Ford’s upcoming electric pickup truck will be called the F-150 Lightning. The electric version of its best selling pickup will revive a legendary nameplate from V-8–powered street trucks.
They expect the F-150 Lightning’s battery pack to provide more than 300 miles of range since the longest-range Mustang Mach-E is EPA-rated at 305 miles of driving range. Ford also patented a removal range extender that could go in the truck’s bed.
Ford hasn’t released many details on the F-150 Lightning’s powertrain, but it will have a dual-motor setup providing all-wheel drive. Ford says the electric F-150 will provide more horsepower and torque and the fastest acceleration of any F-150 currently on the market. The electric Ford F-150 Lightning will go on sale in the middle of next year.
