A social media influencer has announced that he regrets buying an electric car that he hoped would be his dream vehicle.<\/p>\n
Jed, who runs the YouTube channel Jetters Garage, revealed that he waited two years to get his hands on a Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck, priced at $49,995 (\u00a340,000).<\/p>\n
However, in a video, Jed explained that he sold the truck after owning it for less than a year due to a disagreement with the vehicle\u2019s charger.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIn order to get a Pro Charger you have to have purchased the truck, makes sense but only I had a friend that purchased his truck about five minutes before me and he got his Pro Charger sent to him by Sunrun, the vendor Ford works with, three months before he ever got the actual truck.<\/p>\n
\u201cI purchased the truck, I asked if they could ship me the charger early and they say \u2018no, you have to actually complete the purchase\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

It works half the time, it\u2019s very difficult, the user interface is very non-intuitive.<\/p>\n \u201cI think there is a very big opportunity for Ford to do something here. Ford, if you\u2019re listening, please fix your app, make it work.\u201d<\/p>\n Launched in April 2022, the Ford F-150 Lightning was the first pickup truck to come from the brand, featuring a range of up to 320 miles and a 1013kg payload.<\/p>\n However, whilst Jed stated that the truck had its faults, he concluded his video by stating that not everything about his electric Ford was bad, and that he would buy another EV in the future.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIn the end, would I do it again? Yes, I would. It\u2019s just a little bit of a learning curve and I think that you just need to be aware if you\u2019re going to make a purchase.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/plugging-in-4950424.jpg?r=1694193276497\")
