“The Electrification of the F-Series – for 44 years best selling pick-up in the USA – represents a significant step in the mass introduction of electric vehicles in America,” said Kumar Galho, President of the Americas and International Markets Group of Ford. The US manufacturer announced a good year ago the construction of the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center as part of an initial investment of $ 700 million in the historic Ford Rouge Center and thus created a production plant for F-150 Lightning. Now the first pre-series F-150 Lightning leave the factory for real tests. The first customer deliveries should start in the coming spring.

This car has Ford properly planned. You know your clientele, which is very conservative, but you have to earn money and if you make a “something” easier, you will buy that. The “something” is in this case an electric drive in your usual F 150. This will work the frunk to the engine room for network-independent work. So you wanted to convince slowly the regular. Now that is convincing obviously a little faster, so you have to produce more cars. That’s good and right like that.
