March 21, 2022 – The Ford F-150 Lightning will be offered with a choice of two battery packs. Those models equipped with the short-range pack, including the base Lightning Pro SR and Lightning Lariat SR, will still get the originally promised 230 miles per charge, according to the newly released EPA final estimates.
The long-range pack will get about 7% better than forecast initially – about 20 miles more. That includes the fleet-focused Lightning Pro ER and two retail models, the Lightning XLT ER and Lariat ER. The official EPA rating jumps to 320 miles. The top-line Lightning Platinum sees its EPA rating climb from 280 to 300 miles per charge.
Ford plans to set up the largest assembly complex in its history to produce the next-generation Lightning and other all-electric models beginning operations in 2025.
