State of Charge channel on YouTube did some research (and speculation) and believes the battery will be a 51 kWh LFP.

That would mean the likely range on a mid-sized pickup (depending on the aero, wheel size, tires, etc.) is about 200 miles or less.

It is also confirmed to be 400V architecture. So its likely to be fairly slow charging (compared to the best possible charge speeds in recent EVs).

Informed speculation for those who are interested.

    I hope not. I've taken my extended-range Lightning halfway across the country and back, and in certain areas you need all that range. I can't imagine having 200 miles or less, but then maybe they're explicitly not aiming at this being a vehicle you can use for taking the family on a road trip the way that the Lightning is.

    Sounds like it will be a poor road tripper, but on the other hand, I have used a DC charger exactly once in three years of EV ownership, so I personally am not going to fixate on that. Of course I have about 270 miles of range so a shorter range could change that equastion...
