![]() ![]() Imagine having compassion for those whose homes and lives were destroyed from a category 4 storm. Westley even had some time to call out some counterproductive and misinformed anti-EV fear-mongering during the hurricane. Haha, vinyls are quite amazing when you have no internet or cell service! Westley also brought us back in time a bit, or at least used technology some of us remember from the 2000s, 1990s, and perhaps even earlier to enjoy some entertainments during the storm without WiFi. Though, it turns out he is a photographer and Associate Creative Director at Elegant Seagulls, with clients ranging from ESPN to Netflix to Airbnb. At first, I wondered if he had used Ford market pictures. The pictures are almost out of an ad for Ford. Westley Aaron Ferguson September 30, 2022Īs the picture on the bottom right shows, the battery was still at 95% charge and the AC inside the truck was set to 69☏. Lightning saving the day!

The F-150 Lightning owner who used his Lightning when his power was out is Westley Aaron Ferguson. Before we get to that story, though, if you want to watch that aforementioned webinar, here it is: ![]() This F-150 Lightning owner, Aaron Smith, who is also a CleanTechnica reader and President of the Energy and Environmental Building Alliance (EEBA), joked that I could use a Lightning during Hurricane Ian - and believe me, I was thinking the same!! As it turned out, we didn’t lose electricity until about 90% of our county and 100% of our neighboring county had lost electricity within our utility district, and I made it all the way through the hour-and-a-half webinar! (We ended up losing electricity for just ~16 hours starting later in the evening.) As we’ll see below, a Ford F-150 Lightning did help one Florida man and his family ride out the storm. I was upstairs in our townhouse as strong hurricane winds began to strike us, and I expected the power to go out at any moment. Incidentally, he and I were on a webinar that was recorded during Hurricane Ian. The first I heard about was up in Michigan, and we’ve got a whole podcast coming on that F-150 Lightning owner’s experience as well as his commentary on owning the Mustang Mach-E, driving with Ford BlueCruise, and more. The Ford F-150 Lightning has just barely arrived on the market, yet I’ve already heard a few stories of the Lightning powering people’s needs in the event of power outages. ![]()
