and mid four seconds. it is fast. i zero to 60 mph and mid four seconds. it is fast. seconds. it is fast. i have a question seconds. it is fast. i have a question from seconds. it is fast. i have a question from gilbert - seconds. it is fast. i have a l question from gilbert coming through on the video link. gilbert, if you can unmute your
That works and how much power you can deliver out of electric motors and mother was a problem for you. motors and mother was a problem for ou. ,., ., , for you. the power on this vehicle is for you. the power on this vehicle is actually - for you. the power on this vehicle is actually great. i for you. the power on this i vehicle is actually great. 775 foot pounds of torque which is higher than the highest out of any f150 and it s 584 horsepower. it s also the quickest f1 50 that we ever built but a lot of people have a hard time even getting to that point because they view it as it s electric. and we really had to work through changing some of those concepts. your initial power is actually really magnificent. it s near instant work of 775 whereas with a traditional gas vehicle, yet the engine combustion, you have the gears in the transmission and that torque actually has to grow. so, you have a very different curve, and away. the difficulty with ev is that maintaining towing in this case of a truck over
Do it responsibly and is beginning to cleaner energy too down the road, that 64% of improvement will obviously increase and that is to increase and that is to increase very quickly. thank ou so increase very quickly. thank you so much. increase very quickly. thank you so much. who - increase very quickly. thank you so much. who in - increase very quickly. thank you so much. who in the . you so much. who in the audience would like to ask us a question of any of our amazing panelists today? i question of any of our amazing panelists today? panelists today? i have a question panelists today? i have a question for panelists today? i have a question for linda. - panelists today? i have a question for linda. first | panelists today? i have a i question for linda. first of an. question for linda. first of all. you question for linda. first of all, you said about the fuel cells, all, you said about the fuel cetis, i all, you said about the fuel cells, i have a quick question because cells, i have a quick question because i cells, i have a quick question because i know f150, how much of the because i know f150, how much of the big because i know f150, how much of the big vehicle it is. how are you of the big vehicle it is. how are you able to get people to really are you able to get people to really adopt the use of electric and places like rural pennsylvania, upstate new york where pennsylvania, upstate new york where we pennsylvania, upstate new york where we are very much a hunting where we are very much a hunting environment where we have hunting environment where we have due hunting environment where we have due years push everything into the have due years push everything into the back of the vehicle. how into the back of the vehicle. how are into the back of the vehicle. how are you you able to get that how are you you able to get that uptake? | how are you you able to get that uptake? that uptake? i think a lot of it is really that uptake? i think a lot of it is really about that uptake? i think a lot of it is really about making - that uptake? i think a lot of.
