Ford F-150 Lightning: Exclusive Interview With Ford VP, Darren Palmer

I get an exclusive interview with Ford Model e’s Vice President of Electric Vehicle Programs, Darren Palmer to discuss my initial F-150 Lightning ownership experience. I ask Darren a variety of questions from charging strategy to warranty concerns to supply issues.

I then ask him to comment on the things I don’t love about my Lightning and finish up by asking him about the issues that some owners are having with Ford Charge Station Pro. Much was learned.
