Ford F-150 Lightning Vs Rivian R1T: How Much Vampire Drain? via insideevs.com
EV Buyers GuideAlex provides some more details about vampire drain and then shares information about his tests. He parked the F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T each for 10 days to learn just how much energy theseconsume while not in use and not plugged in. He charged them to 100 percent and he turned off the R1T camera-based security system to save power.
After the 10 days, which actually turned out to be 11 since Alex accidentally waited an extra day, thewas down to 73 percent, which is a significant drop. We imagine that with the security system running, the truck would have consumed even more energy, and most people would probably want to have the system engaged if they were leaving their truck somewhere for a period of time.
Alex also notes that the R1T doesn't seem to go into as deep of a sleep mode as other EVs, but it also has a very quick startup process and responsive infotainment system, so it's hard to know for sure. When Alex turns on the F-150 Lightning, it takes some time to boot up, and the infotainment system is sluggish. Again, he says this is partly due to the nature of the truck and the system itself. However, once the Lightning is ready to go, it shows a full 100 percent still, suggesting that there was no vampire drain. Alex says the range seems to have dropped slightly, though.
