Ford Abruptly Ends Electric F-150 Lightning And Pivots Lineup ...
Ford will end the all-electric F-150 Lightning after 2025 and introduce a 2026 extended-range hybrid with up to 700 miles of range, addressing demand and tax credit impacts.
- On Monday, Ford Motor Company announced it finished building its final 2025 F-150 Lightning examples and will reengineer the truck for 2026 as an extended-range EV with a gasoline generator.
- After the federal EV tax credit expired on Sep. 30, Lightning sales surged to nearly 4,000 in September before plunging to about 1,000 in November, weakening the North American EV market through 2025.
- The EREV is slated to offer a combined 700 miles of range, while Car and Driver reports it runs on electric power alone nine days out of ten, with a gasoline engine as generator and exportable electric power for homes and tools.
- Ford CEO Jim Farley said the company will take $19.5 billion in charges and invited customers to sign up on Ford's site for 2026 F-150 Lightning updates, emphasizing a strategic shift.
- Four years after electrifying the F-Series, Ford moved away from a pure EV Lightning amid slowing demand, and EREV adoption in the U.S. could grow thanks to the F-Series stature and the Lightning's earlier prominence.
