I know it has 2 charge cables from there to plug in to both side of the truck at the same time. So I assume that needs a 100 amp breaker.

The F-150 Lightning is currently the first electric truck to offer dual onboard chargers for Level 2 charging. However, it’s only offered on the extended-range model and has a max rate of 19.2 kW. The standard-range model has a single 11.3-kW onboard charger.

As for DC fast charging, Ford hasn’t released the Lightning’s maximum charging rate, but it’s at least 150 kW...

There are several at-home charging options for the F-150 Lightning. Both standard and extended range models come with a low 32-amp charger...

A faster 48-amp charger is available...

Although, the home charger you want is the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro charger which comes with the extended-range model but is optional on the standard range...

The extended range has 2 onboard chargers... but it seems only 1 EVSE connection is required. That means it needs a hardwired 100 amp circuit to deliver the 80 rated amps.

The standard range has a single 11.3 kW charger, which means it can handle up to 47 amps, and the provided 32 amp EVSE doesn't quite deliver its full potential. Again, you'd need a hardwired circuit to the EVSE to get the full 47 amps.

A 50 amp NEMA-14/50r is the highest rated standard residential electrical outlet, so if you want to get the full charging speed out of either the standard or extended range, you'll be needing to hardwire the EVSE.
