F-150 Lightning highway range and real-world range
At a steady 120 km/h, we estimate the Ford F-150 Lightning Extended Range (131 kWh) covers about 392 km on a full charge, versus 515 km rated.

F-150 Lightning highway range at 120 km/h
NRCan's tests show the Extended Range (131 kWh) using 24% more energy on the highway than in the city, so highway range is lower the combined rating. NRCan's highway cycle averages well under 100 km/h, so we take its highway figure and reduce it by 15% for 120 km/h. The F-150 Lightning ranks #15 of 30 on this estimate.

F-150 Lightning real-world range
Real-world range depends on speed, temperature, wheels and load. Mixed driving in mild weather usually lands near the rated 515 km. Sustained highway speeds pull it toward the 392 km estimate, and a cold highway trip can drop it further; see the F-150 Lightning winter range. For trip planning, most drivers use between 10% and 80% (charging stops) or 100% (leaving home) of the battery, which is about 290 to 373 km of highway driving.
