F-150 Lightning Road Trip: Android Auto vs Apple CarPlay vs Ford Nav — real-world EV route planning from Charlotte, NC to Maine. We compare Google Maps (Android Auto), Apple Maps (CarPlay), and Ford’s built-in navigation for charger selection, stop count, and arrival SOC accuracy. We also push a ~250-mile leg to 2%, hit a Tesla Supercharger via NACS→CCS adapter, and end the night on free-vend Level-2 at the hotel.
Onboard tech: Comma 3X with BluePilot 4.0, Car Scanner OBD telemetry, iPad mini dash mount, and an A2Z NACS↔CCS adapter. Routes: I-77 / I-81 corridor, brand-new Buc-ee’s (Mount Crawford, VA) stop, then Chambersburg, PA overnight.
