Lordstown Motors Corp. announced on Jan. 28 it has been added to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) listing, the first step to being able to sell the Lordstown Endurance full-size all-electric pickup truck to government fleets. Lordstown has started its outreach to state and local government entities, including the U.S. military, the company said in a statement.
