Ford employees and F-150 Lightning customers will join the “Job 1” event for the first-ever full-size all-electric pickup to go on sale, a milestone moment in the country’s shift to electric vehicles.
Ford engineers took the first all-electric F-Series to two of America’s toughest real-world towing routes during development – Davis Dam in the summer and TFLTruck’s Ike Gauntlet in the winter.
Fleet customers have the option to purchase the extended range battery on Lightning Pro, which has an EPA-estimated range of 320 miles.
A 20% price increase on its electric pickup truck did not go over well. The company president announces they will return preorder holders back to their original prices.
The maker of an all-electric commercial pickup truck now plans to start production later this year as it aligns and draws on capital funding sources.
Analysis: The turning point in EV adoption will come as we move beyond early adopters and begin to see mainstream America choose EVs. The full-size pickup segment is where this might well happen.
There is something for everyone in the electric truck segment, from fleet-forward offerings such as the Ford F-150 Lightning and the newly announced Chevrolet Silverado EV to the futuristic Canoo Pickup and Tesla Cybertruck.
The move, announced via Instagram, will help Bollinger Motors to continue to develop technology that will have an impact in the automotive world's green future.
Fleets looking to order an F-150 Lightning in the first wave must have entered their interest as a “hand-raiser” with a valid FIN on Ford’s website. Additional reservation holders will be invited in phases to order over the next few months.
The electric truck maker's second U.S. plant will enable the company to ramp up production on future vehicle models.
