Not OP, but middle America resident here. Family vacationed in my Bolt EUV 2023 to Florida and had to plan activities at most of my charge stops because of how slow it DC fast charges (50kw). Mostly meals, but locating museums and other stuff wasn’t to hard. CCS network is not good, but it’s good enough with the right planning. Yeah road trips aren’t ideal in the Bolt, but since Ford didn’t make but 15 base model F-150 Lightnings and I wasn’t paying $30,000 over MSRP for 1 of 3 trucks in stock East of the Mississippi, I bought the Bolt instead planning to put my daughter in it when she’s ready to drive. I would’ve preferred utility and faster DC charging, but had to make do with what was available. Road tripping in a Tesla would be much easier and quicker.
Before you ask, no you can’t buy the base model Lightning direct from Ford. You can all other trims though.
