โ๏ธIn a stunning reversal of its electrification strategy, Ford has officially ended production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning effective immediately.
Citing a lack of profitability and slowing market demand for expensive battery-powered trucks, the automaker has halted assembly lines, though current inventory will remain available for purchase into 2026.
The company is aggressively pivoting capital away from large pure-electric pickups in favor of hybrids and a forthcoming โExtended-Range Electric Vehicleโ (EREV) system.
This replacement technology aims to combine electric motor performance with a gasoline generator, promising a massive 700-mile range to specifically address the towing anxiety that hindered the original model.
With the industry watching closely, do you believe this shift back toward hybrid technology is the smartest path forward for the future of American trucks?
