April 27, 2022 – Ford put its first-ever electric pickup, the 2023 F-150 Lightning, into production on Tuesday, marking a historic shift that will carry the brand into the next decade. But according to CEO Jim Farley, it’s not the only EV truck Ford has in store for us.
Farley didn’t go into any further details about the new electric pickup. With the new Ranger about to enter production, it’s entirely possible Ford is planning to release an all-electric Lightning version of that truck. It’s also possible the Blue Oval is planning a pure EV variant of the smaller Maverick, though that truck already has a hybrid powertrain.
The company is investing over $11 billion into a new campus in Stanton, Tennessee that’ll include an electric vehicle assembly plant and a battery factory. It’s there where Ford plans to build its next generation of all-electric trucks.
